Media Not Pleased With Historical Figures in Obama’s New Children’s Book
Among the books President Obama has written, seemingly the least politically charged of all of them is his recently released children’s book, “Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters.” It’s a picture book which features images and stories of many prominent historical figures, such as Helen Keller, Cesar Chavez, Georgia O’Keefe, and Sitting Bull. However, proving that even children’s books can be controversial, media outlets have taken issue with the historical figures he appears to endorse in the book.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Fox News responded took issue with his endorsement of Sitting Bull, running a story with the headline: “Obama Praises Indian Chief Who Killed US General.” USA Today also pointed out the choice of Sitting Bull, saying: “His most controversial choice may be Sitting Bull, who defeated Custer at Little Bighorn.”
However, the book has already sold 50,000 copies in the first five days since its release — so all the media stir appears to be having little, if any, effect on sales.
