What the hell is this... A picture is worth a thousand words. SOMEONE WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME WITH A CAMERA. IT WAS REPORTED THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS FURIOUS THAT HE WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND IT WAS PUBLISHED AND TRIED TO BLOCK IT. The name of the book Obama is holding is called: The Post-American World, and it was written by a fellow Muslim.(Fareed Zakaria) "Post" America means: The World "After" America !"

Received this on Facebook tonight. Rumour has it that the picture has been around for quite some time, but this is the first time I have seen it.

I don't know what the story is behind Whammy having this book, but it stinks to high heaven if you ask me. You make up your own mind and share as appropriate.

Maybe hes reading to get some ideas.
The USA is in trouble, its had an economic decline for over 5 years, 16 trillion dollars in debt, insists on burying its head in the sand on a lot of issues and requires something like 3.6 trillion to rebuild its infrastructure back to first world standard, its companies insist on outsoursing jobs overseas so the current CEO can make the books on his watch look very good so he can get his massive bonus and move on, destroying the countries manufacturing industry and putting the people who would buy their products out of a job, sothey dont buy, an endless downward spiral, which incidently most western countries seem to be suffering.
I cant see this changing in the current ecomonic model or political system where sound bites and point scoring is more important than a workable plan to "fix" the issues at hand.
The worse thing about this is we in the west have allowed it to happen.

Exactly Bushy, we're supporting more people than we have revenue, when does that stop? More people work for the government than in private industry because of the benefits, when does that stop?

It doesn't, the next plan is the same plan over and over.

Fareed Rafiq Zakaria is an Indian-American journalist and author. From 2000 to 2010, he was a columnist for Newsweek and editor of Newsweek International. In 2010 he became editor-at-large of Time. He is the host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS.

He cites Australia's 1996 ban and limiting access to guns as a solution to "gun violence". He also states; The other argument against any serious gun control is that it's unconstitutional, an attempt to undo American history. In fact, something close to the opposite is true.

From Wiki;
Zakaria self-identifies as a "centrist", though he has been described variously as a political liberal, a conservative, a moderate, or a radical centrist. George Stephanopoulos said of him in 2003, "He's so well versed in politics, and he can't be pigeonholed. I can't be sure whenever I turn to him where he's going to be coming from or what he's going to say." Zakaria wrote in February 2008 that "Conservatism grew powerful in the 1970s and 1980s because it proposed solutions appropriate to the problems of the age", adding that "a new world requires new thinking". He supported Barack Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary campaign and also for president. In January 2009 Forbes referred to Zakaria as one of the 25 most influential liberals in the American media. Zakaria has stated that he tries not to be devoted to any type of ideology, saying "I feel that's part of my job... which is not to pick sides but to explain what I think is happening on the ground. I can't say, 'This is my team and I'm going to root for them no matter what they do.

Sounds familiar to me.....
