Washington (CNN) -- Half a million copies of a new children's book by President Obama hit the shelves Tuesday.

First daughters Sasha and Malia inspired the president to write "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters," publisher Random House said.

The publisher describes Obama's latest book as "a moving tribute to thirteen groundbreaking Americans and the ideals that have shaped our nation -- from the artistry of Georgia O'Keeffe, to the courage of Jackie Robinson, to the patriotism of George Washington."

So, in effect, he was writing this book when he was a senator?
That would possibly explain his non-votes and no-shows in senate.

Maybe his next book, in conjuction with Deval Patrick could be a play off of Hillary Clinton's "It takes a village to raise a child" and could call it "It takes an idiot to raid a village." :biglaugh:

Seriously.
we find a way to criticize this?

Buckman has it right, it is going to families of fallen/disabled soldiers. good for him.

maybe he's finally found something that he's good at, and without a teleprompter...go figure?...wait....I bet the kids wrote it for him:uhuh:

I don't support the president, but I support the mission...... of this book if the money is going to help ..."Proceeds will be donated to the children of fallen and disabled soldiers"
