Title: “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists”

Authors: Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott

Rank: 11

Blurb: “The book uncovers a far-leftist, anti-American nexus that has been instrumental in not only helping build Obama’s political career but in securing his presidency.”

Review: “After reading, ‘The Manchurian President’, you may still wonder how America could have possibly elected BHO, but you won’t wonder why he acts like a marxist through his public policy. The truth is, he’s been around marxism and socialism his entire life, and his policy reflects this stunning truth.”

This is a jellyfish. It lives in the sea. It’s not like all the other jellyfish. Its gonads are inside-out. The nice lady zoologist who discovered it says the gonads look like “skyscrapers in a downtown business district.” She named the jellyfish Csiromedusa medeopolis. It means “city of gonads.”

We want to be a zoologist when we grow up, so we can give jellyfish dirty names too.
