Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:34pm on Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 | On December 15, 2008, the Politico web site reported that The New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick is writing a book about Barack Obama:
"New Yorker editor David Remnick has recently begun writing a book focusing on Barack Obama, race and politics in America.
Remnick confirmed to Politico that he’s started a book, but did not reveal details of when it might be completed, or published. It's believed to be in the formative stages.
“The germ of the book is a piece I wrote and the magazine published called ‘The Joshua Generation,’ which ran just after Obama’s election,” Remnick said, through a spokesperson.
That 13,000-word piece looked at race and politics in America, and the significance of Obama's election victory in terms of being the first black president and beneficiary of the civil rights struggles of the past. In the piece, Remnick spoke with both members of Obama’s inner circle and leaders of the civil rights movement.
A former Washington Post reporter, Remnick is more prolific than most editors, at times penning lengthy pieces for the magazine—his Sept. 2006 profile of Bill Clinton, for instance, clocked in at over 20,000 words. And Remnick has several books to his credit, including two on Russia. "Lenin’s Tomb," his book on the fall of the Soviet Union, won the Pulitzer and Polk awards."

I just wanted to comment that I am supporting Obama and it appears that even when the press or the Republicans jest or make stabs at Obama, it makes little difference. From what I hear and see Obama seems to handle and deal with criticism very well, he always comes through looking together and rational.
