Supermax prison: Obama's books objectionable

FLORENCE, COLO. —The federal government's most secure prison has determined two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."

But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security.

A prison spokeswoman referred questions to the FBI.

There you go...Obama's own FBI considers certain things Obama has written to be "potentially detrimental to national security" and in the light of this the SuperMax facility in Florence has stopped an al-Qaida member from reading it. How do the 60+ million people who voted for Obama feel about their candidate and his writings? Most never read him, most probably don't care because he is a celebrity "rock star". Sad.
