"The Obamas"

"Daily Show" host Jon Stewart commented on the very controversial book "The Obamas" by Jodi Kantor. There has been much controversy over the accuracy of the things mentioned in the book. Having no interviews with the Obamas' themselves, people are skeptical when reading the book.

Jon Stewart, having recently read the book, comments on his show saying that "I'm surprised at the controversy because the book seems to portray Michelle Obama as a complex yet human individual struggling with this unbelievable situation yet remaining the moral compass and center of an administration trying to find its footing."

Again, due to the convoluted ways of the media, they have, once again, twisted the book into an un-needed controversy about the relationship between husband and wife, as well as husband, wife, and aides.

My question to you is would you read this book? If so, would you find it credible in it's claims?

Here is a video I came across while I was sick this weekend catching up on the Daily Show. As an AP Statistics and Government student, I have been warned twice as much to avoid biased statistics and to be skeptical of the sources. This video I'm sure you will find very interesting in this regard. This is just another reason to be skeptical of what you view on television.
