The above quote was the first thing that came to mind.

Reading this post, I found myself anticipating a punchline. Surely this was something from 'The Onion" or some other satirical source....

Japanese learns English from Obama speech textbook

TOKYO (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama's speeches are proving a best-seller in Japan -- as an aid to learning English.

An English-language textbook, "The Speeches of Barack Obama," has sold more than 400,000 copies in two months, a big hit in a country where few hit novels sell more than a million copies a year.

Japanese have a fervor for learning English and many bookstores have a corner dedicated to dozens of journals in the language, many of them now featuring the new U.S. leader's face.

"Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates are excellent as listening tools to learn English, because their contents are good and their words are easy to catch," said Yuzo Yamamoto of Asahi Press, which produced the best-selling text book.

"Obama's is especially so. His speeches are so moving, and he also uses words such as 'yes, we can,' 'change' and 'hope' that even Japanese people can memorize," he said...

This all must be a bad dream, and I hope I wake up and it is all a lie!

Maybe they should market them as a four pack along with "Mao's Little Red Book", Owlgore's Global Warming scambook and DVD, and Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". The good side is, since America is fast becoming an illiterate nation of drones, maybe other countries will catch on quicker to the scams and put the brakes on the New World Order...we can only "hope".
