The Obama Diaries
On May 20, 2010, Laura Ingraham received a package from an anonymous source that will change the history of the United States and the legacy of President Barack Obama. While retrieving her automobile from the underground garage at the Watergate complex (where she had just enjoyed her weekly pedicure), Ingraham discovered a manila envelope on the hood of her car. When she picked it up, a deep baritone voice called out from a nearby stairwell: "Just read it. You’ll know what to do." The shadowy figure then disappeared into the darkness without another word.
The envelope contained copies of what appeared to be diary entries written by President Barack Obama, his family, and high-ranking administration officials. Because the "diaries" are so revealing, Ingraham felt compelled to release them to the American public and the citizens of the world.
Major media outlets love to describe the president as "no drama Obama," but The Obama Diaries tells a different tale. Through these "diary entries," readers will see past the carefully constructed Obama façade to the administration’s true plans to "remake America."
In The Obama Diaries, Ingraham hilariously skewers the president and his minions. She takes aim at:
•the cynical "razzle-dazzle" marketing of Obama’s radical agenda
•the use of the Obama "brand" and family to obscure Obama’s true aims
•Michelle Obama’s gardening and anti-obesity initiative; and much more.
Informative and hugely entertaining, The Obama Diaries will inspire both laughter and critical thinking about the future of the nation and the man currently at the helm.

Like a lot of other people I could only get through about a third of this book. I thought it'd be a satire, but the entries are sparse and not even remotely funny, spliced in between her poorly written thoughts filled with a whole lot of hate. Glad I didn't waste my money on this one, and my only consolation is that by keeping it checked out for two weeks from the library, it in turn kept it from someone who might actually like this drivel. What a waste of paper and ink. And remember Miss Ingraham, you and your lovely books will be forgotten in a year or less. President Obama will go down in history, regardless of what anyone thinks of him. Have fun swallowing that little pill.

Let me preface by saying I had no problem with Obama. That said, I firmly believe everyone has a right to their own opinion. But this author has such hatred for Obama that it is embarrasing. This book is written with such flippant off the cuff rhetoric that she makes this book seem like a fairy tale....make believe...phony. Whether its true or not is irrelevant since she is so caustic in her presentation. I listened to this book via an audio book. The author also is the narrator. She comes across as condescending as a born again christian, as bitter as a week old lemon, and as sarcastic as the drunk uncle you don't want at your Thanksgiving dinner table. What I found most offensive is the dialogue she slips into while reading. Supposedly she is reading pages of diaries from Michelle, Barack, Biden, and Marian Robinson (michele's mother)....so she has not idea what their voices would sound like....but she proceeds to slip into a stereotype vernacular. Very insulting. Anyway, I do NOT recommend this book for anyone wanting a serious read concerning the Obama administration, or the family. This book just came across as a excuse for the author to vent her hatred. Oh, and I tried my hardest to follow through and finish the book, but I just couldn't. I made it through to the third CD of the audio (11 cd's total) and I had to give up.

Not a great book. The premise is that Laura Ingraham has the personal diaries of the Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and several other figures within the administration. In these diaries, they communicate their true motivation and intent.
Unfortunately, it is neither funny nor enlightening. The projections of personality offer very little information considering the intended audience and the comedy falls flat.

If you don't like Laura Ingraham or her politics, you are probably not going to want to read this book. However...if you are going to read Game Change, or any books that are authored by apologists for Obama and/or proponents of the liberal agenda, then you should be informed about the total picture of what is happening in our country and read the opinion, and facts, presented here by Ingraham.

Incredibly mediocre...this book had the chance to be really satirical and funny, yet fell short with the same stuff..different day. I found myself getting incredibly bored with it and probably wouldn't have finished it unless I was the person who asked my library to order it! 2.5/5 stars (and even then, I am being generous)

I read about 100 pages of this disaster before giving up, making this only the second book I rated without reading all of it. (Twilight was the other book). I picked this up because I was told it was satire and I love satire of all political persuasion. I also knew Ms. Ingraham, if anyone, had the intelligence and writing skills to make this work. Was I wrong! Unfortunately the fictional diary entries are only about a quarter of the book. The rest of it are Ingraham's comments in which she justifies the diary entry with her "facts" which are either quotes out of context or partial reports of incidents presented through Ingraham's very biased interpretations.
Bottom line is Laura hates the Obamas too much to write a decent satire. A good satirist lets the satire speak for itself and good satire is absurdity based on reality. Sorry, no reality here, just a lot of hate.

If it weren't for the intro, I wouldn't be convinced that it was satire because a lot of the journal entries in this book could very well be passed off as complete truth. Though, the descriptions and points ("facts" as it were) Ingraham makes are based largely in fact which she so eloquently walks us through make this book eligible to be classified as "non-fiction".
I can't say I was horribly amused with this book beyond about 100 pages. The journal entries were quite entertaining and they really broke apart the endless description of what Obama has done wrong in his tenure as President... but I think I've had enough of political books for now because they really make me frustrated. In this book, I was frustrated because it brought up all the things about the current administration that I don't like. Even though I agree with the author on many points, reading this book was like rubbing salt in an open wound...
As far as satire goes, it was handily done. The tone and context was adjusted for each journal entry... and it was amusing to read... but after a while it just got too frustrating. I could only read about 20-pages at a time before I became too vexed to continue.

If you had access to the private writings and intimate journals of the highest ranking members of the Barack Obama administration, what would that look like? Thanks to Laura Ingraham, now we know. Sort of. About half of this book is fiction, make-believe, entirely made up thoughts as if they came from the mind of Obama, his wife, his vice-president, his chief of staff and other members of his cabinet and Congress. This is an inside-the-mind expose of what liberal thinking might look like, at least inside-the-mind of the Queen of Snarkiness, Laura Ingraham.
If it weren’t for the fictional “diaries” sprinkled liberally through all ten of Ingraham’s chapters, this would be just another political book from one who is said to be the most listened to woman in political talk radio. As it is, the snarky diaries included here are pure satire, extremely cleverly written comedy and are thoroughly entertaining, even to the most progressive liberal audience.
For those who care about America and the direction it’s currently headed, Ingraham’s final chapter should be the most potent. Here she lists some paths that conservatives should avoid, most notably flat out acceptance of Obama Care, acceptance of America’s inevitable decline and acceptance of the rise and future dominance of China. The attitude of despair, bipartisanship as a way of accomplishing conservative goals and political pandering to specific groups are three more blind alleys Ingraham warns American patriots to stay away from.
Here again is yet another book released by a major conservative voice prior to major elections in an apparent effort to influence the outcome. The fact that the results of those elections never seem to go the direction the author hopefully intended leads one to believe that nobody pays serious attention to these political diaries, fiction or otherwise.

October 3, 2010Can I give this a zero-star rating without having read all (or much) of it? Not even I could be so masochistic! I was interested in checking it out (literally; it's a library copy) only because of the complaints about its classification as nonfiction. Its Library of Congress number actually puts it on the same shelf as the other, genuine, works on and by Obama. The "diaries" themselves are, of course, fiction (especially if you define fiction as "made-up crap"). But since the bulk of the book is Ingraham's rambling rant, which could conceivably be read as satirical editorializing or polemic, it is "nonfiction." I should say here that my distaste for this book isn't just out of political prejudice; I'd be happy to read P.J. O'Rourke trashing the Democrats and their leader. O'Rourke's writing is always smart and funny, Ingraham's the exact opposite. It's the sort of hypocritical stuff you can hear any day from a Fox News opinionator: "The fight for freedom never ends; it just changes form. In the Revolutionary War, our citizens took up muskets against the British. In the civil rights struggle, Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus." And so on. As if Laura Ingraham, if she'd been writing in 1955 instead of 2010, wouldn't have attacked the civil rights agitators every bit as contemptuously as she goes after Obama now...
July 24, 2010
As is usual with L.Ingram's books, it is an easy read. The preface leaves one wondering where the "diaries" came from and if they are authentic...written by the purported people. If they are...OMG..what egos! How are the White House walls still standing?
October 5, 2023
I started the book with high hopes, then she went all out there, and you wonder if anything in it is true. Feels like a character assasination. Not an OBAMA fan, but shame on you Laura. I don't recommend you waste your money on it, another smear campaign in the world of ugly dirty polictics.
September 9, 2015
After about 10% of this book, I put it back on the shelf. I decided to read this as a recent interest learning more about the Obamas. This book is an attempt at satire, but I didn't find it funny, didn't find it insightful, and most of all, it wasn't interesting.

One of the worst books I've ever read. Will not recommend it.
November 15, 2010
You have to wonder about the audience for books of this sort and those who would go reading reviews on Amazon regarding it. Now, that's not intended as a slight regarding either side of the political spectrum, folks ... it's just an honest reflection on the 'state of affairs' when it comes to considering political persuasive books.
In short, I don't believe you're seriously going to consider buying this book if you're an Obama supporter, and that's a shame. Personally, I found THE OBAMA DIARIES to be quite funny, as others have reported fairly in the reviews. Humor is difficult, and, of course, it varies from reader to reader, but what Ms. Ingraham is doing here is predictably mocking the media presentation of these figures. Politicians -- especially those in presidential administrations -- tend to get caricatured (sp?) by their respective media enemies, and that's what DIARIES does very well. Obama looks at himself as larger than life, more influential that God, as that's largely how he's been portrayed by his media supporters and cronies. Michelle comes across as sometimes disinterested in her role but not disinterested in how persuasive and inspiring she's see herself, and that may not be all that far from the mark depending upon which stories you read about her. Rahm Emanual (sp?) gets some scathing laughs by outlandishly swearing every third or fourth word, and, for those of you inclined to chuckle at an inappropriate swear word or two, then you're in for some pleasant moments. And Joe Biden undermines his own case as an effective human being by displaying the clueless swagger he's portrayed for over three decades. Again, that's not intended as a political barb; it's simply a statement of fact (even Obama has said, "That's just Joe being Joe"), and, in the situations presented here, Ingraham captures the folly of celebrity government at its most inept.
However, Ms. Ingraham counters the majority of these diary entries with her own analysis, and therein lies some of the drawbacks to the book. If you're a fan of hers, then you're bound to appreciate what she offers. Very little will come as a surprise. The book gets inappropriately titled THE OBAMA DIARIES and not all of these "diaries" (fictional that they are) belong to Obama. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, this is a compilation work with diary entries from many folks in the administration. So, yeah, I was a tad disappointed because I perhaps didn't get as many laughs at one politician or political figure, but I was pleasantly surprised, by the most part, with the many points of view covered. The weakest attempts here, so far as I'm concerned, involved Michelle's mother, who came to the White House to essentially serve as "First Nanny." While some of the observations the nanny's observations are humorous, I found them to be mostly unimportant because she isn't a national figure, I don't have any real association to her, and the other characters of Obama, Michelle, Biden, and Rahm (and others) were just far more interesting.
Ms. Ingraham's analysis has some highs and lows, as well, but, like I said, I don't think you're going to pick this book up and give it a read (though I challenge you to) if conservatism isn't your cup of tea. Mostly, I drew more lessons from her parody than I did her overall text -- a bit of a departure from her earlier works -- but, as a creative stretch, I think Laura could have a gig as a comedy writer should she find the right material. She handles a variety of situations with great mirth, and I'd gladly pick up another read from her in the future.
But seriously, folks ... enjoy the humor here. That's clearly what I believe the author wanted you to take away from the book. You may not learn as many life lessons as you'd hope for, but you'll come away more entertained than enlightened ... and that's never a bad thing.

This book is tough for me to review. I don't normally like reading political books, per se. I read this book because supposedly there was a lot of satire, sarcasm and humor injected into it which I can never pass up. And frankly, it didn't disappoint in that area - but it was a pointed humor that isn't going to be appreciated by all.
Here's the real deal. This is a conservative, anti-Obama book, so if you know this isn't your kinda gig, then don't go out to the dance and save yourself the money. It's interesting, there was a lot discussed in it that I had really never put more than a minute's thought into. Frankly, about one-third of the way through I stopped reading the "diary" parts and just read the actual contents. The diaries were of course not real, which I knew from the get go, and honestly some of them were down right hysterical. However, after reading so many of them and seeing that realistically they didn't offer more than just humorous digs, I started skipping them, opting to read about the things that were actually backed up.
It's funny, it's for conservatives or for those wondering why conservatives don't like Obama. It is entertaining. Of course, these opinions will not be the same from someone who doesn't like Laura Ingraham or has different political views.

Like many of the books on our current president, Ingraham spends a ton of time going over many of the views, actions, and general philosophies of Barrack Obama. As usual, if you have been paying attention, there really isn't much new here in terms of documentation of President Obama's past, present and probable future. However, Laura Ingraham does what nobody else (that I have read so far) does...she actually provides some in-depth analysis of why the President believes what he believes and does what he does. I think I understand President Obama much better than I did in the past. The book also contains sprinkles of comic relief with some fake diary entries from the White House. Some of these are absolutely hilarious, but also do a great job of getting Ingraham's point across. Highly recommended for anyone who does not quite understand what is going through the mind of our President.

Laura Ingraham is hilarious in this book!
The diary entries are of course fictional, but her analysis of the policies and ideology that drives Barack Obama and his entourage are spot-on.
While everyone with any common sense can see Obama's blatant narcissism, it's her satirical portrayal of Michelle Obama and Joe Biden that had me laughing out loud. What a great read!
I caution the reader: take the diary entries as tongue-in-cheek, but read her analysis and comments carefully, and with an open mind.
Favorite quote from the book?
"Where we end up as a nation depends on whether the American people are willing to continue the battle for liberty. It is not written on some tablet somewhere that America will last forever—she will only endure so long as we are committed to protecting our founding principles."
(Obviously NOT uttered by President Obama...)

I'm not much on satire, but I like Laura Ingraham. I listened to the audiobook an I usually like audiobooks that are read by the author.
The common sense principals discussed here are not new, but I like her calm attitude about it all. She acknowledges that while we all feel outraged at the fact that our "leader" is defiling the office of the President of the United States, we can be confident that if we hold fast to our values and the principals we believe and expect our leaders to do the same, we will not be stripped of our liberty that we hold so dear.
A good fortifying read. Although I skipped some of the diaries to save time, I especially enjoyed the one where Michelle Obama goes into her daughter's room and finds them playing RISK. She teaches them to make every country diverse and the bigger countries have to "share" with the smaller ones. Hilarious!

There has been debate about whether this book is true or not and of course the liberals don't like it. But she says in the back "What you do with the insights in this true AND fictional account of the historical presidency of Barack Obama is up to you". It was immediately apparent to me that her opinions and quotes in her comments were the real thing, while the "diaries" of the different people were satire. She brings out a lot of the things that the far left believe, have done, are doing and all the things that need to be brought up when it's election time. A very good book and it gets better the farther you get into it. (like the money it costs taxpayers for his and the family trips that they don't think twice about taking)

I was fortunate to get the audio version, so it has the nasal-shouting voice of Laura Ingraham coming in loud and clear ('cept for her nasal overtones) along with several of her friends who provide voices of those included in the book.
Hearing it makes it come alive especially when the cut is to Joe Biden or "the First Grandmother" -
I was especially grateful for the insights that were provided about how elitist is this current administration and the change that we've been given won't buy a cup of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts.
Some of the things I learned invoked my agitated button...

The concept of this book is that Laura has written fictional satirical diary entries from Obama and those around him, that tie in with events surrounding the presidency and point out the hypocrisy of the administration. Following each diary entry is the facts supporting the "fictional" entry. This just didn't work for me.. a couple were humorous, but overall, just way too overdone and tends to make light of serious issues.. I did like the supporting parts, just not the diary entries.
August 6, 2017
It took me a while to read this book. I found it at the library. Ingraham has a sharp wit and strong understanding of the issues. Her satire truly made me laugh throughout the book. More importantly her perspective is that of a true Conservative. She got it right on the total disaster that was the Obama administration and the way it hurt America. This book should be required reading for all those running for any GOP nomination. Loved it!!!

I bought this book for twenty five cents, and I am sorry I wasted a whole quarter of it. I was on this mission to buy a book about all the presidents, and this one was cheap so I got it. It was boring. I doubt very seriously that these diary entries are authentic. All I got from this book is Laura's hatred for the Obama administration. I'm not a fan of the Obama Administration personally, but this was read like a toddler fit to me. I didn't like this book at all.
October 26, 2010
Laura Ingraham rehashes all of the bad stuff perpetrated by Obama and his administration/cohorts. These events are broken up by satirical journal entries by Obama and his wife.
I did not finish this book, but it is due and I have already heard/read about the events. Not enough people seem to care because Obama is such a great guy and good basketball player--not to mention all around great guy.

Didn't bother with the "diary" entries - I have a suspicion they were written to stitch the book together and give it a marketable theme. The book is basically boilerplate stuff; only once did I read something I hadn't previously thought or said. Not great, not terrible, just an average book in the series.
