Some people will look at this picture and not think twice. Obama critics, however, will jump all over it. They will say. Look at that! See! He’s already given up on America! He’s reading books about how the US is collapsing! 

I’ve read that book. Its a great book. It’s called The Post American World by Fareed Zakaria and it’s not about the collapse of the United States. Its about the US being the strongest economy and military but the rest of the world is soon catching up. And we need to be ready for that. It explains ways that we can adapt to other large economies existing in the same world as us. We need to prepare for the day when there are countries with economies as large or larger as ours. We need to stay relevant. 

The book explains how other countries have great school systems for teaching their kids math and science. However, they lack in teaching their students how to think. The US is still one of the best places to teach people how to think out of the box. China is really lacking that right now. They only know how to duplicate what others invent. 

The future is not something to fear. It’s something to adapt to. I’m proud that we have a President who’s reading The Post American World and not something like The Secret…
