that Obama wouldn't have included the novel Headshot by Rita Bullwinkel in his 2024 Summer Reading List?

the intern is actually 22 and Obama's the kind of shitbag who thinks that fact makes his deceptive statement morally acceptable. also the song being on the iPad doesn't mean that he listened to it, or that it wasn't placed there after the intern gave him the list

I seriously doubt he reads any of this shit.

He really doesn’t strike me as a neolib true believer, I’m almost certain he spends his time reading marxist theory so he knows exactly how to be the biggest lib possible.

The Ministry of Time is actually a pretty light fun fiction read about time travel and British spies and such.

Obama's real reading list has J. Sakai's Settlers on it, someone must have edited your version

Was Hillbilly Elegy ever on one of his reading lists?
