"Senator Obama thinks the public should have confidence that their elected officials are solely focused on representing their interests in Congress. In light of recent abuses of the congressional gift rule by a few members of Congress and the lobbying community, Senator Obama wants to lead by example. Instituting a clear cut, no-gift policy should eliminated any appearance of an individual or organization attempting to influence him or his staff through any means other than the power of their policy arguments."
Is that not cool? And my letter/policy argument is somewhere in his office.
P-doobie was momentarily bummed about the books.

I'm sure your argument is compelling enough without the supporting documentation to get him working on the problem.
Try again when he's not a Senator anymore! Maybe there's different rules for Presidents! ;)
Izzy is right, what is hegoing to have in his Presidential Library if he does not start accepting gifts.
We are looking forward to visiting the Obama Presidential Library in about 15 years!
His loss.
It wasn't as if it were a fur coat or something.
I'm sure he appreciated the gesture. I'll bet they took down the names of the books. And maybe you'll get an order from someone from Chicago, or from someone inside the Beltway, someday...
