Conservative bloggers have their knickers in a twist over books spotted on the White House‘s library shelves, “because a blogger from sayanything.com snapped a photo of some old reference books about socialism in the White House Library, which the tour guide said was stocked by Michelle Obama,” according to this report on New York Magazine’s blog, the Daily Intel.

“Surely this means that every time President Obama is in the midst of important policy deliberations, he goes into the library, dusts off The American Socialist Movement, 1897-1912, and uses it to help him figure out what the most socialist policy would be,” opines Daily Intel.

But there’s more! According to the DI, the library includes “The Autobiography of Malcolm X! Oh my God! The Obamas are socialists and militant black nationalists… Oh, wait a second…  that photo was taken on December 18. 2008, before the Obamas moved into the White House. So, George W. Bush was a militant black nationalist? We’re confused now….”

They’ve got a point. Libraries can be confusing places—what with all those dern ideas and books and things.
