I'll not trouble you with the rest of the vitriol, the OP was about renaming childrens books in the Obama era.
When I read this post I couldn't stop laughing.
I read 2 books in my life.
One that fits Obama regime very well.
"Animal Farm"
read it in government class in HS.
For those who never heard of it, it was how communists (or the barnyard dogs) kept everyone in order. Animals (donkey, horse, chicken, etc) had a nice farm until the communists got control and destroyed everything, put animals in jail and on and on.
Two whole books. Man you outdid you're self.

It was an attack on Marxist-Leninism, but Or'well was a socialist and found for the anarchists in Spain. If the guy was smart he would have realized that Orwell potrayed Trotsky (Snowball) rather sympathetically.

They see no difference between Communists, Socialists, Nazis, Democrats; all the same to them.
And we share a country with them?
