About those anti-Obama books

The WSJ reports that several are "best sellers." I agree with this response:
Steve Ross, who originally published Obama’s best-selling memoirs “Dreams From My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope,” told the AP that he was doubtful anti-Obama book sales would surpass the senator’s own.

“The anti-Obama readership is largely one that has already made up its mind and is looking for validation, while the Obama readership comprises both those who have already made up their minds and those who are curious about him,” Ross said.
Exactly. These people are not looking for truth, they are looking for confirmation of their distorted worldview.
