Obama picture reading Post American World

I was forwarded this picture and description and had to check it out as so often the descriptions are not accurate.   However, as I have now learned Snopes is very biased towards supporting Obama so when you read Snopes you can't stop there as you are going to get something like a main stream media explanation of Van Jones.   So I just went to Amazon to see the book description and while Snopes was partially right they white washed what it was about.  It appears to me Obama was planning on how to accelerate the decline of America in elevating the world.   The captions below the picture are not accurate regarding the authors religion other than that this is all accurate.

Book Description
"This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." So begins Fareed Zakaria's important new work on the era we are now entering. Following on the success of his best-selling The Future of Freedom, Zakaria describes with equal prescience a world in which the United States will no longer dominate the global economy, orchestrate geopolitics, or overwhelm cultures. He sees the "rise of the rest"—the growth of countries like China, India, Brazil, Russia, and many others—as the great story of our time, and one that will reshape the world. The tallest buildings, biggest dams, largest-selling movies, and most advanced cell phones are all being built outside the United States. This economic growth is producing political confidence, national pride, and potentially international problems. How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? Zakaria answers these questions with his customary lucidity, insight, and imagination.

Obama has only been to church twice since becoming President so you won't likely see him with a bible any more.  Instead he is reading the book "The Post-American World," written by a fellow Muslim.
