Book: The Obama Diaries - Fictional diary entries?

A new book came out on July 13 called The Obama Diaries by Laura Ingraham. It is said that the creation of this book ...

"On May 20, 2010, Laura Ingraham received a package from an anonymous source;"
"While retrieving her automobile from the underground garage at the Watergate complex, Ingraham discovered a manila envelope on the hood of her car.;"
"The envelope contained copies of what appeared to be diary entries written by President Barack Obama, his family, and high-ranking administration officials."

Laura Ingraham is a former Supreme Court law clerk and white-collar criminal defense litigator, she lives in the Washington, D.C., area with her two children.

- Is the source reliable? Information came from nowhere? Source is found on the hood of her car? (You must be kidding)
- What is the reaction of the Obama administration and his family?
- Is this book simply another political opinion/talk?
- Has the author been biased and subjective?

I have no answers for my questions. But I am sure that the author certainly receives a large amount of royalties by using the President's name in her title. Well it is a capitalism society. If she has a chance to make money from a public figure, then why doesn’t she?

Joe Strupp, New York Times Book Editor siad, ""[this book] contains fictional diary entries purportedly written by President Obama and members of his administration." - Fictional diary entries?? That's very interesting.

Oh!... by the way, today is our President's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mr. President!
