Answer #1
The picture you question may be the one with President Obama looking at the camera, book in left hand, ploice car in the background. Snopes says the picture is real, but the headline accompanying most of the posted versions is "inaccurately described.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/postamerican.asp
At the authors website the book is described as beginning with "This is not a book about the decline of America, but rather about the rise of everyone else." http://www.fareedzakaria.com/books/index.html
You can read about the author here: http://www.fareedzakaria.com/about.html and perhaps form your on opinion about his credentials and how his book fits the major proposition attached to the many variations of this photo around the Web; namely that reading the book places the president in league with terrorists and proves that he is a Muslim..
