Taking place in Denver on August 25th, Hip Hop star Kanye West is also said to be confirmed along with famed group The Black Eyed Peas. In related news, with only a few months until the official election, Barack Obama is slated to release his third book under Crown Publishing Group. With the new book, Obama takes his campaign slogan to print with the title "Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise." Covering the presidential elect's stance on health care, energy and national security, "Change We Can Believe In" provides a hard look at his policies and the groundwork he intends to lay if elected. "We are proud to have published two best-selling books by Barack Obama and are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to work with his campaign on such an important and inspiring book at this critical moment in our country," Crown Publishing Group president Jenny Frost said. Obama previously authored two best-selling books, "The Audacity of Hope" (2008) and "Dreams from My Father"(2004).
