As much as we dislike certain textbooks and the textbook companies, they should be given credit for this...

I can vouch for this. A few months ago I received a government textbook which had Obama in it, as well as Philadelphia's new Mayor, Michael Nutter.
That is very good news. It is hard to find books that have what you want or everything that should be in them. That is a good step for textbooks. I think that they would be criticized greatly if they didn't put it in textbooks pretty quick.
