I have to say though, I have read all three won Grammys.

Jimmy Carter became the second former U.S. president to win a Grammy Award when he was honored in the spoken-word category for the audio-book version of his bestseller "Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis."

Former President Bill Clinton won spoken-word Grammys in 2004 and 2005, as did his wife, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in 1997 while she was still first lady.

Barack Obama won a Grammy for the audio-book version of his book "Dreams From My Father."
