Barack And Michelle Obama Ink Historic Publishing Deal With Penguin Random House

[Lakhota]

The book deal reportedly broke a record for presidential memoirs.

Penguin Random House will publish forthcoming books by Barack and Michelle Obama, the publisher announced Tuesday. The former president and first lady will publish separate books, but jointly sold the rights.

The auction to secure the publishing deal for the two books topped $60 million. The figure is a record-breaking total for presidential memoirs, the Financial Times reported. The rights to Bill Clinton’s 2004 autobiography, “My Life,” netted $15 million; George W. Bush’s 2010 “Decision Points” scored an estimated $10 million.

Hopefully, they will buy Kenya and move back to his birth country as the new despot. ...... ...

And they would deserve that kind of charity, honestly it would have to be charity they could never earn it, for doing what exactly?

 

[whitehall]

There is a theory among people who analyze these things that Obama didn't write the alleged autobio "Dreams of my Father". It may have been ghost written by friend and former co-worker and former terrorist professor Bill Ayers but the media wasn't interested in the theory (maybe they were afraid of it) at the time. You gotta wonder why the sequel of a book that ended up in the bargain bin promotes a historic publishing deal. Maybe there are deals we aren't aware of.

Yeah, and let's see how much money they cough up
or time they invest, to help their own race.

Nobody is going to read that shit. Obama will most likely fade into oblivion.

The black race, African-Americans, both him and Michelle,
and their daughters, had an opportunity to become mentors
within the black community, more so, the inner city...
