When in office Nobama awarded Pearson Publishing a $350 million contract to develop the common core curriculum. When he left office Penguin Random House, a subsidiary of Pearson Publishing, gave Nobama the $65 million book deal. Now $ 350 million doesn’t sound like much but 41 states and DC at the time adopted some or all of common core and since Pearson Publishing developed the standards for the program the schools and education departments in those 41 states had to buy their common core books from Pearson Publishing or one of its subsidiaries. Plus government even had incentives to pay those that adopted common core. The $65 million quid pro quo paid to Nobama was peanuts compared to how much return Pearson Publishing made on the $350 million used to develop the common core curriculum, even though eventually most states that adopted some or all of it got rid of it. The money was spent.

Quid Pro O
Following the math here the suggestion is that O’Kenyan’s 65 mill kickback might have come from the 350 mill$ common core scam? But, but but that’s way more than 10%. Mumbles is a real low baller if he works for just 10%.
