NEW YORK - Michelle Obama's brother is working on a book, part tribute to his family and part inspirational guide. "I've been privileged to know some extraordinary people in my life," Craig Robinson, whose "A Game of Character" will be published next year by Gotham Books, said in a statement issued Thursday. "I've watched as my sister Michelle, a rock of a mother, became a leader in her own right. My brother-in law, President Barack Obama, who I knew from the first time I met him had something special, continues to inspire all of us."

Cashin’ in. ;)
to say the least!
here’s an excerpt:
“When I met Barak, Michelle told me was an intelligent man. I believed my sister and I asked him some questions:
Me: Barry, how many states are there in America?
Barry: 57
Me: Barry, my sister claims you were born in Hawaii, That’s a lovely place
Barry: Well, don’t tell anyone but I was actually born in Indonesia. Right now, I’m trying to make a fake birth certificate so I could be a politician in Chicago. Would you like some cocaine?”
Let me guess: the book will be published in 2011, just in time for the next Presidential election, along with a dozen other odes to Zero.
I bet this one will be less than 5 pages (icluding foreward, preface, index) if you take out the platitudes.
Exactly.
I’ve been privileged to know some extraordinary people in my life too, but none of them are Chicago thugs.
That is the funniest post I’ve seen today. ROTFLMAO
Or, “gettin’ paid” (in the vernacular).
I wish I had a famous (or infamous) relative. Damn straight I'd be writin' me book.

Whats the title going to be?
MY BABY SISTER
By King Kong
His wife’s brother.
Where are Barry’s friends? No High School buds, college friends, friends from the organizin’ days? No relatives that appear with him?
This is just weird.
