Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle have agreed a book deal with Penguin Random House. "The company has acquired world publication rights for two books, to be written by President and Mrs Obama respectively," the publisher said. Titles and other details have not been disclosed but the deal is believed to be worth over $60m (£48m).

How much does the real author(s) get???

[Slyfox]

Half of Barry’s royalties will go to Bill Ayers.

[Cowboy Bob]

Just a money laundering scheme...

[nikos1121]

Will probably be as popular as Hillary’s and Kelly Megyn’s.

Who would give 5 cents for this. Unless he provides his real BC and school transcripts it’s worthless.

[I want the USA back]

They destroy this country and then get paid to talk about it.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

If they really cared about the environment they would meet us halfway. We will concede to their phony sales numbers if they don’t print them and fill up discount racks and landfill space.

Yet ANOTHER autobiography by Bath-house Barry?

What's he going to call it this time? "My Struggle"?

[Secret Agent Man]

Yup. Sure hope the bookmakers get that money back if the books don’t sell. Maybe these will be the only books in obamas library....

[USMCPOP]

From the White House to Random House...

I wonder about the titles. “How a community organizer scammed the world”. “How the worthless increase their net worth.” Etc.

[Berosus]

I will look forward to the day when those books are on a table in a Dollar Tree store, because they won’t sell anywhere else.

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

I’m guessing Iran already has pre-purchased about $50 million of these books.

Laundered our tax dollars through our enemies.

Who is the ghost writer?

[Gay State Conservative]

OK...what's the over/under on how many autobiographies these two will have written on the day they descended to their eternal damnation?

[sarasota]

Sure wish we had a ban on obama news.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Don't say nothing about my advance. Its hard writing a book!

[NautiNurse]

A tidy sum to keep Moochelle supplied with wagyu beef and lobster.

[ptsal]

Required reading in Berkeley and Madison.

[kaehurowing]

The payoffs begin.

[drewh]
