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).

They are no longer sucking off the government dime . . . it’s back to chitlins.
And their books will end up where her cafeteria food menu did...
Will we find out what name Obama used in school and how much foreign aid he received ?

Hey if they want to throw good money at bad (selling) books let’em have at it:-)
Goaan be expensive for the 10 folks who buy the book.
What’s Ayer’s cut, since we know neither Dorkbama the Muslm eunuch or Mooooooooch-elle can write?
“Who would give 5 cents for this. Unless he provides his real BC and school transcripts its worthless.”
Public school systems will buy them and force the kids to read it a prepare a book report on it. Hell, Jerry Brown will ues taxpayer money buy a trainload of the Spanish language version of the books.
Memories of the Jim Wright tome come to mind.
You got something there. These outrageous book deals seem ridiculous. How much money can a book generate?
Especially a book from and about these two frauds.
Unless it is a tell all!! Barry’s hidden past. Mikes real gender. The rented kids! His deep state sponsors! Juicy stuff!!!!
I hope the sales are really bad.
Good point!! Laundered through Iran.
So now he’s a capitalist.
Spit.
I heard Rush saying that Random House didn’t know how to split the $60M between the two of them, because they’re not sure whose book will sell “better”. I think the more accurate word here is whose will sell “worse”. It’ll be a horserace to the bottom, I predict. HAhahaha!
Yes, but why? I think this is Murdoch trying to fund Obama...but for what?
Wookie's: "Angry, ugly and tired: You try scowling for eight straight years"
Let’s assume his book will be roughly 300 pages, with a ghost writer. Let’s have a contest to see who can predict the number of times Obama lists “I” or “me” or “my.”
I’m guessing nothing less than 30 times per page, so we’re looking at over 9000 times.
Some 65 million-ish people voted for Hillary in 2016.
I don’t believe 1/2 of those are going to purchase their books and less than half of that pool of potential customers are not literate.
There will be some awfully big bulk purchases made.
If we count the singular first possessive personal pronoun “mine”, total number of times first person pronoun is used will top 11,000 times easily.
Only the hopelessly mentally ill will buy these books. It is simply a shift of $60,000,000.00 to the worthless criminals. It doesn’t matter if even one book is sold.
Obama is going to have to live up to the reputation of the superior writer that the MSM has crowned him with. Now all eyes will be on him and he won't be able to sluff off the biggest writing assignment of his life to another ghost write.
This new book will have to be well written, detailed, fully packed and accurate. No make believe girlfriends on this go round.
