The agent, Jane Dystel, is the daughter of publisher Oscar Dystel (Bantam Books), a longtime Dem Party contributor. Don’t know if her Dem roots had anything to do with her decision to publish Obama, but it seems possible.
“Here's another excerpt from the NYIMES piece:
“When his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention sent his memoir soaring out of obscurity and straight onto the best-seller list, he untethered himself from his longtime literary agent in favor of Robert B. Barnett, the Washington lawyer who had gotten Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton an $8 million book advance and then landed Mr. Obama a $1.9 million, three-book deal.”
Er um... “untethered himself from his longtime literary agent”... ?!?!?
THIS IS SO OFF THE MARK IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A LIE.
OBAMA SUMMARILY BROKE THE CONTRACT HE HAD WITH HIS AGENT JANE DYSTEL WHO PUT HIM ON THE MAP WHEN HE WAS A NOBODY.
HE DID THIS AS SOON AS A BIGGER AGENT CAME ALONG - RIGHT AFTER HIS KERRY CONVENTION SPEECH.
OBAMA AND HIS 1st AGENT SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
BUT THIS EPISODE REVEALS A PATTERN WHICH WE HAVE SINCE SEEN OVER AND POVER AGAIN:
Obama ditches friends as soon as it becomes advantageous to move on.
His mother. His agent. His pastor. Et al.
Obama is a low-life ingrate who doesn't know the meaning of the word LOYALTY.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.”
