Lucrative Book Deals Might Finance the Obamas’ Post-White House Life

White House Letter

By GARDINER HARRIS SEPT. 4, 2016

WASHINGTON — After he is out of the White House, President Obama has said that he wants to become a venture capitalist, own part of an N.B.A. franchise and avoid taking off his shoes during security screenings at commercial airports.

All of those goals, serious or not, might soon be achievable if Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, sign post-presidency book contracts for what literary agents and major publishers say could amount to $20 million to $45 million — more than enough to pay the estimated $22,000 monthly rent for the nine-bedroom home they will occupy in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington and foot the bill for flights on private jets. (Mr. Obama has said he would like to avoid commercial flights once he surrenders Air Force One.)

“His is going to be easily the most valuable presidential memoir ever,” said Raphael Sagalyn of the ICM/Sagalyn Literary Agency, who predicted that Mr. Obama could earn as much as $30 million with a two- or three-book contract. “And I think Michelle Obama has the opportunity to sell the most valuable first lady memoir in history.”

Is there public stock in that wise agency that can be shorted?

Funny how the Obama's give no thought to the poor and needy around the world, when it comes to THEIR MONEY.

Barry could skip the books and send the paper to Venezuela. They need toilet paper bad. I guess he doesn't care about them.

Even reading this causes me nausea.

A book..., fat chance.

[RoosterRedux]

President Obama has said that he wants to become a venture capitalist

And why not...he did so well with Solyndra and Obamacare.

Nobody will buy them. But the DNC and all the other leftist groups will buy them by the truckload to get time on the best seller list. It's how they reward people like Plames husband. He writes a book and a leftist group buys them all up.

Somewhere there is a warehouse full of toilet paper and fish wrap authored by far leftists, and people who have done a service for democrats that further the cause..

“Rules for Radicals” with a snappier new title.

Oh, and toss in some verses from the koran for good measure.

It isn’t plagiarism if the author is dead, is it?

Obama is gunning for the top spot at the UN. He’s a perfect fit for that gaggle of despots and petty tyrants.
