Michelle Obama’s new book is just another craven cash grab
nypost ^ | 11/19/2019 | Maureen Callahan

Posted on 11/19/2019 12:44:08 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Not content with more than 10 million books sold, a Netflix deal in the high eight figures, a joint publishing advance with husband Barack worth $65 million, a highly profitable world tour, speaking fees that by now surely average around $500,000 per, and a recently acquired waterfront Martha’s Vineyard mansion purchased for $15 million, Michelle Obama is back with another craven money grab.

“Becoming: A Guided Journal for Discovering Your Voice,” is her new publishing venture.

Getting rich off laundered foreign aid money? Seems to me the attempted impeachment is exposing more than the Democrats want.

Yep, this is an old technique. Someone famous has a book ghost written, and the famous one rakes in the dollars.

Hillary knows a thing or two about that, having allegedly written numerous books.

I heard the Obamas are setting up a foundation, similar to the Clinton foundation.

Does anyone think the Clinton foundation is anything but a money laundering operation? The Clintons get big paychecks from this alleged charity? Daughter Chelsea gets a six figure paycheck for doing, what exactly? But it’s a charity, so nobody will investigate the Clinton foundation.

It's the Washing of a Bribe. She "writes" a book. One of a select number of publishing houses prints 1,000,000 copies. Soros buys 990,000 copies, sticks them in a container to be pulped in a few years.

Amazon puts it on their "best seller" list, and the other 10,000 copies get scattered in B&N book stores nation wide, where they wind up in the remainders bins in a few months, and Mikey gets a "royalty" check.

A select few of the more dim witted Lefties actually buy the book, although reading raises blisters on their forefinger and they skip over the longer words, if they read it at all.

My only questions are :

“Who wrote it for her?”
and
“How big is their cut of the $$$?”

The best scam around is book “royalties” along with campaign “contributions” for candidates who have no shot in hell to win anything but the big campaign lottery.

“Michelle Obama’s new book is just another craven cash grab”

That’s what the Obamas are best at.

Just laundering the bribes through Netflix and book publishers .... nobody but the few fools buy that crap. Check out Walmart bargain $2.00 table and see whose books are there.
