Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return.

The Obamas’ $60m book deal has broken all records. From James Patterson to JK Rowling and Pope John Paul II, here are some of their closest rivals.

Pearson Publishing was paid for Commoncore but Penguin Random House Publishing did the Obama book deal. But there is commonality with the two:

From Wiki:

Penguin Random House was formed on July 1, 2013, upon the completion of a £2.4 billion transaction between Bertelsmann and Pearson to merge their respective trade publishing companies, Random House and Penguin Group. Bertelsmann and Pearson, the parent companies, owning 53% and 47%, respectively.

In July 2017, Pearson agreed to sell a 22% stake in the business to Bertelsmann, thereby retaining a 25% holding.

How much money have sales of Obama’s books made the company?


Probably not enough to cover the printing/distribution costs

All 4 books were flops

Giant Flops

The numbers are no where near the advances the Obamas were paid

They claim they sold 10 million obama books.

Remember, they “Claim”

Here’s hoping Trump eliminates Common Core textbooks from the curriculum.

I wonder how much of a kick-back Obama and Clinton got from the money they gave the mullahs. You know they didn’t do it for nothing.

How much kickback to the Democrats was in the $10trillion debt spending under Obama?

Green energy, Planned Parenthood, etc etc.

Give it to Leftists who then give it to Democrat campaigns.

The day they have their way and try to rule us all with their sticky corrupt hands.... we revolt! there are more of us than there are in Washington.. they in Washington don’t know who we are in middle America, nor how many we are keeping this country working... one thing for sure, we are fed up with them!!

Man.. he’s one thing I cannot stand!!!!!!!!!!!1

AND THIS? Netflix has made some recent moves that have especially rankled Republicans.

<><> In March 2019, "cable star" Susan Rice — former national security adviser to President Obama, was named to Netflix board of directors.

<><> then Netflix officially announced an exclusive multiyear deal with the Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions for original programming.

<><> Now we hear the Obamas' (cough) production company signed a whopping $90M Netflix deal to produce a series regarding calls to impeachment Pres Trump.

---------------------------------------------------------

Let's see how Netflix listed these "so-called deals" on its shareholder reports.

The only IT cert I have active is a vintage A+.

Out of what ones I ever had, A+ was the only one people cared about.

The real 'quid pro quo'.

obummer used $350 Million tax dollars to buy books, the book company signs obummer to a $65 Million 'book deal' using part of the bribe from the halfrican, communist, mooselimb traitor.

SAD.
