"Get me dirt on Penguin boo.ks so I can shake them down for big books on my book contract."

Barack Obama, the writer, is stumbling again. Even the New York Times acknowledges that the former president is "anguishing over the publication date of his long-awaited memoir." Others are anguishing even more than he.
"The delay is wreaking havoc with print scheduling and of course budget planning," an insider told me. "The enormous advance is starting to raise concerns within the publisher. While Michelle's book performed well, Obama needs to deliver the book and sales to make the overall deal worthwhile."
This is not the first time Obama failed to deliver on a book deadline. In the summer of 1993, Simon & Schuster lost patience with Obama, canceled the contract it had awarded him two years earlier, and demanded the advance back. To get out of debt and save his future, Obama had to do something.
Donald Trump knows just what that something was, and he has said so in public. At the time, I was paying close attention. In the spring of 2011, I received a call from a fellow named Michael Cohen. I did not recognize the name, nor did I know how Cohen got my cell number. He explained that he was Trump's attorney, and I had heard of Trump. Cohen wanted to know what I knew about Barack Obama's origins.
I told Cohen I had followed the birth certificate issue only from a distance and knew no more than anyone else. I recommended instead that Trump focus on the authorship issue. Obama claimed to have written his acclaimed memoir, Dreams from My Father, by himself. He was lying. He definitely had help, much of it from Bill Ayers. This I deduced from my literary forensic work in the summer and fall of 2008.

Obama is basically lazy
Bill Ayers wrote his first book for him, he seems to be having trouble finding someone to write this one for him.
Obama has never written anything himself, he was one of the only editors of the Harvard Law Review to never publish.
Obama is a fraud.
He could not have usurped the office that the Constitution says he may not hold without the complete cooperation of the GOP.
True and good thing for us or his usurpation would have been fatal.
I remember Cashill’s 2008 article and analysis of Obama’s “Dreams From My Father.” It was very detailed and excellent.
I have never despised a human being as much as I this one.
Come to think of: He does not deserve to be called a human being
No. I can think of many who aren’t.
But I expected the content. That was predictable.
You want to read what really inhabits his head, read this juvenile pap by him when he was at Columbia: Breaking The War Mentality by Barack Obama
Former First Lady Michelle Obama has been given a show by PBS starting next week, the taxpayer funded network announced Friday. The timing of the announcement comes after Democrats marked $75 million for PBS’s parent the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in the coronavirus relief bill that passed at the end of March. Newsbusters reported the $75 million is on top of the $465 million given CPB in the current year’s federal budget, which is an increase of $20 million over the previous year. Local PBS and NPR stations receive funding from CBP as well as donations from the public, businesses and charitable foundations. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/michelle-obama-given-pbs-show-democrats-gave-public-broadcaster-75-million-coronavirus-relief-bill/ (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

Pres Obama gave $350 million tax dollars Common Core contract to publisher, got $65-million book deal
american thinker ^ | 12/9/2019 | Monica Showalter / FR Posted by bitt
As far-left Democrats yell about bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors, let's turn to their own side of the aisle, starting with the once penniless President Obama, who left public office a very, very rich man.
He bought a Martha's Vineyard mansion for a cool $11.75 million, which is in addition to his Kalorama lookout post, his Chicago home, and possibly a Hawaii spread. At some point, you've made enough...but not him. Ostensibly, it's mainly the work of his book deals. No bribery there, right? Well, ahem... According to Investment Watch (IWB), something doesn't quite look right.
Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return....and...(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
Sep 16, 2019 - Pres Donald Trump claimed that instead of worrying about him, the House Judiciary Committee should subpoena Obama's records.......records Obama is reluctant to expose lest taxpayers fund out he's been monetizing official presidential acts....
Both Obamas got humongous book deals AFTER the publisher, Penguin, got hundreds of millions of tax dollars around the Common Core nonsense. The Obamas also got a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix for TV productions.
YOU HEARD IT HERE: the Obamas learned valuable facets of TV production in the sewers of Chicago.
===============================
Penguin publisher Pearson just announced his retirement-- the “retiring” Penguin CEO is 57 years old.
Poor thing.......thinking up ways to hide $350 million of our tax dollars musta exhausted him....cackle.
You are giving him legitimacy he does not deserve by referring to him as President, even if the worst.
He was never eligible, he was an usurper, nothing more.
Half-brown clown prince of incompetence.
FUBO!
Thanks of course to the abject policy failures of the democrat party for the past 50 years. It's absolutely criminal what liberalism has done to destroy the black american family, promising crumbs in exchange for a vote. These politicians should be in jail...
No.
Obama fits the profile of white trailer park trash, but with dark skin.

Authors Landing On Best-Seller Lists By Buying Their Way
By Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg
Updated Feb. 22, 2013 12:01 am ET
Last August, a book titled “Leapfrogging” hit The Wall Street Journal’s list of best-selling business titles upon its debut. The following week, sales of the book, written by first-time author Soren Kaplan, plunged 99% and it fell off the list.
Something similar happened when the hardcover edition of “Networking is Dead,” was published in mid-December. A week after selling enough copies to make it onto the Journal’s business best-seller list, more hardcover copies of the book were returned than sold.....snip......
