Money laundering was my first thought ..but why? What did he do with that amount of money. He certainly didn’t have any material things to show for it....could have gone up in smoke.. .

Sometime when a political person writes a books, a union a non-political individual buys multiple copies to distribute or put money in the candidates pocker. Candidate cn become very rich over night.

Can the source of this money be traced?

Can it be traced? Difficult I imagine, when it appears that the entire exercise may have been conducted to HIDE WHERE IT CAME FROM AND WHERE IT WENT.

The source of the $ was the literary agency of Acton & Dystel. They considered it an investment in what they believed to be a promising young author. The money paid Obama’s living expenses during the period when he was supposed to be writing the book. From what we now know, he probably choomed a good part of it away, awaiting his nonexistent muse.

What did they do with the money Obama got as an advance for the book he didn’t write? They blew it. He and Michelle spent months in Bali and they went to Kenya. He didn’t write the book he was paid to write. That was supposed to be about black/white relations. A book of essays. He ended up stuck. He couldn’t write it so he turned it into a book about himself. Michelle Obama is on record as saying that Ayers “helped” him write the book. Ayers himself admits that he wrote the book. Jack Cashill, of WND, did an exhaustive analysis that found probable cause to believe that Ayers wrote the book or at least heavily edited/rewrote it. This publisher gave him the advance because it’s a progressive company full of “progressives” and they help each other out. Obama, all his life, has been the beneficiary of progressive “help”. Has he ever held a REAL job? No. Did he ever achieve anything on merit and NOT because of his race? No. He was the first affirmative action editor of the Harvard Law Review. He hasn’t even fairly won any of his elections. He always needs a thumb on the scale.
