AOL ^

Posted on 04/06/2017 6:55:15 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Books written by former Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden will be coming to a store near you, reports USA Today.

The anticipated release dates have yet to be announced, but the couple has reportedly signed a deal with Flatiron Books.

According to the publisher, the agreement involves three books, two written by the former vice president and the other by his wife, notes The Hill.

Thus far, the content of only one has been revealed.

Politico reports that Joe Biden plans to write about his experience of serving in the White House while coping with the 2015 death of his son Beau. AdChoices

He will also reportedly discuss his reasons for not entering the 2016 presidential election.

In a statement, Flatiron said, "We're so deeply honored to be the publisher of these books by Vice President and Dr. Biden. The vice president's book promises to give us all a deeper understanding of recent political history, but it will clearly also be a book about the values that have given the vice president strength in both good times and bad."

That Clinton deal was another political payoff.

3,000 copies and they quickly cut it down to peanut pricing.

I remember that during the election and though, “If Hillary is so popular, why can’t she draw a crowd or sell a book?”

Is the $60 million figure for the Bidens or the Obamas? The article says financial details were not revealed for the Bidens, then talks about the Obamas and 60 million. The Obamas aren’t worth 60 million for 2 books, but it’s probably worth more than the Bidens.

Note to thread visitors:

The $60 million may be Obama’s separate deal and not Uncle Joe.

Here’s info on the Obama payoff, er, book deal:

Does this mean they feel the need to head off to a non-extradition island, too?

Joe is going to have a chapter on planning the family’s next Thanksgiving get together. Seating arrangements will be a challenge.

Keeping Uncle Creepy away from the kids' table will be a challenge.

If any publisher thinks they will earn back $60 million from those three books, they are nuts.

The losses are tax deductible so we taxpayers are being robbed for the benefit of Progressive Socialists again. If we weren't so used to it maybe we would complain.

I believe there is a whole industry set up to service the needs of retiring public servants. And I think they have a gentleman’s agreement, to not look too closely at any of this.

Ye gads morron I believe you are on to something there. You realize that autocorrect demands I change your name right? Wants to leave out an "r" I put it back in hope it keeps.😇

The rumor is that Hillary had a meeting with Joe, showed him the dirt they had on him, and he bowed out.

Or she promised him the $60 million book deal for sitting on his ass. Nothing Joe ever did was worth $60 million, but what he didn't do was worth that much to the Clintons.

Bernie sanders got a second or third house an a nice Audi for his payoff.

I still believe they had dirt on Joe and forced him out.

Remember the Clinton machine uncovered nude photos of Obama’s mother and the whole birther issue. If there’s dirt they find it.

Joe and Jill to write 3 books? Will it be in the fiction section, the revised history section or the children’s section?
