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:
