Bill Ayers gonna write this one too?
Just a deferred bribe .... book will be on Wal-Mart $2.00 sale table the same month it is released.
The key words are “you’ve made enough money”. You, not him.
It’s amazing that we still don’t know who he really is. The book will be mostly ghost written by a hack who will mold the false legacy of a flim flam man. He’s an enigma.To all of the pathetic sheep who cried for their Messiah: How’s that hope and change working out? America got the change, Obama is a multimillionaire 1%. Gotta love ‘merica.

2017: Penguin Random House to Publish books by Former U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama
Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle announced today that Penguin Random House has acquired world publication rights for two books to be written by former President of the United States Barack Obama and former First Lady Mrs. Obama respectively...
Penguin Random House will donate one million books in the Obama familys name to First Book, a longstanding Penguin Random House non-profit partner and the Washington, DC-based partner for the 2016 White House digital education initiative, Open eBooks. First Book is dedicated to promoting equal access to education by providing new books, learning materials, and other essentials to children in need in the United States and Canada. Consistent with their past practice, the Obamas also plan to donate a significant portion of their author proceeds to charity, including the Obama Foundation...
Markus Dohle said: We are absolutely thrilled to continue our publishing partnership with President and Mrs. Obama. With their words and their leadership, they changed the world, and every day, with the books we publish at Penguin Random House, we strive to do the same. Now, we are very much looking forward to working together with President and Mrs. Obama to make each of their books global publishing events of unprecedented scope and significance.

reminder - Joe McGinniss/Sarah Palin:
28 May 2010: Daily Caller op-ed: When a peeping tom poses as a journalist
by Penny Nance, President, Concerned Women for America
WANTED: Experienced blogger to take up residence adjacent to Random House CEO Markus Dohle to conduct consistent surveillance on the Dohle family and provide regular blog posts on their activities. Minimum six-month commitment. Experience as a voyeur or peeping tom a big plus. Will provide advance finances to locate and rent accommodations in Scarsdale, N.Y.
As CEO of the largest public policy womens group in the nation, Concerned Women for America (CWA), I would never place an ad like this. Its wrong, and I think both the left and the right would agree that it is, at very least, unethical. However, Sarah Palins stalker/unofficial biographer is doing the very same thing and Random House is paying him for his services.
Unfortunately there is a double standard, as there are with most issues surrounding Sarah Palin and nearly anything having to do with her...

Yep, you got it!
Title: I was the worst President ever. How I betrayed America by being a subversive commie.
What intrigues me is that Penguin Random House thinks they can make money on this deal and get their investment of 65 mil back somehow. No doubt that there will be some “Very deep thinkers” who will buy this book. Aside from that, who is going to buy this warped and contrived crap? Certainly these books can not be much better that his pi$$ poor performance he has given during his glorious reign. No doubt that one or the other Freeper can enlighten me how some publishers can make any money on such deals. I certainly would appreciate knowing how this is done.
Yep. Laundering the Iranian nuke deal kickback.
See #31...
The stupid European sheep with wool over their eyes will buy it.
Yes, you are quite right. Thanks for the correction.
What a farce...What could anyone say to the Carlyle Group or any other group that has a value of almost half a million dollars for a 20 minute speech???
Coloring book? Or preschool book?
He didnt build that
This is money laundering. This is a bribe. No honest publisher would make such a deal because they cannot possibly recoup the advance, so money people are behind the scenes funneling cash to Barry and Mooch.
Book deals have become a way of filtering money to certain people as rewards for pushing certain agendas.
