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.

I’d be willing to bet he didn’t even write that.
Really?
Lol, it is juvenile enough that it is hard to imagine he DIDN’T write it!
They want it to come out after the election. If it comes out beforehand, the Democrats will be reminded of life before Joe...and that will just get them depressed. LOL.
Think about the position he’s in now. B-HO knows that he’s an empty chair with zero authenticity. Most anything he writes, if honest, would be tragically dull and shallow, only to reveal himself as a fraud. He can chose to lie, but he knows that those who. worked with him would see right through it. B-HO couldn’t even make the chapter about Bin Ladin’s death interesting as per his participation - as even then, he was just a bystander straddling a fence of fate. His book would need to be a compilation anecdotes about trips to interesting places with yarns of meeting celebrities and VIPs, interspersed with memorable compliments given to his greatness. His so called “accomplishments” wouldn’t take up more than a single chapter.
I’ll be shocked if Bill Ayers isn’t still helping Obama with his writing.
It’s not as though they would have to worry about another ghost writing collaboration. The MSM never investigated it in the past and would still continue to ignore it.
“Obama is basically lazy”
That’s racist! lol
This memoir is a shovel-ready job if ever there was one. Just like Obama’s other jobs, however, the money is spent and nothing to show for it.
Actually the needs to be shouted to the mountain tops.
Obama is a fraud!
