OT: Getting Paid

Barack and Michelle Obama each just sold a book in a joint deal that appears to be bigger than any previous presidential book deal in history. Reportedly, they are making $65 million, which is an unprecedented amount of money for a presidential memoir.

    Michelle setting the next foundation piece for her 2024 or 2028 (depending on who wins in 2020) presidential run.

    Cashing in on multimillion dollar book deals is how former presidents get rewarded for all the favors and crony deals they do for big corporations while in office. I bet the publisher is owned indirectly by Amazon or Berkshire Hathaway or some other big conglomerate. That's how things have been done since at least the Nixon years.

    I don't need to read that. I already haul around lots of political promises in the back of my truck
