The White House doors may have closed on former President Barack Obama’s presidency, but for him and his wife Michelle, the path to lucrative new book deals and paid speeches is wide open.

The Obamas recently hired top-dollar attorneys Robert Barnett and Deneen Howell to handle their book contracts, and a high-profile public relations agency — known for repping the Clintons and Mia Farrow — to coordinate speaking appearances. The Obamas haven’t yet set book-release dates or announced any scheduled speeches.

The Harry Walker Agency, which exclusively represents former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and former vice presidents Dick Cheney and Al Gore, will handle the Obamas’ post-White House speeches, according to Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis. …

I doubt the Obama’s will be writing any manuscripts themselves.

They will hire many ghost writers to do it for them (Alinsky - Dream of My Fathers). Then the suckers who buy the book (mostly white liberals) will think it was actually written by the two.

This will give the Obama’s plenty of stash to host their numerous gay orgies.

"...yet set book-release dates or announced any scheduled speeches.

Speeches thinly veiled about Socialism when practicing Capitalism

Never ever forget who Obama really is!!

Anyone who thought that the Obamas would be content with a 3 bedroom ranch,a late model Chevy and an occasional visit to Outback needs his/her head examined.

When politicians take multi-million dollar advances on books they don’t write, and no one reads, I always assume money-laundering. Its bribes from when they were in office, being laundered into daylight.

They will sell a lot to the stupid in Illinois. They adore him. Last night I switched around to several local news casts. Over and over I was subjected to Mooches Valentine tweet to Barry which included a photo of their feet in the sand from their recent vacation. I couldn’t tell which feet were whose. The news readers were gushing over the cuteness of it all.

It will suffer the same fate as Bubba Clinton’s book ‘My Life’ did—in the “All books twenty-five cents” rack at our library’s yearly book sale! All 3 copies, too!

It’s hard for me to imagine obama getting rich off speeches for two reasons: 1) He has nothing to sell; clinton was able to pimp future president and her favors in exchange for bribes, and I don’t see michelle fitting that bill, and; 2) He has little else to offer other than pablum and teleprompters.
