Read that carefully. Nothing is going to charity. 10 percent of the tickets are going to rent a mob. It will be more like 50 percent to fill the seats.
Charity is one of the pillars of Islam.
Her sheer existence is charity enough! To be anywhere near her magnificence is all anyone could ever ask for!!! (~barf and sarc to the max)
...unless that “crotch grab” was photoshopped in?
It’s the second time of in her life she has been proud of her country.
“...Check out how the “glamorous” former first lady grabs her crotch...”
Ummmm....well....she’s a guy, and sometimes guys tend to do that.
Isn’t she just the most beautiful woman never.
The Obamas’ Book Deals Spark $65 Million Mystery
By Jim Milliot and Rachel Deahl with additional reporting from Francis Hoch |

When word broke early last week that former president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama had landed a joint deal at Penguin Random House worth a reported $65 million, many in the industry were stunned. The advance is, if not the largest on record for two standalone works, certainly the largest in recent memory.
As is its company policy, PRH has not commented on the money. Some insiders, all of whom spoke to PW on the condition of anonymity, have expressed skepticism about the accuracy of the figure (which the Financial Times first reported). A week before the deal was announced, one high-ranking publisher at another house who had been involved in negotiations said that he thought the two books would fetch a total of $30 million. But many in the business, including scouts monitoring the auction, said they think the $65 million figure is accurate.
Assuming, then, that PRH did spend $65 million on both books, the publisher has a number of ways to make back its money, and then some. Industry members are confident both books will do well in hardcover, trade paperback, e-book, and audio. With Barack Obamas new book, PRH has a title that will likely be an instant bestseller and will also become a backlist mainstay. It also has the potential to become a popular choice for course adoption. According to NPD BookScan, which tracks about 80% of print sales, Obamas two previous books, 1995s Dreams from My Father and 2006s The Audacity of Hope, have sold roughly 4.7 million print copies combined since 2001, when BookScan started tracking sales.
Michelle Obamas book is more of a gamble. Many insiders said that, despite her popularity as first lady and the notoriety she achieved in the just-closed presidential election, its harder to make an educated guess about how well her book could sell, out of the gate or in backlist.
Queen Moo.
Would that 10% to charity be the gross or net proceeds?
That's what its whole head would look like if its wig-hat fell off.
Just sayin'.

She didn’t write anything. She couldn’t write a laundry list. The cover tries, but fails, to find a small bit of femininity - there is none.
“Check out how the “glamorous” former first lady grabs her crotch...*
The boys had shifted in his jock.

I’m sure it will be chock full of lies and Bull Shit.
“Book is to cost $32.50”
Biggest laugh of the day....no the week.
