Michelle Obama Book Tour Draws Beyoncé-Like Prices
CBS News Chicago ^ | September 25, 2018 | Derrick Blakley

Has Michelle deserted the masses? That is the question some women, especially black women, are asking after seeing the sky-high ticket prices for Michelle Obama’s book tour.

CBS 2’s Derrick Blakley said Michelle Obama’s book tour consists of inclusionary talk, but exclusionary prices. There won’t be any low-key, Hillary-like book signings for Michelle; instead, she’s proving to be an arena-star like Beyoncé.

Money quote:

Political consultant Delmarie Cobb said, “They have a reason to be upset because I’m sure they felt that if she was going to be a book tour, it was going to be for the masses, not just for the elite.”

SUCKERS!!! So the Obama's vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, buying a house in one of the most exclusive parts of DC, and staying on yachts owned by some of the most wealthy people in the world did not convince you?

Money laundering. Might as well buy a carwash.

Penguin Random House paid the Obama’s $65 million for a joint book deal. I’m not in publishing, but even other dingbat leftists in the industry were shocked by that sum of money. The amount of book and related sales will need to be absolutely huge.

They’ve got to earn it back any way they can.

Hmmm.... There were $30 tickets and those were snapped up first. Shortly into ticket buying there were $500+ tickets left.

Article fails to mention how many $30 tickets were sold and if there were any in the $45 or $75 range. The “secondary sales market” might know...

65 million is nothing in order to advance socialism.

They were saying Madonna prices earlier in the week.

Guess they realized Madonna is washed up. And White.

Now it’s Beyoncé.

The pallet of cash also seems like an appropriate comparison, hidden is a basement or landed on a C-130.

[[Penguin Random House paid the Obama’s $65 million for a joint book deal.]]

May the sale of their books combined come to about $5,000,000 total (Had to give it some figure as there are a lot of gullible people out there- let’s hope it doesn’t go over that figure- make random house wish they had never been so gullible)
