Former President Barack Obama will release the first volume of his memoir Nov. 17, two weeks after Election Day.
The 768-page book, “A Promised Land” will cover the 44th president’s historic rise to the White House and first term in office.
“I’ve spent the last few years reflecting on my presidency, and in ‘A Promised Land’ I’ve tried to provide an honest accounting of my presidential campaign and my time in office: the key events and people who shaped it; my take on what I got right and the mistakes I made; and the political, economic, and cultural forces that my team and I had to confront then — and that as a nation we are grappling with still,” Obama said in a statement Thursday.
The book will also touch on the relationships within the Obama family.
“In the book, I’ve also tried to give readers a sense of the personal journey that Michelle and I went through during those years, with all the incredible highs and lows,” Obama said.
Obama hopes the book will inspire its readers.
“And finally, at a time when America is going through such enormous upheaval, the book offers some of my broader thoughts on how we can heal the divisions in our country going forward and make our democracy work for everybody — a task that won’t depend on any single president, but on all of us as engaged citizens,” he said.

“This book will be unique, because it will be dual purpose; readers can read the book while using the lavatory and then wipe themselves with the pages,” says publisher Charmin.
Obama will likely state that his greatest mistake was not going far enough left.
768 pages! I could have used this when there was no toilet paper in stores.
Wow, can’t wait to pre-order!
He’s going to make millions more on tours and signings, etc. What a terrible country we have here.
Even that wasn’t his fault, because Trump/Congress/Gun Clingers, whatever, and he inherited a terrible economy he told us would never recover, but he fixed it all anyway — after leaving office.
Just think. President Elect Michelle Obama has a husband who can write a book (with co-author).
By the way, Amazon may send this message:
Pre-orders have caused our company’s processing hardware and the internet to be slowed and at the peak ordering times of the day to go down. Keep trying again as we will put additional IT staff on this matter to insure your Obama book order is handled.
The Jerk. One of my all time faves
You mean I’m always going to be this color?
Looks like Bill Ayers has been busy.
and dont forget his ‘all my life’ blah blah im bulls*t
I know I, for one, am feeling a warm tingle down my leg. Oooopppps. Sorry. That was tinkle. Dang it. :-)
Obama should write a book called “How To Spy On Your Political Opponents For Dummies”
Oh, and I betcha Ayers wrote the darn thing.
Put it in the outhouse for emergency use.
Yeah....in the systemically racist country this bafoon will make a lot of money.
A Promised Land (Barack Obama himself).
You can't make this stuff up.
