Barack Obama memoir to be released in November
Cox Media via WPXI ^ | September 17, 2020

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.

How many memoirs and “auto” bios has this guy written so far? 3? 4? The guy sure loves talking about himself...as long as there’s money in it.

Will it be labeled as fiction, horror, or both?

"Wow, can’t wait to pre-order!"

They will probably mail unsolicited copies to everyone.

It will resemble this,

What’s the over/under for him finally admitting that he’s gay?

Will he “out” Michael?

Since he turned out to be nothing more than just another craftily marketed Neo-Con, his “rise” was no more “historic” than G W Bush’s or Clinton’s or anybody else’s. Boy, do we have that much free time to be expected to loan any of it to this worthless POS?

Looking forward to the chapter entitled:

“How I gave my expressed approval and authority to railroad Trump”

Does it come in paperback or do you have to purchase a teleprompter to read it?

Well this answers the question what to use if you can’t find toilet paper.

Anyone else would be mocked, and properly so, for publishing what will be his third autobiography, and only the first volume thereof, no less

If I wrote a book about Obama, I’d name it: Satan’s Son.
