Like exorbitant speaking fees, book publishing contracts are one of those ways bribes can be paid to politicians undetected. Just ask Russia's former first deputy prime minister, Anatoli Chubais, whose political career ended with that one.
So when President Obama and his wife Michelle Obama got a $65-million his-'n'-hers book publishing contract, eyebrows were raised. It wasn't a normal number. Oh, sure, it might have been justified by the likely volume of sales, some said. But Michelle turned her book in on time. And eighteen months past his deadline, Obama has not. Squirreled away in retirement with multiple luxury mansions to choose from, he hasn't exactly been busy. Yet even with that kind of money at stake, he still can't make a deadline, or even come close.

He is just having a problem transcribing from the teleprompter.
He can be more flexible AFTER the election
Not enough pictures of him to fill the empty pages.
With Covid, Ob is having hard time finding sufficient crayons to package with his “COLORing” book.
Nobody want’s to read my book, but for 65 million, you can bet my book would have been in early and often. It would be ready to roll off the presses.
Plus, it would have been Banned in Boston.
Thanks for the money honey...
His hallmark
Because it’s not about the book, it’s about laundering money.
Bill Ayers is busy?
This is not about writing books, publishing books or selling books. Publishing companies are the democrat slush fund.
EIGHTEEN MONTHS late? Wow!
