American Thinker: 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.
This kind of suggests that maybe getting the book from him in exchange for the cash wasn’t important?
Maybe. But now the word is rolling out that he’s “underperforming.” According to this delicious item in the American Spectator: MORE
Wasn’t Bill Ayres available again this time to ghost write barry’s book? Or is he too busy trying to destroy the country with support for his Antifa buddies, just like he did back in the late 60’s. This bastard Bill Ayres should still be in Federal prison for life for the crimes that he committed back then. Once a skate and a grifter, always a skate and a grifter. What else is new!
Mistakes in this bribe:
1. Giving him the money in the first place
2. Expecting him to actually deliver.
Did you include the due date in the contract?
Did you put a clause in the contract that says if he doesn’t deliver he has to return the advance? Are you going to sue him for breach of contract?
Or did you do it just because they asked you to give them money?
Bill Ayers must be booked and the Uni-Bomber is, well, unavailable. Maybe Mrs. Fletcher can lend a pen.

Obama…..”what? You guys were serious about a book?”
Underperforming. I’m sure had they ever released any of his college documents we’d have seen that has been Obama in a nutshell. Complete subpar loser made by the media and dem party simply because of the identity politics at the time. There was a time the dem party wouldn’t have looked twice at him not that long ago.
Lazy jug eared grifter who’s school records are still unavailable. Nobody should be surprised that Obama can’t deliver. I hope the publisher takes a bath on this. Maybe in the future they’ll think twice about doling out money to people like this.
I read somewhere that both of these book advances were part of a hugely profitable grade and middle school book contract purchase funded by the Federal Government. Anyone else remember reading about this possibility?
He is probably in Hawaii with four guys half his age playing hide the pickle………..got tired of mooshelle???
Oh, you haven’t heard of “The Book Deal” scam?
Been around as long as politicians:

I gather the first book contract this clown got (while in his late 20’s I think)was for an autobiography. He got and spent the advance and missed extension after extension. Finally the publisher asked for his advance back and Obama couldn’t face him (or her I suppose) and Michelle had to go in and basically beg him not to sue. The publisher ended up letting him keep the advance and was just glad to see the back of him.
The next time was a few years later and again he took the advance and wrote nothing. After a few months he took the rest of the money and left for Hawaii (by himself) figuring that being back home would help him write. Again, not a damn thing with the publisher starting to make sounds about the advance. Once again Obama couldn’t face the publisher or figure out what to do. To the rescue came Michelle who (the story goes) contacted Bill Ayers. Between her and Obama they put together a box of old writings, documents and memorabilia and gave to Ayers. Over the next few months Ayers essencially wrote the book (Dreams of my Father) with some input from Obama.
He’s like a friggin child doing something wrong and running away waiting for someone to fix his problems. What an asshole. This contract is some kind of payoff for past favors. I don’t expect to see a book from him but nobody will say dick.
“Michelle’s book, Becoming, was released by PRH’s Crown division on schedule in November 2018 and has exceeded expectations.” I would LOVE to know how low their expectations were.
He got writer’s cramp. He had a mental block. He hasn’t been in the mood. He can’t get the first sentence right. His dog keeps interrupting him. He ran outta gas. He had a flat tire. He didn’t have enough money for cab fare. His tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole his car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locust’s. It wasn’t his fault!! He swears to Allah!!

What else could you reasonably expect? You should have known is the money was gone when you gave it to him. Based on past performance, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.

obama’s ‘book deal’ was a bribe: in return for the 63 million, obama gave the publisher a 400+ million dollar government contract.

And as for barry being late: does anybody really think this guy ever went to work unless someone else did the work for him?
How hard is it? Provide a title. And author.
How about….
My Contribution to America by Barack Hussein Obama.
Put 200 blank pages in it.
Done.
Why hasn’t someone made a big deal about this Book Deal Scam? Now that Osmidgen has not produced his part of the Book Deal Scam, there might be someone working for the publisher willing to out the lazy bastard.
Bill Ayers must be busy.
Here’s a word that fits, lazy…the half Black Jesus has never made any real effort in his entire life.
The only time the Kenyan Queer applied himself was in oral service to other “men” including his husband Mike.
Hey, some white guy, well versed in ebonics, was supposed to write it for him, free, because, you know – systemic racism…
Remember, “Uhh, uhhh, you didn’t build that.”?
Well now it’s, “uhh, uhh, I didn’t write that.”
Not a bribe- simple money laundering. Publisher needs to be audited.
“Underperforming”
The book may not have written itself, but the title sure did.
Pres. Trump is writing Barack’s memoirs for him as more of Obama’s treasonous White House behavior is exposed. Free of charge except for Obama’s careful media crafted reputation.
