Back to work! The Obamas hire managers for upcoming speech and book deals as Joe and Jill Biden sign with CAADaily Mail, Feb 10, 2017, Associated Press and Ashley Collman For Dailymail.com
The Obamas appear to be modeling their post-White House life after the Clintons, by joining the speaking circuit.
On Friday, it was reported that the former president and first lady had signed to Harry Walker Agency, the same agency that represents Bill Clinton. No official speaking events have been announced yet.
The couple have also hired attorneys Robert Barnett and Deneen Howell to help with with book deals. Barnett previously helped the Clintons, George W. Bush and wife Laura, Sarah Palin and Ted Kennedy get published.
Mr Obama has already written two books, but this will be the first time that his wife has taken pen to paper. The former first lady is also scheduled to appear as a guest judge on the next season of Masterchef Junior, apparently carrying on her cause to teach children about nutrition.
Before leaving office, Obama said he wasn't going into retirement - but planned to stay active in public life. The announcements comes just days after the Obamas returned from a two-week vacation to Palm Springs and the Caribbean.
In typically Biden fashion, Obama's VP took no break and got straight to work on his new career. On Friday, Creative Artists Agency announced that they have signed Biden and his wife Jill as their newest clients.
