Obama gave CommonCore contract to publisher, got $65 million book deal in return?
By Monica Showalter

As far-left Democrats yell about bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors, let's turn to their own side of the aisle, starting with the once-penniless President Obama who left public office a very, very rich man.

He just bought a Martha's Vineyard mansion for a cool $11.75 million, which is in addition to his Kalorama lookout post, his Chicago home, and possibly a Hawaii spread. At some point you've made enough...but not him.

Ostensibly, it's mainly the work of his book deals. No bribery there, right?

Well, ahem...

According to Investment Watch (IWB), something doesn't quite look right.

    Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return.

REPORT: Obama’s $65 MILLION Pay-To-Play Common Core Publishing Scheme

by DCWhispers | Dec 9, 2019 | DC Whispers

Boy-oh-boy were those Obama years particularly “swampy” even by D.C. swamp standards.
A new report out this week reveals what appears to be a very lucrative pay-to-play scheme involving Common Core, a publisher, and former president, Barack Obama.

I am sure you are mistaken,and there are dozens of people waiting anxiously to read Bathhouse Barry's words of wisdom.

And the publisher will write the 60+ million dollar loss off their taxes.

I am assuming it has a lot of "pitchures" for the Obomber faithful,and the publisher takes Food Stamps for payment?

What author gets $65 million for a single book?

How can one book (and I don't care WHO wrote it) earn that much money for a publisher so that it can pay off an "author" that much?

@Fishrrman

It's called "Money Laundering". The publisher sells cases of those books at 65 bucks each to wealthy leftists,not to mention school libraries. They are guaranteed a profit before the first book is ever printed. You might see one in somebody's home somewhere,but they bought it at a yard sale for 3 bucks.
