TAKING CARE OF BARACK – AT 11:43 A.M. ET:   Going the way of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama plans to market the presidency in a grand manner.  From The New York Times:

Penguin Random House will publish coming books by former President Barack Obama and the former first lady Michelle Obama, the publishing company announced Tuesday night, concluding a heated auction among multiple publishers.

The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but publishing industry executives with knowledge of the bidding process said it probably stretched well into eight figures. Robert B. Barnett and Deneen C. Howell of Williams & Connolly represented the Obamas.

Eight figures?  Eight figures?  Well, Hillary made eight figures.  Why not Barack and Michelle, those servants of the people?

Penguin Random House acquired world rights to the books, and worldwide sales could be substantial. No decision has been made yet as to which of the company’s major imprints — which include Random House, Doubleday, Alfred A. Knopf and Crown — will publish the books. Mr. Obama’s previous books were published by Crown, which also published Mrs. Obama’s book “American Grown,” about the White House garden.

A spokeswoman for Penguin Random House would not say whether the books would be memoirs and referred questions to representatives of the Obamas.

COMMENT:  Have you noticed that Democrats make more money?  No wonder they lost contact with their former working-class base?  Aren't they the help?  The flyover people?  The poor saps who cling to their guns and their religion? 

The Dems claim they are anti-corporation...unless of course it's their corporation.

What a seedy mess.
