So I just started doing a little digging around and here is what we know so far...
It appears that Obama held some secret behind closed door meetings with some book publishers to talk about perhaps publishing a book. Eventually one of the publishers agreed to the deal and actually went ahead and published it.
Details are still a little sketchy as this is a breaking story but I will keep digging around and see what else I can come up with.

(101,265 posts)All those words, in the right order, and used correctly. Page after page. That's just unnatural. Real Americans can't write like that, let alone read it. Writing a book is cultural Marxism gone mad. Some people are saying Das Kapital was a book.

Damn, that is so . . . . words fail me!
Where is the humanity, the respect for civilized behaviour, the respect for those mentioned in the book, in all this?
Very underhanded, I must say! (yes, sarcasm . . . do I need to include the sarcasm smily?)
Reading between the lines, Donald is running out of distractions! (aka 'Look! Squirrel!')
Honestly, someone should write a book about Trump's distraction attempts, and what each is meant to distract from. I'd read it, because I've lost track.

Just a quibble: Ivanka means "Little Ivana."
Ivana, who I think of as Mother of the Spawn, she who used to call him The Donald, would have been the one who knew about the book.
