No one who's ever looked at that industry could ever believe that Obama picked up the phone and negotiated the contract or had anything to do with it.
At least four publishers are involved in an auction over the Obama books, sources told the Times, which reported that Penguin Random House is leading the pack and a decision on the winning bid is expected soon.
Penguin published Obama’s last three books.
HarperCollins, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., is reportedly another contender. HarperCollins winning the rights would bring the Obamas into the same publishing house as figures such as Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly, one of the former president’s biggest media critics.
Sources briefed on the auction’s standing said Macmillian is a third competitor, while Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS, remains a fourth player.

This is not uncharted territory by any stretch of the imagination.

Then you don't understand my point at all. And that's fine. Kind of the usual.
Obama has made more than 10 million from previous books he wrote. He actually wrote them himself too.
