Obama and Pearson Publishing.

If I remember correctly, the $65 million was an advance on a book that he had not even written one word of.

Media silent that a major publishing company took on a publishing contract and then took on another publishing contract?

What a mystery.

Took one... gave one...

... no, they took two. They're both for-profit projects. They're a publishing company, they make money from both of these publications. That's their job. That's what they're supposed to do.
