Obama was crooked, just like Hillary, Biden, Kerry, etc. etc. etc. From American Thinker:
Obama gave Common Core contract to publisher, got $65-million book deal in return?
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.
Much more at the site - Pearson publishes the common core materials. Obama's book was published by Penguin Random House Publishing but it turns out that the same umbrella company owns major shares in both companies.
The article also touches on Obama's Netflix deal:
It's not the first time Obama has done things like this, either. IWB notes that Obama's net neutrality stance benefited Netflix, and surprise, surprise, he got a lucrative deal with Netflix, too.
The whole lot of them are gaming the system - dirty as hell...
