Obama Signed Book Deal Just Before Taking Office


Of course there's nothing wrong with it, it looks like the type of thing that would have been in the works for a while (it's just an adaptation fer christsakes). That won't stop someone somewhere (::cough:: Fox News ::cough::) bitching about it. Via Taegan-

Just a few days before being sworn in, President Obama signed a children's book deal that came with a $500,000 advance, the Washington Times reports.

"Analysts say there don't appear to be any rules that would bar such transactions after a president takes office, but it's unclear whether an incoming or sitting president has ever signed a book deal upon entering the White House."

The project calls for an abridged version of his book Dreams From My Father for middle-school-aged children.
