- Obama’s Story, Written by Obama
- By JANNY SCOTT
When his keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention sent his memoir soaring out of obscurity and straight onto the best-seller list, he untethered himself from his longtime literary agent in favor of Robert B. Barnett, the Washington lawyer who had gotten Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton an $8 million book advance and then landed Mr. Obama a $1.9 million, three-book deal.Er um... "untethered himself from his longtime literary agent"... ?!?!?
...What happened between Mr. Obama and Ms. Dystel is not clear. Ms. Dystel declined to be interviewed for this article.
THIS IS SO OFF THE MARK IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A LIE. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED:
OBAMA SUMMARILY BROKE THE CONTRACT HE HAD WITH THE AGENT WHO PUT HIM ON THE MAP WHEN HE WAS A NOBODY.
HE DID THIS AS SOON AS A BIGGER AGENT CAME ALONG - RIGHT AFTER HIS KERRY CONVENTION SPEECH.
OBAMA AND HIS 1st AGENT SETTLED OUT OF COURT.
MAYBE - I AM GUESSING HERE - PART OF THE SETTLEMENT IS THAT SHE CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT...
BUT THIS EPISODE REVEALS A PATTERN WHICH WE HAVE SINCE SEEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN:
- Obama ditches friends as soon as it becomes advantageous to move on.
- His mother. His agent. His pastor. Et al.
- Obama is a low-life ingrate who doesn't know the meaning of the word LOYALTY.
VOTE ACCORDINGLY.
