Washington Times - EXCLUSIVE: Obama's $500,000 book bonanza
As he empathized with recession-weary Americans, President Obama arranged in the days just before he took office to secure a $500,000 advance for a children's book project, a disclosure report shows.
The terms of the book deal were disclosed in a Senate financial disclosure report filed Tuesday.
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.

Go on Tonight Show, fill out the NCAA brackets, write a children's book.
Only wish he could carve out some time to work on the economy. Maybe read the bills that a sent to him by the Congress. He might have realized that he signed up to the AIG bonuses.
Heh, ouch.
