Obama pens a $500,000 book deal days before taking office

Which begs the question... should we cap his pay?

And who is exactly running the country? He has time to go on ESPN and do playoff brackets, have multiple st. patty's day parties at the white house, go on jay leno, make book deals.

My guess is Pelosi. Obama just signed the stimulus so that was not much work.

Please, please republicans get your shit together in the next 3 years.

As tonight's PR stunt on Leno proves: Obama is still campaigning.

He can't lead. He has no real executive experience. He's a junior senator. We knew this.

I applaud Obama for capitalizing on his popularity via this book deal. I would do it as well given the same position, considering the deal was completed prior to taking office.

What's wrong with an ESPN bracket? Is the president supposed to work like a slave 24/7 and have no life outside of the oval office?

As for the "campaigning" issue, he's trying to sell his ideas to the people, just like Bush tried to with the whole privatizing SS.

bush spent 4 of his 8 years on vacation. Obama probably feels like hes working hard compared to the man who preceded him.

No need to call him a slave you racist! j/k. But yeh there is not much going on in the world right now. His been in office long enough to have a night out. He probably just hopped into a cab down to the ESPN studio and was done in no time. No biggie.

I say give him more rest and relaxation. Maybe next time he won't be such a bad host to the British PM.

Well, thats what you get when you elect a president through a popularity vote. McCain would be just as bad if not worst, but Obama has no clue what he is doing except looking out for himself.

Bush was bad, but not this bad.

Don't think for a second that McCain wouldn't be signing those treasury checks just as fast. The whole political scene sucks.

Yep, he probably would have spent the same amount.

I don't trust any politician as of right now, be it demo or repub.

Who is running the country? Ever hear of multitasking? What a whiney loser... Are you seriously gonna sit there and nitpick every little thing like this for the next 4 years? Is the 10 minutes he spent on ESPN will affect anything? When is the last time you didnt have a 10 minute off topic concersation while at work? Should they fire you if you do? O just bitch about it?

You seriously need to get a life and a clue while you're at it.

The republican honeymoon is over, and they aren't getting a vacation for the next decade, unless you count being out of office as a vacation.
