Obama watch: Our newest millionaire?

Well, Ill. Senator Barack Obama could be our newest millionaire, according to Pajamas Media.

OBAMA "HOPE" STAYS TOP OF BOOK SALES IN HOLIDAY RUSH… DEM WONDER SCANS 62,821 FOR WEEK — 401,841 SINCE RELEASE, SOURCES TELL DRUDGE..." (Drudge Report)

Let's do the math. The royalty would be 15% of the cover price of each book sold. That's $3.75 each to the author. Multiply by 401,000 and Obama's earned, to date, $1,503,750.00 for The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. With more to come. That’s your reclaimed American dream right there.

Elsewhere on the Obama front, blogger Gun'n'butter discovered that a New Hampshire woman recently died of Obama fever. It's probably contagious, so I'm going to have to stay away from Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood, where Barack lives.
