CLEVELAND, Ohio-Released on Nov. 17, “A Promised Land” is former Democratic president Barack Obama’s latest book and it’s already topping best seller lists, selling a record breaking 1.7 million copies its first week on the shelves. 

The popular book, which is the first of a two volume series on the memoirs of the former president since he left the White House in January of 2017, sold a whopping 887,000 copies in its first 24 hours after its release, and tops the 725,000 copies sold on day one of former first lady Michelle Obama's 2018 best selling memoir, “Becoming.” 


America's first Black president, and its 44th president, Obama was elected via a historical election in 2008 and won reelection four years later.

Previous Obama books include “The Audacity of Hope,” “Dreams from My Father” and a children’s book titled “Of Thee I Sing.” 

A  trained ivy league lawyer like his wife Michelle, who was once his boss, Obama was a community organizer on Chicago's largely Black south side before he won a seat in the Illinois senate.

He later won a U.S. Senate seat.

He was a junior U.S. senator when he upset Hillary Clinton in 2008 to win the Democratic nomination for president with Blacks across the country voting in droves, and he carried that momentum into the general election to beat Republican John McCain, a seasoned and respected member of Congress, and a senator from Arizona. 

The two later became friends, Obama delivering the eulogy at McCain's funeral in 2018.

In winning reelection to the presidency in 2012 Obama beat Republican Mitt Romney, a former Massachusetts governor and now a U.S. senator himself. 

During his eight years as president the economy gained a net 11.6 million jobs and unemployment dropped to below the historical norm.

His administration also expanded access to federal contracting to minority-owned businesses, reduced racial and ethic health disparities, and reinvigorated the office of Civil Rights at the Department of Education, which fail under attack when he left office. 

A 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Obama signed many landmark bills into law, including his signature Affordable Care Act (commonly referred to as ACA or "Obamacare"), the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010.

He fought to protect women's reproductive rights, and Civil and Human Rights while up against a Republican-dominated U.S. Senate. 

The now defunct Iran Nuclear Deal, a joint comprehensive plan relative to Iran's nuclear program, came about under Obama, who also appointed two of the nine U.S. Supreme Court justices, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. 

Same sex marriage became federal law under his tenure as president, as did the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act), and so many more policy initiatives that together made life better for America's middle class, and its marginalized and underrepresented groups.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
