significant book. Unlike others, the publisher would likely have very little leverage to push him at all. He clearly does not need the money and he is not rushing it meet an electoral deadline. He might even want a little time for himself before he starts as he clearly has pushed himself mercilessly since he got the office -- and a bit of time would likely only add to the perspective he can give.

I love that he (and the people dearest to him) completely know that he has accomplished a tremendous amount at a time when that was not easy. I suspect that in addition to books, that the climate change speech he gave this week, might suggest that he will try to continue to be a force cheerleading the efforts to get businesses excited about the potential of clean energy. I somehow can not see him retiring to just pleasant time with Teresa, friends and family, Red Sox games, water sports and sailing etc.
