By Nathan Rousseau Smith, Buzz60
As many wait with bated breath on details around Barack Obama's post-White House ventures, a solidified book deal and new report could signal a political comeback for the former president.
That according to Obama's friend and former Attorney General Eric Holder, who addressed the National Democratic Redistricting Committee. Holder told reporters "It's coming. He's coming, and he's ready to roll. [Obama] will be a more visible part of the effort."
Holder said he's discussed with Obama ways to help the NDRC through fundraising and interacting with state legislators.

The White House photographer Pete Souza writes"The President was ready to announce the news about the mission against Osama bin Laden and was putting the finishing touches on his statement in the Outer Oval Office. As he did so, the networks broke in with bulletins confirming that bin Laden had been killed and a photograph of him appeared on the television screen in the background near the Vice President and Press Secretary Jay Carney."

Souza says "One of the most memorable moments of the year was when the President hugged Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as he walked onto the floor of the House Chamber at the U.S. Capitol to deliver his annual State of the Union address."

Pete Souza reveals an interesting fact about this photo: "The President hugs the First Lady after she had introduced him at a campaign event in Davenport, Iowa. The campaign tweeted a similar photo from the campaign photographer on election night and a lot of people thought it was taken on election day."
