“Neither the President nor the Vice President have any conflicts of interest, and their reports have been reviewed and certified by the independent Office of Government Ethics,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney wrote in a White House blog. “We are continuing this Administration’s practice of posting these forms online here in the interests of transparency.”
 
The president continues to earn a sizable profit from his books, earning between $100,000 and $1 million in royalties each from Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters and Dreams From My Father. His 2006 book The Audacity of Hope brought in between $50,000 and $100,000 in royalties.
