It looks like many cable television channels still love former Democratic President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle. The latest example of this was an announcement made on Monday, when Showtime introduced a new hour-long series focusing on recent first ladies in the White House.
Unsurprisingly, the program will be called First Ladies and has been put on fast-track development for the pay cable network to present descriptions of Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Michelle Obama.
According to an article posted by Nellie Andreeva and Denise Petski, editors for the Deadline website, the new program has an initial commitment of three scripts and will discuss where many of historys most impactful and world-changing decisions have been hidden from view.
Novelist Aaron Cooley is set to write the show, which is described as where many of historys charismatic, complex and dynamic first ladies lived. Its not surprising that Obama and Roosevelt were chosen as they were both activist, liberal First Ladies.
Not only is Davis portraying her character, but she is also serving as an executive producer for the program. As a result, the editors noted, the series will look at American history presidencies through a female lens -- the first ladies.
As NewsBusters previously reported, Davis starred in the liberal political drama How to Get Away With Murder. In the program, the actress plays Annalise Keating, a teacher who leads a class with the same name as the title and often clashes with Governor Lynne Birkhead (Laura Innes), the conniving Republican governor who is determined to bring Keating down through blackmail, deceit and even murder.
NewsBusters has also noted that Barack and Michelle Obama signed months ago on the Netflix cable channel to produce programs and films of their own.

“It looks like many cable television channels still love former Democratic President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle.”
Look at how woke we are. We still love the black president, so we aren’t racist and stuff like the mean orange man.
I though Denzel was going to play her, but whatever.
She’s a bit short..............
You have to hand it to America’s deep state and their pliant media-entertainment outlets.
They found and raised up the actor Obama for his role as a make-believe President, but what to do about his frumpy, angry, ideologically-possessed and unattractive wife/partner?
It took a while, but they gave her a Hollywood makeover, and years of glowing propaganda coverage like a wet blanket. She’s now a fashion icon and feminine font of compassion and wisdom. Certainly beyond reproach in any mainstream media outlet.
Yeah, he has the features for it.
He should bulk up his shoulders a bit. “:^)
As if eight year of grotesqueness wasn’t enough...
They turned me down for the role.
The best part is IDIOTS still worship these rich elitist ####s
Half black. And EOM. EvilOrangeMan.
I’ll take a pass.
Maybe it’s a note to the democrat voter don’t do that again it doesn’t work misery ensues.
Angela Davis would have been more on-target.
Davis beat out Rosie Greer for the part after he declined the role citing the director’s insistence that he would have to ‘beef up’ for the part.
Does she have sisters named Violin and Cello?
They’ll probably cast Rhea Perlman as Melania.
“Big Mike” ought to just play himself....LOL
Carpe Diem
She’s pretty ugly so it’s a good pick.
Well, Michael Strahan has been a bit busy these last few years.
