Well Of Course They Did: Barack and Michelle Obama Win an Oscar
PJ Media ^ | 02/10/2020 | Matt Margolis

Posted on 02/10/2020 9:25:17 AM PST by SeekAndFind

It's been nearly a month since we found out the Netflix documentary "produced" by Barack and Michelle Obama, American Factory, was nominated for an Oscar for best documentary.

American Factory debuted on Netflix in August and was the Obamas' first project under Higher Ground Productions. American Factory follows the story of a closed GM plant that was bought and re-opened by a Chinese billionaire. It wasn't shocking at all to find out the Obama-linked project was nominated for an Oscar. Had the Obamas been linked to Howard The Duck it would have been nominated for an Oscar. It was also not surprising that American Factory won the award Sunday night. The Obamas were not in attendance, however.

I've not watched the documentary, nor do I plan to, but no one will be able to convince me that it would have been nominated or won the Oscar had the Obamas not been linked to the project.

Liberal political figures have found Hollywood to be very willing to bestow accolades upon them. In fact, if you look at the Grammy nominations and winners for Best Spoken Word Album, you'll find a lot of Democrat politicians and pundits have a knack for getting recognized, while their conservative counterparts don't even get nominated. Nominees for Best Spoken Word Album include Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Al Franken, and Jesse Jackson. All of them won at least once. And, of course, Barack Obama has won two Grammy awards for Best Spoken Word Album, and Michelle Obama won her own Grammy a couple of weeks ago in the same category for her memoir, Becoming.

Nothing more than liberals congratulating liberals. Nothing to do with talent.

The Obamas got a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix for TV productions.

YOU HEARD IT HERE: the Obamas learned valuable facets of TV production in the sewers of Chicago.


Obama gave Common Core contract to publisher, got $65-million book deal in return?

FR Posted by bitt

As far-left Democrats yell about bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors, let’s turn to their own side of the aisle, starting with the once penniless President Obama, who left public office a very, very rich man.

He just bought a Martha’s Vineyard mansion for a cool $11.75 million, which is in addition to his Kalorama lookout post, his Chicago home, and possibly a Hawaii spread. At some point, you’ve made enough...but not him.
Ostensibly, it’s mainly the work of his book deals. No bribery there, right?

Well, ahem...According to Investment Watch (IWB), something doesn’t quite look right. Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Commoncore text and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return....and...

Trump Calls For Obama’s Book, Netflix Deals To Be Investigated
Sep 16, 2019 -

Pres Donald Trump claimed that instead of worrying about him, the House Judiciary Committe should subpoena Obama’s records.......records Obama is reluctant to expose lest taxpayers fund out he’s been monetizing official presidential acts.... Both Obamas got humongous book deals AFTER the publisher, Penguin, got hundreds of millions of tax dollars around the Common Core nonsense.


Penguin publisher Pearson just announced his retirement— the “retiring” Penguin CEO is 57 years old.
Poor thing.......thinking up ways to hide $350 million of our tax dollars musta exhausted him....cackle.

They just formalized a vote that was taken the minute the obamas thought it might be fun to buy a documentary. Evidence? The Mooch’s Grammy.

This surprises anyone?

Hell, if they'd of done a remake of the Bugs Bunny show, they'd of gotten a damned Oscar.

Who cares?

Just like his faux "Nobel Peace Prize"...it's cheapened, means nothing.

NOTE: Netflix's exclusive deal with the Obamas’ "Higher Ground Productions" means more liberal whining on Netflix.

Yeah, they deserve it all right. Obama acted as a president for 8 years and ‘’Michelle’’(Michael) acted as a woman.

What? I’ve been getting steered, on Youtube, to a bunch of videos of Moochie screaming at herself in a mirror in a forest in Gabon. Theses are the same grifters who got a Nobel Peace Prize, without actually doing anything peaceful, and then became adept at using drones to whack “terrorists” (For all we know.)

Honestly....based on the TV viewer numbers last night...no one gives a darn about Failed POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama and his drag along wife...Michelle. They are far from the most popular couple in town as they hibernate in their $15,000,000.00 fenced in mansion!!!

By the way Barack, a retarded, fellow by the name of Joe Biden is looking for you..he says he was once your Vice President!!! He is eagerly awaiting your telephone call...deadbeat & African-American abuser....Barack you should be ashamed of yourself, how you short changed & screwed your own brothers & sisters, 100%!!!

They are the perfect example of this “getting rewarded for doing nothing” mentality that is in the throes of attempting to conquer/bring down this Great Country.

"Liberal political figures have found Hollywood to be very willing to bestow accolades upon them. "

Of course. Hollywood is the lad of make-believe.

Why shouldn't the Obamas get all sorts of awards? This guy certainly did.

Where are the dead babies?

To be a legitimate celebration of abortion, they have to show dead babies
