For a guy who said, “at some point, you’ve made enough money,” and a gal who said, “someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more" the Obamas sure rake in plenty of dough.
Unless installing an in-ground pool in the yard of an $8.2-million home located in a fancy Washington, DC neighborhood is considered spreading the wealth? Since, leaving the White House the duo seems to be gathering, not “spreading, the wealth.”
Fresh out of the White House, Michelle and Barack began “leveling their playing field” with a joint book deal in excess of $65-million penned with Penguin Random House. Let’s face it, $65-million is not a bad payday for people who earn oodles of capital reiterating the same hardscrabble story about impoverished childhoods, suffering racial injustice, and how understanding gender inequity and the plight of poor people is something only they can do.

Someone needs to take most of their pie.
I just took out my itsy bitsy share of their pie-—I just this moment cancelled my Netflix subscription. I told the young man on the other end of the phone line, “I will be darned if I will subsidize 1 cent of my money into the Obamas’ pockets. Also, you only offer 15 year old movies and old TV show reruns, so where is the value anyway?”
about $1.5 BILLION DOLLARS were spent on the obamas every single year of his presidency-
“Obama and Family Cost Taxpayers 1.4 Billion Dollars Last Year”
Hey Soebarkah!
That bestselling book — you didn’t write that!
But, they sure as hell got paid for it. How many of the NOTflix things do you think they’ll write? NONE. But, Cha Ching!
How much money is Netflix and ABC donating to his Chicago bath house.
Didn’t Michelle Obama advise students not to try to make a lot of money?
I think it was during a commencement speech.
The Obamas are plain grifters who hit the jackpot just like the Clintons. Both crime families have produced nothing and do everything to enrich themselves. The scumbag left love the rich as long as they are leftists.
“someone is going to have to give up a piece of HIS pie so that someone else can have more"
“someone is going to have to give up a piece of HER pie so that someone else can have more"
“someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more" grammatically wrong
Me thinks Michael, er, Moochelle Obama is also an ignorant ass. If the libs are going to quibble over the word President vs. president, this Grammar Nazi will correct them. Actually, President Trump was absolutely correct on his spelling of President.
The Clintons are raking it in, too. What the heck, we’re not communists, after all. But it’s ironic that obama and spouse, a pair of dyed-in-the-wool Marxists, are doing everything they can to get rich.
Wake up, there is NEVER a limit or enough. every thing else is a lie. Unless of course you are not a human being.
I keep checking the mail for my tiny pie crumb but have yet to get it.
Check with pelosi. She’s an X-spurt on crumbs supposedly. Well, if you can break her out of one of her freezes.
I guess you missed my point NO, the Obamas are not aliens, they are human beings and that is why there will never be enough money or power for them. if you need a reason, sin, the old sin nature, Adam’s original sin.
No amount of money can stop beatings and rapes in prison.
Orange jump suit for one of the Treason Twins (hillary and obama).
REFERENCE -- WIKI Netflix's efforts to produce new content, secure the rights for additional content, and diversify through 190 countries has resulted in the company racking up billions in long-term debt: $21.9 billion as of September 2017, up from $16.8 billion from the same time the previous year, although only $6.5 billion of this is long-term debt; the remaining are long-term obligations.
=================================
FR lawyers need to analyze the Netflix FEC filing (below) to determine whether this conflicts with Obama's Netflix plans that include training political workers.
SOURCE - WIKI In April 2012, Netflix filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to form a political action committee (PAC) called FLIXPAC. Politico referred to the PAC, based in Los Gatos, California, as "another political tool with which to aggressively press a pro-intellectual property, anti-video-piracy agenda."The hacktivist group Anonymous called for a boycott of Netflix following the news.
Netflix spokesperson Joris Evers indicated that the PAC was not set up to support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), tweeting that the intent was to "engage on issues like net neutrality, bandwidth caps, UBB and VPPA."
==================================
QUOTING OBAMA: "After I left office, what I realized is the Obama Foundation could eventually create a platform for young up-and-coming leaders, both in the United States and around the world," Obama said at a conference in Tokyo in March. "If I could do that effectively, then, you know, I would create a hundred or a thousand or a million young Barack Obamas or Michelle Obamas, or, you know, the next group of people who could take that baton in that relay race that is human progress and continue to build on the work that we have done. So that's really going to be my focus." A million Obamas is one of the most ambitious goals ever for a former American president.

The multi-year Netflix agreement, in the works since at least March, calls on the Obamas “to produce a diverse mix of content, including the potential for scripted series, unscripted series, docuseries, documentaries and features,” which will be broadcast in 190 countries, according to a statement from the streaming service, which has 125 million subscribers around the globe. Netflix received hundreds of résumés and story ideas after announcing the partnership, the source said.
Netflix says the couple formed Higher Ground Productions LLC to broker the deal. A firm with that name was incorporated in Delaware in April, public records show.
The contract comes a year after the Obamas inked a joint book deal with Penguin Random House valued in excess of $65 million. The first of the deal’s planned books, Michelle Obama’s memoir, “Becoming,” is due out in November.
Since leaving office, Barack Obama has addressed groups across the country, speaking about grassroots organizing and the problems of the poor.
People who retain Obama for talks pay a steep price. After a speech at a health care conference sponsored by Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald in September, Obama reportedly took home $400,000.
In addition to raking in millions on these ventures, the former first couple has been involved in fundraising for the Obama (cough) Foundation, which is developing a $500 million presidential center and library in Chicago.
The Obama (cough) Foundation took in more than $13 million in 2016, an exponential increase from just under $2 million the previous year, federal filings show.
