Netflix announced Monday that it is partnering with former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to develop original content for the video streaming giant. “President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for the streaming platform, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features,” Netflix said in a statement.

The Obamas expressed their excitement for the deal, as well.

“One of the simple joys of our time in public service was getting to meet so many fascinating people from all walks of life, and to help them share their experiences with a wider audience,” said former President Obama. “That’s why Michelle and I are so excited to partner with Netflix – we hope to cultivate and curate the talented, inspiring, creative voices who are able to promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples, and help them share their stories with the entire world.”

I’d really love to know what are their qualifications for “producing” movies and shows?

More social justice bullsh*t. The last 2 series I saw (well, they were given to me) was Godless and Violet Evergarden. And Violet was an anime, and I personally know “one” of the guys who handles their animation division. He aint a lib thats for sure.

Win/Win for the deep state.

Propaganda vehicle AND money laundering to the Osuckas.

Even better than multi-million dollar "book deals."

He did it for 8 years to a four star rating by the liberal media.

This is funny in the sense that Barack and Michelle were obviously star-struck; using the WH to throw frequent opulent celebrity parties.

I guess Netflix could argue they’re about as qualified to do this as they are to be fake lawyers.

Oh dear gawd, don't even try watching Sense8. Pure unadulterated SJW lefty filth. In fact, they openly insult Catholics, as the gay guy describes giving fellatio to his buddy as like taking communion. (Not even kidding)

Try "Ozark" and "Mindhunter". 2 fantastic Netflix shows.

Netflix. The new propaganda arm for communists that undermine America’s foundation and values and promote evil commie, socialist totalitarianism.

I’m sure they’ll have more wisdom about the gay agenda!

I know. I have friends at Netflix here in Hollywood. There’s a good number of them there who are not leftards. It’s the heads and management who are dipsh*t lefties.

No thanks, just cancelled my account. Not going to support a criminal enterprise.

I would believe that, especially people doing business side relations with studios and production.
