Barack, Michelle Obama Ink Deal to Produce Netflix Movies and Shows
breitbart ^ | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 05/21/2018 11:59:38 AM PDT by davikkm

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.”

The first series will probably be “How to hate whitey and become the president”.

When Susan Rice was named to the Board of Netfix that’s when I cancelled my subscription.

President Trump revolutionised TV with The Apprentice being perhaps the most popular show of the 21st century.

Obozzo is jealous of Trump, his hatred and envy of everything Trump has oozes from him. He wants to prove he is a big shot in the entertainment world, after Trump destroyed him politically

I may have to dump my ‘movies via mailed DVD’ deal with Netflix.

If OTHER citizens don’t care that they are pouring millions into an outfit that redirects millions of THEIR fees into every left-wing cause out there, they have only themselves to blame as this country heads further into the yawning socialist sewer waiting at the end of the America the Founders TRIED to leave us.
If you don’t fully grasp how the power structure players - and most
especially the LEFT - take care of one another, this BOD thing with Rice
will be a well paid SINECURE (that’s a position with great benefits/pay
but NO real responsibility) in which to park Susie as - HOPEFULLY - the
long arm of the law reaches out to her to - again HOPEFULLY - grab her
by her greasy, stringy hair and pull her into a courtroom and - with
luck - a cage at Leavenworth or some equally well appointed correctional
facility! My preference for all of them is Guantanamo!!
Bottom line for me? I’ve grown weary of subsidizing those who demonstrate that they are on the OTHER SIDE!
The often delayed time for choosing WHICH SIDE WE’RE ON has arrived!
How about you? Is your “entertainment” so important that you’ll pay for it with the futures of your kids and grand kids

These guys were even in the running to produce the Oscars. To hide their right leaning ways, one of them went to the meetings in a leased Prius and they even stamped a Bernie sticker for added effect. True story.

If I were a member of Netflix, would my pulling out of it hurt one iota?

I agree with your sentiment about those that are destroying this country need to be exposed, tried, and hung. I just asked a question. Didn’t expect to get a lecture.

First susan rice, now the obamas. Let the Democrats take over a business dedicated to make believe. Fill it up with former obama administration personnel. They can pretend they’re in power again. At least we’ll know where they are when the indictments start raining down.

I honestly am thinking about cancelling Netflix now. I am going to write them and let them know that I will absolutely NOT watch anything with the Obama-inations, nor tolerate them pushing me to watch it.

It will be delicious when the Obama Regime demands the board give free lifetime Netflix subscriptions to the disenfranchised or disadvantaged or people of color.

We cancelled a long time subscription when they hired Rice.
