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. Thats 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.

Yeah, like they will actually do anything. Like they will actually invest their own money or raise it from investors like actual producers do, like they will actually make business decisions like actual producers do.
All it really is, is another money laundering scheme.

Cancelled my Netflix a few months ago when word of this broke. Not going back. Not giving that POS Obama a single dime of my hard earned money.

I had a nice chat with of Netflix support about this, and it went well.
Your issue is: The new Netflix contract with the Obama's.... You are now chatting with:
You
Hello
Netflix
Hi there! :D
Netflix
Allow me to ask you, what is your name?
You

Netflix
Hi ro_dreaming! :D
Netflix
Tell me, how can I help you today? :)
You
I just saw that Netflix has signed a contract with the Obama's to have them produce and star in shows for Netflix?
You
is that correct?
Netflix
That's correct! :D
You
Who would I need to talk to in order to ge the same multi-year contract. I have as much experience, and a better representative of the American Experience
You
I am serious. Who within the Netflix directors/talent evaluation should I direct my contract inquiries? And, is it possible to ban anything they produce from ever showing up on my TV?
Netflix
Ohh I see
You
I have as much experience producing shows as they do, and feel that I could better represent true America.
Netflix
Well, in this case what you can do is the following
You
(there was a long pause with no typing, so I asked) yes?
Netflix
You can go ahead and send an email address to pr@netflix.com and explain the situation. And they will asnwer you with all the answer that you need
You
great - so, on a technical level, is it possible to "ban" a show, producer, etc.?
You
I know "adult content" can be blocked, can specific shows?
Netflix
We don't have an option to ban an specific show.
Netflix
However
Netflix
The option that we have is the following. We have the option to Restrict Specific Titles
Netflix
You can specify individual titles that require the PIN to start playback regardless of maturity rating.
Netflix
You will have that option on the parental control section :D
You
great! that's fantastic!
You
so, once they come out with a show, I can enter that specific title. Thank you very much .
Netflix
That's correct! :D
Netflix
You are very welcome! :)
Netflix
Anything else I can help you with today? :D
You
And, just to let you know, with the Susan Rice appointment to the Netflix board of directors and this, I am very close to cancelling my subscription. We have had nothing but propaganda from them since 2007, and frankly, I don't want anything to do with them, nor any more of my hard earned money to go into their pockets. I'll have to think about it, but I very well may cancel in the near future.
You
Thank you , and have a great day! MAGA!
Netflix
I understand your position, and we value your feedback on the content we put on our platform. I'll gladly forward your commentaries to our content creators. However, keep in mind that we allow creative freedom to our producers, and Netflix never makes any kind of political statement, nor takes position with any ideology. We are an on demand service, and our customers have the freedom to choose what they want to watch, and what they want to avoid.
Netflix

I may have to dump my movies via mailed DVD deal with Netflix.
Why even question it. After several years as member I just cancelled disc and streaming. There are other providers availible. We need to ACTUALLY fight back instead of thinking about it. Anyone who considers themself a conservative or true republican who has not already cancelled their membership should be ashamed. We cant just expect everyone else to do it while we just keep the service.

I dumped netflix because they're obviously so fond of faggots, ragheads and wetbacks. They've got whole catalogs of that nonsense.
I watched "Get The Gringo" with Mel Gibson and suddenly Netflix fills my cue with messycan speaking movies.

Actually, I’m looking forward to watching their new show:
“Dreams of My Life and Times at Gitmo”
Maybe they’ll call it “Kenyan Days at Gitmo”
Perhaps, “Traitor’s Price”
If it is a documentary, Q would be able to provide the details
