So far, Netflix gave the biggest bribe: $65 million to produce seven films.
(That ain't working. That's the way you do it. Money for nothing and your flicks for free.)
From LA Biz: "The Obamas’ first slate of projects for Netflix includes a Frederick Douglass biopic and a kids show from one of the creators of 'Drunk History.'"
They are mainly documentaries. I am sure Douglass will be transformed from a crusty and reliable American into a socialist.
Liberal as hell as billionaires amuse themselves with socialism knowing their money is safe.
What a long way the Obamas have come since the University of Chicago Hospital bought the senator off with a part-time, $300,000 a year no-show job for his wife.
Now they split $65 million as no-show producers. Well, show-up-for-the-photo-op producers.
“Right now I’m actually surprised by how much money I got,” the 44th President said in his address to more than 10,000 people gathered in Johannesburg, South Africa, on Tuesday. “There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”
ReplyObama July 2018 to an adoring mob.
I guess he or Michelle figured he was wrong. Now he flys on the private jets of his new 'clients' but soon his own I'm sure.
Gerald Ford used to charge$10000 for a private meeting with private citizens when he lived in Vail. No one objected because he had very little influence to peddle and was a nice guy who had lived an unblemished life. Obama seems to be aiming at bigger payouts by far. If he can produce a winner in the primaries he will definitely make his phone calls worth big money. Netflix is already convinced he can help them but he is looking to take the portfolio of friends the Clintons threw away, the one Sue Ellen liked to peruse on Dallas, as thick as an old Manhattan phone book.
