Looks like a commie to me.

Barack and Michelle Obama are raking in the cash, thanks to the influence of a former campaign supporter.
The couple last week signed a creative production deal with Netflix that one entertainment-industry source said could be valued at more than $50 million.
Ted Sarandos, a major campaign contributor for Obama and the streaming giant’s creative-content chief who oversees an $8 billion budget, helped to broker the deal, the source told The Post.
Sarandos and his wife, Nicole Avant, bundled nearly $600,000 in contributions to Obama from their friends and associates during the 2012 presidential campaign.
The couple is friends with the Obamas, and Avant served as the US ambassador to the Bahamas from 2009 to 2011, during the former president’s first term.

"How it works: Netflix exec & wife bundle big donations to Obama in '08. Wife is rewarded with ambassadorship. Now Netflix exec steers $50m contract to Obamas through 'Higher Ground Productions.'"
Drop netflix. To not do so is to contribute to this.
Lots of pay and play going on, there :- /
Wish I could cancel my Netflix account, AGAIN....and, again :)
Money laundering scams run thru the Bahamas pay well .
The America Hating Muslim and she beast will do anything for cash .
Just more corrupt Dem Grifters .
Clinton Part II .
cowardly if you don’t cancel Netflix, Hush-up .
“Giant A”. Appropriately named just missing an “H”.
This was clearly just some bogus payoff deal from the get-go.
Netflix slush fund. What in the world do the Obamas know about producing anything, because they let their daughter intern for Harvey, or had Jay-Z to the White House?
I find it weird that we even need an “ambassador” to the Bahamas. A tourist resort.
I agree but if you want a streaming service there are no services that are not run by left wing true beleives.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. The money behind the Marxist. The albatross around the necks of the low IQ.
Damnit, I can’t. I don’t even have regular TV and I sure as Hell ain’t paying $10 to go to the movies. But I am pissed at this and wrote Netflix a letter.
Welfare for the elite. With the use of OPM, a self-made SCUMBAG Marxist.
Smells strongly of pay for play shxx.
Crooks are known to sail their loot down to the Bahamas, then take a local flight to Grand Cayman where the stash is secretly banked.
Looks like a commie to me.
The article also contains a reference to the father of Nicole Avant.
His wikipedia story is another gem, including a brief reference to investments by Bill Cosby.

This makes me think about how ex-Presidents become so fabulously wealthy—like private-jet trips around the world wealthy. The Clintons and the Obamas are the poster children of this. A life of “community organizing” and “public service” and then they’re living in multiple compounds and getting book deals/video production deals worth 10s of millions of dollars a shot. We are no longer living in the times of President Truman taking a cab from the White House to catch the train back to Independence.
Note that Susan Rice joined Netflix last year as a member of their Board of Directors.
