The Barack Obama Foundation has seen its contributions soar The launch of Michelle Obama’s cross-country book tour for her new memoir, “Becoming,” last week is just the latest marker on the road to fabulous wealth for the former first couple, who are on their way to becoming a billion-dollar brand.

In addition to a $65 million book advance and an estimated $50 million deal with Netflix, both of which she shares with husband Barack Obama, the former first lady is poised to rake in millions from appearances on her 10-city US tour and sales of merchandise connected to her autobiography.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised at this. I’m disgusted, but not at all surprised. The Clinton’s blazed the path here, but they are the first, not the last, to become pseudo billionaires by selling influence. When all is said and done, I bet the Obama’s will far out-grift the Clintons.

Amazing, is it now, how politics can allow two people - neither of which has the talent to run a lemonade stand - to become rich.

And at the same time, these cretins can lecture us on the evils of capitalism and make statements on science and economics that reveal them as having less intelligence than a slime mold.

How is it that this “brand” can’t fill a high school gym less than 2 years after having been President?

This is just a conduit for payoffs and graft.

The only thing he has ‘fundamentally changed’ is the perception that he is ‘champion of the underdog’. lol. how many people warming their hands this morning after kicking the rats out and picking the roaches out of their food on the south side of chicago today have a billion bucks? how ‘lucky’ is obama that he ‘got out’ of the projects and left the rest of them to not live, but slowly die of ‘ideology’.

Barry has visions of becoming King Barackas.

Will he settle for King of America...or will it have to be King of the World?

The First Wookie finally got a job that she likes. Talking about how a fabulous diva rides her fake husband’s coat tail and cashes in on the race card. Good paying too.

working for themselves, or for God? Life and their time to pretend to be so great is short in comparison to eternity.
