And most of them are Democrats the same party he likes to associate himself with.
So does Cliven Bundy and his militia which Fox News and Sean Hannity supports..
That's very irrelevant. The historic swap between the two major parties makes what you're saying just part of a name game.
Oh and that “fine person” who drove his car into the crowd attacking anti Nazi protestors.

Oh and all those republicans bombing abortion clinics and killing abortion doctors
I want to see old episodes of the Apprentice after seeing this news. I really liked Trump's show. I don't automatically hate Obama. I voted for both Trump and Obama because to me they felt like outsiders to the standard politicians and both bring a completely different skillset to mix things up.
I am still interested in what he will bring to Netflix.

First of all, that's irrelevant because platforms have changed significantly over time, and people associate with parties based on their current platform today, not the platform's position a hundred years ago.
Secondly, it's not true anyway. Most of them were in parties that don't exist today and which have aspects that are reflected in both modern-day Democratic and Republicans parties.
Former United States President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have signed a multiyear production deal with Netflix that will see the two producing television shows and films for the service, reports The New York Times.
Though Netflix had been in negotiations with the Obamas for several months, Apple was rumored to be interested in working with the duo had the Netflix deal fallen through. Apple has been developing a slew of original television shows, and a deal with Michelle and Barack Obama would have been a big win.
Obama's deal with Netflix will allow for him to create content that will reach millions of people both in the United States and internationally through a new production company he created alongside Michelle Obama called "Higher Ground Productions."

According to Netflix, the Obamas will create "scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features" that are meant to highlight the issues and themes the president worked on during his eight years in office.Obama has said that he does not plan to use Netflix to wage a public campaign against current president Donald Trump or to fight against conservative media outlets.
While Apple did not secure a deal with the Obamas, the company has more than a dozen original television shows in the works at the current time. Most of the shows are dramas, with one real estate-related docu-series in the works. Apple does not have any politically-oriented shows planned, and is said to be aiming to keep its content family friendly.

THANK GOD they aren’t getting anymore from me!!
Except Obama hasn't, and never did any of those things. Which is exactly why racists like you and other people on the far-right hate him so much.
Because not only did he win, but also because he is a better person than you. And you can't stand that. So you do everything you can project your own racism and hatred onto him.
I was gonna leave this one alone but just can’t. If you look at the facts... not the opinions of talking heads but read all the reports and paid attention to the indisputable facts you would understand that as of right now there is evidence Hillary’s campaign did in fact collude with the Russians. The thing is... it doesn’t matter because collusion isn’t illegal... Trump is a con man no doubt about it but don’t for a second pretend the other team hasn’t been lying, cheating, and stealing their way to the top for awhile now. Democrats need to acknowledge this crap and denounce it and demand resignations of those responsible for corrupt behavior. That’s the leadership we need. Not “corrupt but anti Trump so we like them”.
I mean where half of the people live. Half of a population doesn't decide who's deemed most loved nor who wins an election as we've learned.
I actually forgot to add the /sarcasm after the anti police remark.
This does nothing to address my concern with their conclusion which was where they got their sample info.
Man. At least check to see if your hysterical claim has been debunked before you post it.

However, you knew they weren't Taliban when you posted it, didn't you?
You know full well that the artwork by the Obama 'artist' is anti-white, militant fantasy art. Calling it similar to the theme presented in all of your 'Biblical' examples is disingenuous. However, you already know that.
If there was proof, the DoJ would have no issue prosecuting her as well. There's very simple reasons why the Uranium story is bogus, but then again the right has a hard time accepting facts, especially as it pertains to Clinton or Obama.
Don’t waste your data.

There are no white people in the Bible. What’s your point?
The funny thing is that the Mujahideen directly morphed into Al-Qaeda when the US didn't leave Saudi Arabia as they promised...which directly brought us 9/11.
So it's funny that it's not the Taliban, but instead monsters of our own creation (like most terrorist organizations whom are useful to us until they're not). Remember, these "freedom fighters" are the guys that Rocky III pays homage to in the ending credits.
I’m not talking about the uranium story. I’m talking about the Steele dossier. The details in that dossier came from Russian sources and were used to start an investigation in to the Trump campaign. That is collusion... with Russians.
LoL you won't be missed.

LoL why are you a racist? Were you taught that by your parents or did you just lose out to so many minorities that were better than you in life and now despise yourself so much you lash out at others?
They did not call themselves Taliban then. But you know as well as I do those “freedom fighters” were pieces of s**t who later turn Afghanistan into what it is today. Point is other presidents have associated with questionable people at one point or another. Doesn’t automatically make them the same or responsible for what someone else did.
And is t that portrait a take on Caravaggio’s original Judith Beheading Holofernes?? (If I remember my art history correctly)
