As much as I respect the Obamas, I think that this is beneath them. Seems like a money grab. There is much more important work to be done.

In the current environment, where ignorance is considered a virtue by our current elected leaders, anything that functions to educate the populace about the issues facing our country and the world can be an incredibly important public service.
 
Before this thread turns into a partisan horror show, please note it is possible to be critical of Obama's presidency and also not be a Trump fan boy. While he certainly was a breath of fresh air compared to Bush W in terms of style, in reality nothing changed, the bombing and missile launches continued.

Which is why I've been posting the way I have personally.

Obama seems like a good guy, but I don't think anyone can be a morally good person while running the empire. Especially not one that expanded the use of illegal assassination programs, killed American citizens with said program, and expanded our military footprint around the world.

I don't think it's possible to be a morally good person AND run a military/economic empire. It just can't be done, unless you're trying to dismantle it...but that will get you killed.
 
Apple is very upset they missed out on this deal. It sounds like it will be a barrel of laughs.

According to unconfirmed sources, on each show of their new Netflix series, Barack and Michelle will interview via satellite one guest who was deported as part of Obama's eight-year record-breaking rampage of 2.5+ million deportations (ABC News). At a projected 2.5 million episodes, it will make it the longest-running show in television history.

One planned movie will explore the familles of innocent civilians targeted and killed by illegal drone strikes, including children and other people outside of war zones, and drone strike that killed 14 civilians at a wedding. (The Guardian). The film will include an interview with George W. Bush, who is proud of his successor's record on these issues and continuing the US presence in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as keeping Guantanamo Bay open. The two former leaders of the free world will joke about the good ol' days when as president they could each commit war crimes with effective immunity. At one point during the interview, the camera will cut away to Obama's Peace Prize.

Hillary Clinton will also be featured on a Netflix spin-off of Obama's show. Donald Trump, not to be outdone, will sign a deal with Apple where he will host a show of all the people he has assaulted, paid off, swindled, fired, and/or insulted using thinly veiled sexist and racist comments. Although as per usual with Trump, his show won't be quite as good as Obama's — his content provider (Apple) isn't as good as Obama's (Netflix), and the show won't be as popular — but Trump will claim his show is the best. He'll also say that it has more viewers than Clinton's show, if you don't count the millions of people who illegally stream her show of course.

Exactly, that's why he was richly rewarded by Goldman Sachs as soon as he was out of office. For services rendered.

Obama was the most racist president in our history. Who encourages thugs to shoot cops? Who hires a painter that depicts the decapitation of white women to also paint his self-portrait? Who brings a Muslim kid who built a clock that looked like a bomb to the White House? Answer to all, Obama.

Your psychological projection is staggering.

Yup. Now, he was certainly statesmanlike for sure, but America’s foreign policy over the last 40 years has killed literally millions of people so just having a smiling reassuring fascade doesn’t mean much to me....both parties are drenched in blood on behalf of corporate power, as Smedly Butler pointed out decades ago BEFORE we were a “unipower” (who’s time is luckily dwindling).
