Yeah..... maybe they should look up how Netflix operates lol

It's funny how they think they understand geopolitics, but can't figure out how something as Netflix works. And then those same people call others '*******s' or the like...
 
Wow...Scrolling through the comments of this story really shows how divided our country (and world) truly is. In my opinion, it is really sad. Obama did some great things and some not so great things. I look forward to seeing what comes of this show. One thing that I think can be universally agreed upon is that he is an amazing speaker.

Who brings a Muslim kid who built a clock that looked like a bomb to the White House? Answer to all, Obama.

Here's a picture of a real homemade bomb:

Now, you tell me, if a good old white kid had brought this to school, you really think it would be seen as a bomb?
 
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.
Thank you for your post, comrade. Mother russia thanks you for your fine service. You can pick up your socialism stipend on Tuesday.
 
Give me a break. 12 presidents kept black human beings as their personal property.

That doesn’t mean they were racist. Africans happened to be most of the slaves in the New World. But slavery historically was a condition all people could be held in. If you want a real racist president go read Abraham Lincoln’s words. He clearly was a racist. He makes Richard Spencer seem mild.

I think Apple "losing" a potential opportunity is causing some to think that they lost a competition or bidding war or something. Despite that the article itself conveys, that it was "rumored" Apple would have only been interested if the Netflix deal didn't fall through. Well, the Netflix deal didn't fall through, thus, even if the rumor was true Apple isn't interested, and actually didn't lose anything. -- It seems more to me that Apple got wind of the deal Netflix was already working out and said, "we'd be interested if it doesn't happen." But there was no battle lost.


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.

Netflix gives them a platform to address many social, personal (well-being / life-development), and economic concerns. Few things have the potential to reach as many issues, for as many people. So I wonder what you perceive to be the more important work to be done, and / or what would be more effective.

They may get paid for this, but I imagine they also donate to charities and such. While it would seem they could interact with people on Youtube and other platforms for free, things like this will employee people.

But, I have no idea what goes on in their minds. I will look forward to the show, however.
