So Obama's Netflix deal was about attacking Trump all along
By Monica Showalter

After going to great pains to assure his media allies that his unconventional Netflix deal was all about inspiring and telling uplifting stories, former President Obama got down to business with what he really had in mind:

Getting Trump.

Apparently, that's what passes for 'uplifting' for the embittered ex-president. When he said uplifting, he meant uplifting himself.

Here's what the New York Times is reporting:

    Former President Barack Obama’s production company has bought the rights to the Michael Lewis book “The Fifth Risk,” its first known acquisition since it signed a deal with Netflix in May.

    Lewis made the announcement on a Katie Couric podcast episode that aired on Thursday. Deadline reported the acquisition earlier this week.

    “The Fifth Risk” tracks the messy transition from the Obama administration to the one headed by President Trump, as inexperienced appointees take over important bureaucratic jobs. In particular, the book examines what Lewis says was the bungling of day-to-day operations at the Agriculture, Commerce and Energy departments.

Now there's a shocker.

I've always thought that Obama was on the up and up about everything he does......     wink777

Will he tell the part about how Trump could not staff his Departments because congress would not act on his appointments?

I think the Big 0 is confused.  This is what happened when he took office.

Truth to tell,I am going to be shocked if it doesn't get an Emmy. Maybe a Golden Globes and Oscars for the lead actors. Not even if it pulls in fewer than a dozen viewers.

NOBODY is more Left-Wing PC than Hollyweird. Nobody. It's all about sending a message and creating new standards.

I have no doubt, even though I can think of no more boring a topic. The perfect project for Obama. I wonder if he'll manage to work a few dozen self references into it.

I'm not a betting man by nature,but I'd like a chance to put a few bucks down on that one. He almost makes Bubba looks shy by comparison.

Really don't care to watch Obama or anything about him.  Had enough of his racist narcissism  for 8 years.  In fact, I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and the like to get away from  politics.  Give me an old movie or TV show any day.

A few dozen?

Yes.  In the first commercial.

I saw a brief news clip of Bammy excoriating Trump. He is a small, bitter, angry man, distraught at his anti-American agenda being dismantled.
Principles matter. Words matter.
