American Thinker: For a guy who said, “at some point, you’ve made enough money,” and a gal who said, “someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more” the Obamas sure rake in plenty of dough.
Unless installing an in-ground pool in the yard of an $8.2-million home located in a fancy Washington, DC neighborhood is considered spreading the wealth? Since, leaving the White House the duo seems to be gathering, not “spreading, the wealth.”
Fresh out of the White House, Michelle and Barack began “leveling their playing field” with a joint book deal in excess of $65-million penned with Penguin Random House. Let’s face it, $65-million is not a bad payday for people who earn oodles of capital reiterating the same hardscrabble story about impoverished childhoods, suffering racial injustice, and how understanding gender inequity and the plight of poor people is something only they can do.
The $65-million the Obamas will earn on their books will trickle into the couple’s bank accounts in dribs and drabs, first for Michelle, whose long-awaited memoir is due out in November and is entitled: “Becoming.”
While the Mrs. is busy showing up angry on book tours, hubby will be pleasantly giving speeches at $400,000 a pop where he can pontificate about community organizing and commiserate with the problems poverty-stricken Americans suffer. And while payroll is processing Barack’s speaking stipend, the former president can continue to bide his time with extemporaneous musings about American prejudice, minority mistreatment, and how Trump-style capitalism is a global blight.
Just recently, the Obama $65-million+pie expanded, receiving a fresh infusion of cash from internet entertainment company Netflix. Netflix is perfect for the Obamas because the network’s programming includes liberal topics that cover subjects such as sexual awareness in children and normalizing abortion.
It was a top Obama campaign contributor named Ted Sarandos that provided the Obamas the opportunity to community organize 125-million Netflix subscribers in 190 nations worldwide. Sarandos is the chief content officer and manager of the $8-billion Netflix budget who brokered a deal that industry sources say could be worth more than $50-million for Mr. and Mrs. “You Didn’t Build That.” The rest is here
Lay off the brother and his squeeze….have you seen the price of arugula at Whole Foods?
How much can it cost to keep his wookie in imported banana leaves? And it looks like she dresses out of a goodwill collection box so that can’t be a big problem. Choom is sold openly and at market prices so he doesn’t need all that money.
When one of those two croaks, I will take the day off and celebrate
Insight has never been a burden to the Left.
I long for the day I will urinate on Barky’s grave.
Shame on America if it makes me wait until I must do it by splitting open a catheter bag.
Uhh … all that bullshit was for YOU … not for THEM.
Public consumption, not a philosophy to live by.
But that’s sort of the whole deal on “socialism” anyway … Bernie gets his three houses, Stalin had his 4 Dachas, the Clintons have their 5 estates, Soros and Bloomberg have their $Billions, private armies, hit men … and the “common folk” – the “proletariat” get the crumbs and rotten tater peels.
Just for shits and giggles, download pictures of Mugabe’s estate in Harare – it puts Buckingham Palace to shame – not really to shame but it’s pretty extravagant for a “communist.”
See how that works?

I honestly don’t care how much money anyone has or how fast they earn it. It’s not my business.
I honestly don’t care how people spend their earned money. That’s not my business either.
Although, I do have the ability to point to the greater fool and it’s not Obama.
How about we write him and ask for some of his money.
At some point, you’ve bummed and mooched off of Richard Branson’s island and yacht enough.
Well they deserve it cuz they’re smahtah than us.
*gag*
Think they’ll give anything to those community organizations Barry worked on when he was in Chicago?
Ya. Me neither.
These people are nothing but scammers.
His entire life was a fraudulant play act. Good for him learning how to soak whatever he can out of the system. He and the Wookiee will both burn in Hell, and that is our only consolation.

With a little luck, maybe Blind Justice well make there stay here on earth a living Hell in a Federal prison.

Obozo ruined healthcare for all of us,
the least we should get is a clean whack at his head with an aluminum bat.
If he still wants his busted head he can keep it. M’kay?
