How Netflix Spoiled Michelle Obama’s DNC Speech
Former First Lady's anti-greed screed doesn't match facts on the ground
Sorry, Democrats. Michelle Obama won’t square off against President Donald Trump this November.
The popular ex-First Lady focused her attention this week on Vice President Kamala Harris’ race to the White House. Obama stem-winder at Tuesday’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago attacked President Donald Trump and praised Harris.
Nothing unusual there.

It also included a personal moment she hoped would reflect well on her, Harris and the Democrats in toto.
The context? The accumulation of wealth and the moral clarity to spread it around.
“She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed,” Michelle Obama said [of her parents]. “They understood that it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning. So my mother volunteered at the local school.”
The corrupt press heard that sentiment and didn’t bat an eye. Everyone else in the country took a big, long pause.
Wait … what?
The Obamas’ personal wealth is substantial in 2024. Book sales. Speaking fees. And, for those who follow the entertainment space, their Netflix contract.
The Obamas joined Team Netflix in 2018. The official numbers behind the deal weren’t disclosed. At the time, the Trump economy was firing on all cylinders, the Hollywood bubble had yet to burst and marquee names like Ryan Murphy had inked Netflix deals far north of $100 million.
CNN’s sources described the Obamas’ contract as a high eight-figure deal. Suffice it to say Netflix made the Obamas rich.
Richer, to be precise.
That pact paved the way for Oscar-nominated documentaries like “American Factor” as well as fawning projects such as “Becoming.”
Yep, Michelle Obama is the biggest degenerate. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Democrats really wanted Michelle to replace Joe Biden as running candidate, but couldn’t do it, and were stuck with Kamala Harris.
Michelle Obama hates politics and DC. Dan Bongino was on her Secret Service detail and always heard her complaining about it. I know the Dems wanted her, but not even Barack could convince her to run. Believe it or not, she is the only person who could beat Trump in a fair election…yes, Democrats are dumb enough to vote for her.
I disagree, I don’t think Michelle O is likeable at all. The media loves her, Americans do not.
You left out the most important factor in the Netflix deal. While president, Obama gave Netflix regulatory relief that was worth billions to them. That’s why Netflix was more than willing to give the Obama’s a contract to make films for them – and to give them tens of millions up-front – and all for two people who had no experience in film making.
“Took”. Not earned. Took. Democrats view everything as an act of stealing because people getting stuff that doesn’t belong to them is the entire predicate of the Democrat Party.
One must decide if this is gaslighting at its finest to ensure fooling the masses of useful idiots who fawn over them or the liberal/leftist elite truly and irrevocably suffer from cognitive dissonance among many other mental diseases.
Either way, they remain degenerates.
