Have you wondered how Barack Obama got his Netflix deal? Yes, he’s the former president and yes he has a big following. But he also has no experience in producing films/television. And what he ‘produced’ for America failed spectacularly.
Well, wonder no longer. Can we say pay for play?
From Daily Caller:
A top campaign bundler for former President Barack Obama was instrumental in securing a Netflix deal for the former president and former first lady Michelle Obama, a new report reveals.
Netflix creative-content chief Ted Sarandos, who bundled just under $600,000 in contributions for Obama’s 2012 campaign, “helped to broker the deal,” New York Post reported on Saturday, citing an unnamed source.
The personal ties between Sarandos and The Obamas run deep, the Post noted.
