Jimmy Carter builds homes for people. Barack Obama builds a fortune for himself.
A contrast in Democrats.
That’s all you’ve got?? Loser…
Let me guess. You voted for Bernie in the general election because Hillary was imperfect.
Stupidest fucking troll anywhere. Don’t they give lessons?
Higher Ground? As in “we go high”? Was “Capitulation Nation” already trademarked?
I think “Higher Ground” is a nod to Stevie Wonder.
How can you write such things?
Obama only made $400,000 per Wall Street speech after leaving office! Obama only made about $15 million selling his books between 2005 and 2017.
But that money-hungry, greedy, fake socialist Bernie Sanders made a bit over $1 million dollars selling his book after Clinton kicked his butt in the primary. Then Clinton only made $13 million from her book after losing to Donald Trump.
People don’t want to hear about Democrats and money.
Jimmy Carter builds homes for people. Barack Obama builds a fortune for himself.
But they’re precious and charming and wonderful.
“Higher Ground is producing a feature film on Frederick Douglass…”
Aged Orange wants to know if Douglass will be playing himself…after all, he’s been doing some great things lately.
A bunch of public-service oriented stuff, almost like Schoolhouse Rock. If Trump manages to stay out of jail when he’s gone (let it be soon), he’ll be straight-on grifting.
Ooooooh, just wait until the first Emmy or Oscar rolls in for one of their projects.
Somebody(thing) orange and slimy will explode in fury!
Their Production of Game of Trumps?
Bringing good information to people in an entertaining way is a bad thing? Sure Jimmy Carter is a national treasure. So far, everyone born in the history of the world is not him.
But a film on Frederick Douglas, a documentary series based on Michael Lewis’ take n the Trump administration, a documentary about a Chinese factory opening in Ohio where US manufacturers had abandoned the city, a documentary about a summer camp for disabled teenagers, a series about lives overlooked by news and an entertaining and educational series for toddlers.
I don’t have a problem with this and don’t see it as selling out. They’re providing good information that otherwise would not be easily available. Plus, this isn’t the only project they’re working on.
I’m afraid that the Obama brand isn’t wearing well–at least with this former Obama fan. He’s as much part of the problem at this point as part of the solution. I don’t begrudge him and his wife enjoyable post-presidential careers in the entertainment business, but given the disastrous state of the union, maybe devoting yourself to the production of nonpartisan bromidic pap isn’t exactly what one would hope for from the most influential and admired couple on the planet. He’s an ordinary citizen now, sure–but ordinary citizens are shredding their usual priorities in order to try to stop the Republicans from destroying the country and the biosphere.
If Barack and Michelle stated that they were going to spend a chunk of the next year community-organizing blue voters in Milwaukee, Philly, and Detroit, we’d have 2020 wrapped up before the Democratic primary. Why not do that?
Higher Ground is producing a feature film on Frederick Douglass, adapted from David W. Blight’s Pulitzer Prize–winning biography.
Dump will watch that one because he prefers shows about living people.
Jimmy Carter inherited wealth from his father. Obama already does a lot of philanthropic activities and is trying to earn a living considering he’s still relatively young. But I’m sure you already know this and are just interested in taking cheap shots that have no merit
Oh, the horror; Obama doesn’t wear a hair shirt.
