Yesterday Netflix announced that the Obamas have signed a deal with them to create a multi-year contract to make films, series, documentaries and docu-series for the 125 million people that have Netflix accounts world-wide.
President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have entered into a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for Netflix, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features.

The former President and the First Lady will be working on different shows either in front or behind the camera. It’s been known ever since Obama's term in office came to an end that he had an interest in digital media and was looking to get involved in it.
After Netflix’s announcement on Twitter, many conservative, republican, Trump supporters began to speak out about the outrage that is Obama coming to Netflix. They have started a campaign to boycott Netflix due to Obamas involvement.

What’s up with #Netflix ? First Susan Rice put on the board of directors and now Barack and Michelle Obama producing liberal hate shows. I cancelled 2 months ago. Its no longer Netflix . It’s New World Order propaganda tv. ?? #NoThanks #Obama

Canceled my Netflix as soon as Obama & Rice got on board. Ppl are tired of forced Social Justice in entertainment. Big anti-hero non-pc hit is #CobraKai. Disney should take notice too.

Most people are delighted to be seeing Netflix take on the Obamas and what they'll have to offer to the public. Obama supporters are excited to see the new series, and are laughing at the boycott movement set up by Trump supporters.
Just imagine!! As Trump is in the midst of impeachment Barack and Michelle Obama could be in the midst of winning that Emmy Trump never got, for their new Netflix series.
I'm pretty sure some heads would actually explode.

Conservatives are more outraged about Barack and Michelle Obama's Netflix deal than the Santa Fe High school shooting/gun violence in America.

The Obamas are going to be staying in the lime light with this new contract and creating informative shows for us eager viewers. Even though the campaign to boycott Netflix is underway, I predict this attention will only strengthen Netflix's sales, rather than have them shut down. Over ll the reaction to the Obamas coming to Netflix have been pretty positive and Twitter is doing its best to predict what will come:

The Obama Netflix show:
Barrack Obama plays a mild mannered former president. He develops lung cancer and is poor. With no other options he Barracks Bad and decides to start cooking meth. How far will he go?
All episodes of Netflix's "Barracking Bad" will stream this July 4th
