They're retired from politics. They can do wut they want.

Only c00ns on thecoli would have a problem with this:dead:
Nobody has a problem, nobody really gives a damn...
The Obamas aren’t trying to disrupt the status quo, they want a comfortable spot within. Good for them, but nikkas need to let go of this narrative of them being “black leaders” or what have you. They’re not and that’s cool but don’t be out here perpetrating and using the social capital of native black Americans to get you where you wanna go...without putting anything back in

All the local mom and pop shops in my hood got posters of them goofies plastered everywhere...and next to riders like Malcom and Martin:russ:

My father believes Barack was sent from God and is in the Bible

And I went to a funeral about a year ago, and my uncles mother has her entire family tree’s photos engraved in a piece of wood - and a photo of Barack in the middle :snoop:

But seriously he gives people hope, lifts their spirits - I can’t shyt on that, but coretta and Martin they are not :manny:

Not always, barbera and George bush retired - not hating on the Obamas but let’s stop acting like this isn’t something new - they’re breaking new ground.

I mean Michelle’s book is doing great but she has a boss. They’re also about to produce content for Netflix - that too is owned by someone else

To go from being leader of the free world to having a boss is not something we’ve seen before :manny:
So getting paid millions upon millions to write books and produce content is a L because they don’t own the publishing house or Netflix? :heh:

The Obamas make A big chunk of thier bread doing public speaking.

Who is thier boss in that venture?

Barry and his wifey coming for billions :whew:

Stopped here, I never said they’re taking an L. I said and believe that they should get every dime coming their way - but at some point you cease being known as public servants and you just become entrepreneurs :francis:

I hope you dudes are snot bubble crying at the people pocket watching the Obamas at the NYP who wrote this article. I merely commented on and shared it. :manny:

Clintons became much richer after the presidency with speaking engagements

Bush was already from money and is just chilling in his ranch

Trump is in his 70s and will be tweeting from a private island somewhere

Obama was relatively young so still has a ton of opportunity to build a brand can't knock that

:patrice: Always? Most presidents retire into the sunset after being in office, the Clintons being one of the firsts that stayed out there like that.

Trump was a billionaire before becoming president, not after

:what: That's because most of them were old when they took the office.
Obama was one of the youngest US presidents in history. He retired at 55. fukk else is he supposed to do? :cosbyblaze:
:what:Do some of you think before you create threads?

:dahell: He’s the first president/politician to go from a public servant to being an entrepreneur in the private sector - same for Michelle.

It’s newsworthy you middle school dropout.

It’s never been done before - it doesn’t matter if he’s in his 30’s or his 70’s

STFU

none of y'all n1ggas is getting a CUT


none of their wealth trickles down to your broke azzes


In fact Obama and his banker friends I. E Jews help destroy y'all so called generational wealth

Barack could become an actor and full grown ass people will see it just something “cool” and call people haters for even rubbing their chins at it

What’s funny is people gave Barack shyt for those Wall Street speeches, I didn’t see a problem with them - but I get it. He’s doing new shyt, it’s gonna get a reaction.
