Bundling for Obama

Pay to play--bundling for Obama. But no scandal in that administration. Right?

"The Obamas have close ties with Netflix executives. Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, is married to Nicole A. Avant, who served as Obama's ambassador to the Bahamas from 2009 to 2011. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings was close to Obama during his presidency and sometimes attended state dinners, the report said."

"Ted Sarandos and Nicole Avant just made the top tier of Obama "bundlers," raising more than half a million dollars in one night. A second term for the president is just one of their goals."

Some of the Netflix offerings for children are just propaganda.

Ambassadorships are often for sale by both parties, but the way this worked out for Obama's future influence, wealth and career is stunning. The ultimate in “you scratch my back and I'll get yours later.”
