The Obamas are becoming a billion dollar brand - NY Post

[Booker T Garvey]

This is how it goes... Obama isn't breaking any molds. Presidents don't earn the most in office.

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

 

[Hopeofmypeople]

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

No he isn’t, his fortune is built on a pile of lies. He inherited two hundred million from his dad and has been spending that money since. Trump isn’t as rich as he would like people to think.

Huh? This article is literally about their business ventures POST presidency

But to answer you - jimmy carter, both Bush’s, Reagan, Gerald Ford

BRUH
Jimmy Carter cornered the humanitarian market post-presidency and used his influence to make shyt happen. Thats a brand.
The Reagan Brand might as well be the Jordan Brand of the Republican party. Trickle-down, blah blah blah is the cornerstone of their party's philosophy and they worship him

The Bush's are a political dynasty that spans generations. After he dropped out the last election, Jeb was part of a group who tried to buy the Marlins. The Bushes are very much a brand because they commodify Texas and Florida culture, respectively

Ford didn't do that because he never ran for, or wanted to be president, in the first place

Keep em coming

They’re contractors

They’re in charge of themselves

The Clinton’s are the ones who started that though, they’ve always just lingered around since the 90’s collecting checks

Lol i said 20 years which would indicate the clintons im agree with you.

 

[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

Those future Obamas of majority European ancestry will be living large.

I mean I’m not getting into all that. The man accumulated his wealth/stature/millions before his presidency - just stating unemotional non political facts

Lol jimmy carter is not wealthy bruh. Are you just being disagreeable for the sake of doing so?

 

[Koba St]

Obama dynasty coming soon

Yeah can’t wait to see Maliah and Sasha running for office with their white husbands and white looking kids standing next to them. black excellence

This family will be white in the next generation

But we had bush for 8 of those years though, he went away and started painting.

Now granted he left office with the lowest approval ratings ever, but he could’ve gone to TX and started a tractor trailer company or something and done well

George Bush wasn't exactly known for public speaking so what public figure stuff was he gonna do?

Clintons before did. So it isn't "new" you are being selective. Even Bush's daughter make public appearances and gets cheques on the family name.

The bolded is pure bullshyt.

Wealth isn't just about money. His influence, his long life, being known as a peacemaker (especially as a Christian), can be worth just as much, if not more, than money. But 7 million is wealthy btw. Not to mention all the money which those in his family and philanthropy shyt....

I would rather be influential like Carter than Bush or Clinton anyday. He is a great person.

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

Thats entirely different his family was already filthy rich but he still gets paid a shyt ton for speeches.

How? Name an instance where a president went to go work FOR somebody after their presidency in the private sector?

Bill Clinton started his OWN company in Harlem but please, I’m listening:
