The news earlier this week that the former Presidential couple Michelle and Barack Obama had agreed to a multi-year contract with online-streaming giant Netflix to both produce and write documentaries and shows (see our related coverage) has been causing many to cancel their subscriptions.

With both Former Security Advisor Ms. Susan Rice on the Board of Directors and Mr. George Soros as the largest shareholder, many conservatives fear that forces will be working in the background to turn one of their beloved entertainment apps into a political push for the Democratic party.

As the financial details remain undisclosed, some on social media were left to question: “Will the Obamas be paid in pallets of unmarked bills covertly dropped off in the middle of the night à la Barry’s beloved Iran Nuclear deal” (as one Twitter user stated).

Meanwhile, multiple people stated that they had been proud and loyal Netflix subscribers for a decade or so, but would now immediately cancel the service over the news.

One of the best and most sincere reactions to the news of the Obamas joining Netflix, and thus having less time to help Democrats for the next Presidential election, came from former Mexican President Vicente Fox, who is asked what he thinks about the deal by TMZ.

Whilst at first he praises the couple, he quickly states what everybody thinks and says: “The should be promoting the Democratic party instead. Get away from shows, get away from making money. They can make money later.”
