Former President Barack Obama was widely mocked on social media after he shared a list of his favorite personal films of 2023.

On the social media platform X, scores of users who came across the list were quick to point out that three of the films were produced by Obama and his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama.

“Earlier this year, writers and actors went on strike to advocate for better working conditions and protections. It led to important changes that will transform the industry for the better,” Obama wrote in the Dec. 27 post.

He added, “Here are some films that reflect their hard work over the last year — including some like Rustin, American Symphony, and Leave the World Behind that we were proud to release” through the production company Higher Ground.

Obama included three titles from 2023 – “Rustin,” “Leave the World Behind” and “American Symphony.”

Each of his top three films was produced by Higher Ground, which he and his wife founded in 2018 and which produces content for Netflix.

Other films on Obama’s favorite list included “Oppenheimer,” “The Holdovers” and “Blackberry,” to name a few. while a day after releasing the list the former president amended it.

The post went viral, and Obama was dragged not only for the list, but also for including three films he produced at the top.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I walked into the office one morning and noticed something strange. Half of The Western Journal’s readership was missing.

 

It had finally happened. Facebook had flipped THE switch.

 

Maybe it was because we wrote about ivermectin. Or election integrity. Or the Jan. 6 detainees. Or ballot mules.

 

Whatever the reason, I immediately knew what to do. We had to turn to you because, frankly, we know you are the only ones we can trust.

 

Can you help? Every donation to The Western Journal goes directly to funding our team of story researchers, writers and editors who doggedly pursue the truth and expose the corrupt elites.

 

Can I count on you for a small donation? We operate on a shoestring compared to other news media companies, so I can personally promise that not a penny of your donation will be wasted.

 

If you would rather become a WJ member outright, you can do that today as well.

 

We will use every single cent to fight against the lies and corruption in high places. And as long as we have your help, we will never give up.

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
