During his time as President of the United States, Barack Obama promoted the sale of Boeing planes - including the 737 Max 8 planes - around the world.
"I'm expecting a gold watch from Boeing at the end of my presidency because I know I'm on the list of top salesmen at Boeing," Obama said at an export forum at the White House in September 2013.
Of course, Obama got more than just a gold watch from Boeing when he left the White House.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Boeing donated $10 million to the Obama presidential library and museum in Chicago.
Earlier this year, Obama dropped in to speak to a Boeing leadership retreat at a swank resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.
While pushing the sale of Boeing planes around the world, the Obama administration was at the same time fast tracking a dangerous deregulatory process at the Federal Aviation Administration that effectively put the corporations in charge of the safety certification process - and that in effect put Boeing in charge of certifying it's faulty MCAS software that led to the tragedies in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
"I asked Boeing in December after the Lion Air crash to ground the Max. Boeing refused."
