Former President Obama feeds at the money trough, "earning" another $400,000 speaking fee

[BlueGin]

It's a bribe for monetary policies that kept Wall Street booming while Main Street suffered the worst economy since the Depression.

Exactly.

If this 400,000 will hasten his demise, I'm all for it.

The raw, naked greed of this man is embarrassing even long time supporters...

I have no problem with him making money on things like that, it's capitalism. But at the same time he is a hypocrite of the worst type. Fact

Wow, just wow. Did it cause you physical pain when you told that lie, or are you now so used to telling lies that you don't even feel it anymore?

The push to raise taxes on the wealthy or eliminate the loopholes is not even close to the same as saying "you can't be rich". This is a pretty obvious nuance don't you think?

Not to me. If you're going to play class envy politics, and then take easy money from Wall Street plutocrats for making one lousy speech that no one even wants to listen to, then you're a fucking hypocrite.

It's a bribe.

It's a bribe.

To do what, dope?

He's out of politics and no longer able to affect policy.

and no longer able to affect policy.

How so, dope?

You seriously don't think he has the ear, just like the Clintons, of various portions of congress?

are you really that naïve?

Democrats preach against the rich, but they have no problem cashing in when some Wall Street banker is handing them $400,000.

Democrats never at all preach against the idea of being rich.

Trump gives his paycheck away

A one percenter, donating his, public servant salary; how, Impressive.

Why is this a problem for you?
If some organization lobbies speakers and offers high fees, how is that Obama's issue?

Why does the right wing care how much a person with a work ethic, makes?

He puts up bullshit gestures for gullible idiots like you while making out like a bandit on this gig.

Everytime he stays at his Florida resort it is YOUR money in HIS pocket. And that's just a TINY glimpse into vast conflict of interest that is Trump organization headed by our President.

You think about that.

Yep.
This is just one small example.
Secret Service has spent $35,000 on golf cart rentals since inauguration: report

I guess they can't wait to get back to South America for a summit.

The raw, naked greed of this man is embarrassing even long time supporters...

Lol idiots like you drool for a day when someone would pay you 400k for showing up and giving a speech.

Take your "greed" comments and shove them up Trump's billionaire ass.

Trump actually built shit to make all that money, real shit like hotels, casinos, golf courses, etc. He didn't just get handed a check for yakking his jaw.

He didn't build anything, the workers did....

 

[Care4all]

The speech money is for his Presidential library, isn't it?

and they bought the wood, and the land, and paid for the clearances etc.

I have eggs, milk, flour and a lot of other ingredients necessary to make a cake in my kitchen.

But they don't make the cake, I do.

Because you are a worker.

Trump never baked any cakes, he ordered and sold them, which is a skill of it's own, but distictly different.

The thing about this skill is a huge advantage being born into it with all the cake buying power as a starting point.

Too difficult for some to comprehend......apparently.
