Obama’s $400,000 Cantor Speech Makes Him Wall Street's Newest Fat Cat

[Old Rocks]

Hey dumb fuck, President Obama is merely following the SOP according to past President's Bush, Clinton, and Bush.

 

[Care4all]

Supply vs demand

Few ex presidents, low supply

Huge demand

Equals

Big bucks

Hey dumb fuck, President Obama is merely following the SOP according to past President's Bush, Clinton, and Bush.

I think that was the point.

 

[mdk]

It's amazing to me that some people here are shocked at the fact that Presidents make shit loads of money on the Mashed-Potato Circuit after their presidency ends.

 

[dannyboys]

You talk a lot of the same prattle as the rest of the Drudge dependent dross that litters this place.

Very astute man you are! Yes, it was prattle - on Obama's part.

Sadly, so was the part about The Obama's pride in America - on my part.

No....it was the liturgy of stupid on which you have been gorging for the past 8 years....

Michelle Obama's feelings about the US are shaped by her experience living in it......who the fuck are you, pampered poodle, to judge?

Yes 'MO' did do very well for 'itself' in America.
'It's' book about what it's like to be 'The First Lady Tranny' is due out next year.

The more a Democrat tries to say he's different, the more we discover they're no different than the rest of the fat cats in Washington. Bernie Sanders bought a beach front property after taking a bribe from Hillary to give him her support. Obama is no free to cash in on being president.

"Former President Obama is set to net $400,000 for speaking at a Wall Street health care conference; that's nearly twice what Clinton was paid to become one of the most expensive speakers on Wall Street.
Obama's speaking engagement at a conference run by Cantor Fitzgerald LP was confirmed by senior people at the firm, according to Fox Business."

Twice the price of Clinton: Obama to net $400K for Wall street speech​

Obama sold America out to it's enemies and now he's cashing in.......just like everyone else does.
Strange how other than the corrupt Obama judge blocking yet another Trump executive order, the biggest story is Congress claiming that Michael Flynn took money from Russia, despite the fact that Hillary did the same thing. And she never had to declare that she was a Russian agent. I guess it's okay for Democrats to take money from Russia and from Wall Street, but not Republicans.

Yet another double-standard set up by the corrupt left and the media cronies.

You right wingers are just jealous. Sour grapes. We had the smart pres, you've got the bumbling Gomer.

 

[rightwinger]

Obama is a Superstar

People will pay big money for speeches, books, public appearances

 

[JakeStarkey]

That's how ex pres's fund their libraries.

Next.

 

[Political Junky]

Good for Obama.

 

[rightwinger]

Is this the new pay to play strategy? Reward a politician AFTER his term? Would avoid illegal payment laws wouldn't it?

Obama’s $400,000 Cantor Speech Makes Him Wall Street's Newest Fat Cat

When he was president he called them “fat cats,” but now he’s likely thanking them for a huge payday.

Former President Barack Obama, less than 100 days out of office, has agreed to speak at a Wall Street conference run by Cantor Fitzgerald LP, senior people at the firm confirm to FOX Business. His speaking fee will be $400,000, which is nearly twice as much as Hillary Clinton, his secretary of state, and the 2016 Democratic Party candidate, charged private businesses for such events.

Obama has agreed to speak at Cantor’s health care conference in September and will be the keynote luncheon speaker for one day during the event, people at the firm tell FOX Business. These people say Obama has signed the contract, but the company, a mid-sized New York-based investment bank, is waiting to coordinate with the former president before making a formal announcement.

These people add that Obama could ultimately back out of the arrangement depending on his schedule and other concerns such as adverse publicity.

A spokesman for the former president didn’t return a call for comment; a spokeswoman for Cantor said the firm is not in a position to comment just yet, but would not deny that Obama has agreed to speak to the firm and at the $400,000 fee.

News of Obama’s speaking deal with Cantor, which had yet to be reported, comes as the former president made on Monday his first public comments since leaving office after an extended vacation. In those comments to college students at the University of Chicago, the president spoke broadly about the need for public service and studiously avoided any mention of the current president, Republican Donald Trump, or how he intends to make a living now that he’s a private citizen.

obama got into politics to do good, and he's done very good indeed. Not to worry though, I'm sure he will donate most of this money to help the poor, sick, abused, downtrodden etc. Say 5%?

Tax returns show that Obama donates much more than 5%

Trump? He is afraid to even show what he donates

Not jealous at all. The point is obvious. Obama campaigned on sticking up for the poor and yet all along he has thrown in with the rich. This simply is icing on the cake.

Obamacare extended healthcare coverage to millions of poor Americans who could not afford healthcare otherwise
Obama extended college benefits to the poor

What did Obama do that "stuck it to the poor"?

No. I'm still waiting for the prick to leave....along with all of his influence. But every time we read the headlines his criminal acts become public. Yesterday it was about his lies on releasing enemies of the state to Iran in his one-sided legacy building Iranian nuke deal. Today it's his crooked judge helping rapists and murderers stay on our streets. Tomorrow it'll be something else.
