Obama collecting $400,000 a night for speaking at banker conferences

[ShootSpeeders]

I'd be happier if he was giving a lot of this away, but he's not running again. I recall Gerald Ford going onto corporate boards basically for a free payday. And Ford was the bravest, most patriotic man to be president in any of our lifetimes. He's not running again. I'm not sure what he'll do with the rest of his life. I guess he could teach law school. JFK wanted to be an academic.

Teach law school? Obama? He can barely read. OTOH there is affirmative action.

Good for Obama.

I don't mind people getting rich off of capitalism. it just sucks when they pretend to care about the poor.

That's what i say. I remember when Trump was asked if it is moral for him to use tax loopholes to reduce his taxes and trump said "What do you want? Stupid people?". He's not a hypocrite like Aunt Barry.

When you're a semi-literate affirmative action baby who can't even add up a column of numbers but have a great speaking voice, this makes sense.

Obama Goes From White House to Wall Street in Less Than One Year

sep 18 2017 Hillary Clinton says she made a mistake when she gave speeches on Wall Street after leaving government. Taking money from banks, she writes in her new memoir, created the impression she was in their pocket.

Her old boss doesn’t seem to share her concern.

Last month, just before her book “What Happened” was published, Barack Obama spoke in New York to clients of Northern Trust Corp. for about $400,000, a person familiar with his appearance said. Last week, he reminisced about the White House for Carlyle Group LP, one of the world’s biggest private equity firms, according to two people who were there. Next week, he’ll give a keynote speech at investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald LP’s health-care conference.

Obama is coming to Wall Street less than a year after leaving the White House, following a path that’s well trod and well paid. While he can’t run for president, he continues to be an influential voice in a party torn between celebrating and vilifying corporate power. His new work with banks might suggest which side of the debate he’ll be on and disappoint anyone expecting him to avoid a trap that snared Clinton. Or, as some of his executive friends see it, he’s just a private citizen giving a few paid speeches to other successful people while writing his next book.

It's "semi-illiterate" you fucking idiot. Not semi-literate.
And no one becomes editor of the Harvard Law Review by being semi-illiterate.

OOOOOOOp'sie!

Hussein was always a Big Bank lackey. He received more campaign cash from them than both McCain and Romney did. Most of his loyal followers don't know that, but it is the truth.

It's as if you don't even know what magna cum laude even means.

I know exactly what it means. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. All blacks get the benefit of affirmative action grading thru k-12 plus college.

If you really knew what it meant, you would know affirmative action has nothing to do with it.

Once again, you demonstrate abject ignorance.

Your envy is showing.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It really bothers you that a black man commands that kind of money, doesn't it?

HAHAHA. That's a good one. What bothers me is Aunt Barry being such an obvious tool of the banksters.

Tool?
They're paying him, dope.

Obama is speaking to banks?

I wonder why.

Oh, yeah. Like the man said: "That's where the money is."

 

[ABikerSailor]

At least the only thing Obama is doing is giving speeches to banks. Trump actually hired no less than 5 (FIVE) Goldman Sachs employees.

Remember when Trump warned us that is what Hillary would do?
