Obama's Wall St. speaking fees higher than Hillary's

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Now, I know it's normal for former presidents to make money on speaking fees - but when you have consistently railed against the rich of Wall St., and then you agree to speak to them for hundreds of thousands of dollars? That is just flat out hypocrisy.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Ahh, but for the liberal left, hypocrisy is perfectly okay within their own ranks.

This is why the liberal media is useless.

Baring everything else, his fee SHOULD be higher.

He was a president.

His pay grade is higher than her.

How does it compare the fees Bill Clinton charges?

I agree with that. But he shouldn't be doing it at all in light of everything he ever said about the evil of Wall St.

FNW · Guru

Why would Wall St. be hiring him? It's all about $$$.

Just a bunch of circle jerks with some money put in to make it even more savory.

True.

But someone organizing the event had to contact his representative to set up the engagement.

Maybe he feels that many Americans need to hear what he has to say and it's not that important who pays his fees.

She was First Lady for 8 years, a NY senator, Secretary of State, and the first female presidential candidate in history on a major political ticket.

He was a community organizer, a junior senator and President for 8 years.

I think it should equal out.

The Left wants to control everything. So, yeah lecture fees for a man versus a woman would be part of that control.

No, but he used his 8 years to create this atmosphere of hate. She makes a good point. Coulter can't speak, but Obama gets to? He is not president, anymore. And in this country - "all men are created equal."

I agree with this. If the forum wants to pay that much, good for them, knock yourself out. My undergrad Alma mater paid Bill $250K to speak soon after he left office, 20 years ago, that was an unheard of speaking fee. I right then and there canceled my annual donation to the University.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

That's fine now that he is out of office. But, paying the Clinton Cash machine when she was Sec of State, NO.

Obama had an unprecedented opportunity to really be a great President, to bring the nation together and to move us all forward. Instead, he choose the same old politics of division, class warfare, etc. He was a terrible President who spent his time dividing people for to promote his left wing agenda.

I didn't mean to imply that he alone was "responsible" for race relations.

But, remember, he was the candidate that the KKK supported?

And, after his election, the number of hate crimes increased. Some people assumed that "Make America Great" equaled "Make America White."

Off the top of my head, I remember stories about Muslim women having their hijabs ripped off their heads. There was also an incident involving a grade-school robotics team being told "Go back to Mexico."

He has no control over who supports or endorses him...The KKK probably endorsed him because he was running against a woman. They do NOT want women in power.

As for what people assumed, how is that his fault either? People assume schit about people all the time. He doesn't have any control over other people's paranoia...

LOL, you do know that Sen Byrd was the head of KKK for a long time, BTW he was a democrat. And Hillary had many KKK supporters. Trump ignored anyone from the KKK that said they supported him. You are once again believing the trumped up non stories by the Left.

Yep, and your party is still doing it. They continue the narrative of Russian relations during the campaign which is stupid and a non story, but they keep the narrative going as if its a huge deal and many liberals now think it is and OBTW there is zero evidence that Trump even spoke with Putin but even is he did SFW. It is in no way illegal to talk to any Russian. So what is that narrative about? Only to brain wash the libs into believing there was something devious going on.
