Obama getting paid

$400K large. comments libs?

Um. Good? He holds no government office?

What am I supposed to say? Just tell me.

great example right?

He should lobby for china and start selling "Obama Sports Jackets" over there. Maybe cut a deal with the chinese government. The jackets would have a hard mesh backing on the lapels so you couldn't put an American flag pin through them.

Every village needs one We have Blanch

What's the outrage du jour today?

liberal island village?

For what? I expect him to get paid for something sometime. Do you expect Trump to stop making money after he leaves office? If you have a problem with what he was paid for, then maybe try mentioning what that is and why we should have a problem with it.

speech to wall Street. one speech

Hmm. I'm not surprised, they got him into office and he made sure not to bite the hand that fed him. I bet this won't be the last speaking fee of this nature that he'll collect.

I don't know what he spoke about, but he could have saved everyone some time and just walked up to the podium, said "You're welcome," and collected his check. Payment for services rendered.

Is that a good enough comment for you, Blanch?

Holy shit! 400 K for one speech??

Niiiicceee!!

Obama!, you the man! Killin it.

Good thing the OP can't remember GOP saint Ronald Reagan going to Japan in '89 to give 4 speeches for $2M.  

That was $500K/speech which is the equivalent of $1M per speech in 2017.

Obama is clearly charging too ittle.


PS
Why no fiscal outrage about our current President mainataining 1 official residence in NYC and the unofficial "Winter White House aka Mar-a-lago that's costing taxpayers $3M per trip?

Elizabeth Warren: I'm 'troubled' by Obama's $400,000 speaking fee for healthcare conference

Yeah, she's troubled because she's not getting it.

This.

This is how most big name politicians make a living after politics. Who cares?

All those that had the "feeling running down their leg" when he got elected, telling us how different he was, don't ever try to say the Big O is anything but another corrupt politician now collecting his payback, between visits to his very expensive homes in DC, LA, and Hawaii.

It's a good thing those tax cuts are going to help you and I out the most. And the wall too. Don't forget how that wall is helping our lives. I'm just glad we're out of NAFTA now.

All these guys are just helping us out.

Let the man make his money. It's not his fault you guys got got by politics. Consider it a learning process (I.e. Stop getting got by con men) and start embracing capitalism instead of whining about how bad you are at it.

You must have a serious case of TDS, changing the subject, incoherent ranting, and I didn't even make any comparisons to any elected officials, past or present.
If I were to do that, obviously Obama learned well from the Clinton school of quid pro quo.

IB continues to live in his alternate reality.

Between Trump's trips and the security costs of his "official" residence, Trump Tower in NYC plus his trips to his Virginia golf resort and his use of Mar-a-laga as the "Winter White House" he is going to have the Federal government spend more than the last President spend in 8 years.

But what the real money spent is more bullshit from from FoxNews IB's favorite source for alternative truth.

Hey GRR, is this an either or thing? I thought we were talking about Obama? I thought Obamas took advantage of travel, and it appears Trump is doing the same, maybe worse. Seems like an area that needs some clarification in the job description on what is 'reasonable'.

Still doesn't change the fact that the Messiah Obama is in reality just a Clinton acolyte in the school of Quid Pro Quo.
