    First of all congratulations on that fat 400k speaking fee from Wall Street.  Secondly and more important, pay no attention to the Progressives in your party.  None of the big names will dare shame you.  I am pretty sure Bernie, Elizabeth and Chuckie will continue to remain quiet on the issue.

    Even better news is this is only the beginning to profiting off your Presidency.  As you will remember the Clinton's claimed they were broke and needed to borrow money for a down payment on a house when they left the White House.  Now they are worth hundreds of millions.  I am guessing that 1% status is in your near future.

    It is hard to believe that Wall Street  would even want to listen to O. He knows absolutely nothing about Wall Street. He will probably tell his audience that they 'did not build that'. He just will not go away like a normal ex President. He still has Valerie Jarrett and' lying' Susan Rice by his side. This swamp needs to be drained.

    LOL 

    Barking up the wrong tree aren't you?

    Trump & Family are wide open for business.

    And not for a measly $400K .

    Just to confirm darkhorse. Susan Rice will go down in American history as one of the most notorious liars. Example. Benghazi was caused by a video. To answer your question. Yes. I voted for Trump.

    I'll bet you that Trump receives more money for speeches when his presidency is over.  Of course, when that does occur, you'll pretend like you never complained about Obama.  One thing I've learned from this election is that Republicans are huge hypocrites and I can't really believe virtually anything they ever say.

    Yeah this never happens, wait it happens every single presidency.

    Not that there is a good avenue for ex-presidents to cash in but I would take wallstreet over the Saudis any day.

    Fmr Persidents speaking fees are chicken feed............

    The real money is in the books.....

    Barack and Michelle Obama have signed book deals that may be the most lucrative ever for White House memoirs.

    While the financial terms have not been officially disclosed, published reports have put the dollar figure Penguin Random House paid anywhere from $30 million to $65 million for both books.

    I can't wait to read Chewbacca's new book about what foods you shouldn't eat and how to grow large watermelons and kumquats in a small garden..

    Fmr Persidents speaking fees are chicken feed............

    The real money is in the books.....

    Barack and Michelle Obama have signed book deals that may be the most lucrative ever for White House memoirs.

    While the financial terms have not been officially disclosed, published reports have put the dollar figure Penguin Random House paid anywhere from $30 million to $65 million for both books.

    I can't wait to read Chewbacca's new book about what foods you shouldn't eat and how to grow large watermelons and kumquats in a small garden..

    Speaking with CNN's Suzanne Malveaux,Bernie Sanders ( new leader of the Democrat Party) labeled the transaction "not a good idea" and said he was "sorry President Obama made that choice."

    "I just think it does not look good," Sanders said. "I just think it is distasteful -- not a good idea that he did that."

    It wouldn't be a story at all except for his hypocritical stance against Wall Street.  Even his own party has a problem with this.  Especially the Bernie Sanders progressives.  Kinda hard to rail against Wall Street and then take their money.  I personally don't have a problem with it but then again I'm not a progressive either.

    Let's be honest though.  No one has made more money off of being president than the Clinton's.  It's not even close.  They went from being broke to becoming a 1%er.  That's kinda like hitting the Powerball lottery.

    Let's also not forget that the rich got richer during his presidency either. Let's also not forget no one went to jail.

    My guess is since he understands the plight of the poor he will donate that book money to the poor.  Something tells me he felt like a conservative when he signed that book deal.  Congrats Obama for shopping your book deal to the highest bidder.  Welcome to the American way.
