Obama Gets $400,000 A Pop For Wall Street Speeches
2017-09-18
"At some point, you've made enough money." Who's gonna believe that poppycock?
[Bloomberg] 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.

#4  Evidently he doesn't, "at some point have enough money."

#3  He'd be a fool not to. And I like the idea of using Champ's speaking engagement itinerary as a personal boycott list.

#2  What about Hilly and Billy? Isn't Obama cutting in on their turf? Are they still in demand?

#1  He was doing this before, just now he can do it in the open. How else did he get so rich in office?
