Progressive paid by financial company, glaring hypocrisy there…'Obama Foundation' next?

Quote:Former President Barack Obama will be paid $400,000 to speak at Cantor Fitzgerald’s healthcare conference this September, according to a new report.

Obama, whose legacy item was the Affordable Care Act, will deliver the keynote address at the organization’s lunch in what will be one of his first paid speeches, Fox Business’ Charlie Gasparino reported Monday. Cantor Fitzgerald is a New York City-based financial services firm that specializes in fix incomes sales, institutional equity and trading.

The former Democratic community organizer and Illinois senator has focused his nearly 100 days out of office on relaxing at various locations around the globe and planning for his foundation’s library and community center in Chicago.

Good for him. Not his fault folks will pay him a crap load just to talk.

That'll work out to about $10K per lie.

Why is this hypocritical?

Off we go on the Clinton-esq gravy train.

Not until you man up and answer the question in the other thread. The moment I hand walked you through everything you asked, you ran off with your tail between your legs. I'm not putting any more effort into explaining anything to you if you arent willing to man up and do the same.

"We cannot only have a plan for Wall Street.

"We must also help Main Street," he said.

While "tough new regulations on financial institutions" are needed, the Illinois senator called for an emergency economic plan for working families.

Wonder how much Castro is going to funnel to Obama? Normalized relations with a communist Dictator and they own the Bacardi brand.

Edit Bacardi bought the rights to Havana Club brand. But that was stripped away and given to Cuba/Castro.

So we hate capitalism now?

Capitalism works. I hope he makes bank.

Obama can actually be an entertaining, outstanding speaker. When Hillary Clinton gets paid that kind of money, its just a pure bribe.

The kickbacks are rolling in nicely I see.
