April 29, 20179 yr Noone is angry Obama took money from Wall Street I specifically said I would do the same. I just said after 8 years of making them out to be evil and then accepting their money, make his words mean nothing and a hypocrite. I'm not angry and I'm not shocked. If someone took a speaking fee to go to a prison and address criminals, does that mean they have no ethics and are hypocrites because they talk against crime?

April 29, 20179 yr This is the same President Obama who bailed out Wall Street, right? The same guy who's Justice Department declined to prosecute anyone involved with bringing on our latest recession? I'm supposed to be fine with that, but somehow surprised or outraged that he takes some money to give a speech after he lost all his power? It's amazing how we have to draw sides then praise everything on one and demonize everything on the other.
April 29, 20179 yr There have been liberals who have criticized Obama for taking the money and giving the speech. Roland Martin covered it on his news show this morning but I missed the names. I'll try to find a clip. Trevor Noah has had the greatest response to this situation. :lol2: :lol2: He often does.
April 30, 20179 yr I don't have a problem with him getting paid, did anyone not expect this? What would have been news worthy, would have been if he had kept the same positions he spouted for years when he was railing against Wall St and Wall St types from the podium and turned down the $400K. As much as some like to say he was "Different" he is just another hypocrite politician, just like the majority of them on both sides of the aisle. I wonder in Ms. Warren or Mr. Sanders are going to call him out for this? Bernie really attacked Hillary on her ties to and speaking engagements on Wall St, will he go after the former POTUS? Ruth Marcus - The Washington Post Ask and ye shall receive: Indeed, some of those to Obama’s left have focused on the Wall Street aspect of the deal. “I think it just speaks to the power of Wall Street and the influence of big money in the political process,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) told Bloomberg News’s Steven Dennis. “I think it’s unfortunate.” Similarly, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy that she was “troubled” by the speech. Yes, I have zero use for Bernie and Elizabeth.
April 30, 20179 yr Why? I've never liked Bernie and I don't agree with most of his politics. I think he is a politician to the core and I don't believe a word he says. I think he is as hypocritical as they come. I didn't vote for Hillary and I wouldn't have voted for Bernie either. I'm also petty and an Obama loyalist until I can be shown a good reason not to be an Obama loyalist/apologist/supporter. Elizabeth has now shown herself to be useless to me. The Democratic Party is in shambles right now. I look forward to the day of the party getting its act together and being useful once again.

You can thank your beloved President Obama for a lot of that.
