I mean I hear stories about celebs getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to DJ at a party a lot. Tbh I'd go to a Ba-rock Obama concert so maybe he should do that instead. This is completely normal but apparently people are too busy being crazy to notice. Celebrities aren't former presidents, surprisingly Antifar hit the nail on the head here. Antifar posted... I hold the view that Harry Truman did; it's unbecoming of a president to go right from office to sucking at Wall Street's teat. I have no illusions about where Obama sucked from in office, but maybe something like this will convince those who spent years feeling Obama was a progressive constrained by DC reality. The presidency shouldn't be a stepping stone to corporate wealth. Antifar posted... This shit gives credence to critics on the left and (more pressingly) the right who say that Obama and the establishment politics he represents have sold out to corporate interests. Even if you assume pure intentions on the part of Obama, Clinton, etc., their willingness to hobknob with these sorts of people is bad optics that undermines their agenda and efforts to implement it. --- Oda break tracker 2017- 3 (2) Super Mario Maker Profile: 1237-0000-0073-02FE <cite>voldothegr8 posted [p:877895238] in Let's see ...

I have no illusions about where Obama sucked from in office, but maybe something like this will convince those who spent years feeling Obama was a progressive constrained by DC reality. The presidency shouldn't be a stepping stone to corporate wealth.</quote> <cite>Antifar posted...</cite> <quote>This shit gives credence to critics on the left and (more pressingly) the right who say that Obama and the establishment politics he represents have sold out to corporate interests.

Darmik 04/25/17 7:29:14 PM #145:	I kinda figured that Presidents generally make money from stuff like public speeches and books after their Presidencies are done. A behind the scenes book from Trump (and anyone dealing with him) is gonna make a lot of money. Do we even know what his speech is about? Some people are acting like he's pitching some get rich quick schemes. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:877895687] in Let's see ...
