More power to him. If he’s making it legally, I don’t care and I ain’t gonna complain about it.

Gee, I did a one hour talk this week and got a coffee cup. I’m sure that the content was far more substantial than what could ever come from Zero.

He’s essentially a high priced male socialism prostitute who’s available for parties, graduations, and kids’ birthdays. They pay him, and he goes up there in front of a lectern and services the crowd orally. The only part up for debate is the ‘male’ descriptor.

Isn't it a university that is paying with public funds?

Political speakers should be limited to ticket proceeds for speeches.

There shouldn't be an opportunity for self enrichment by funneling funds to a public university only to have the public university funnel funds back to the politician.

Years ago, when PCs were just coming on to the market, I worked for a computer consulting company. Every year we gave a Japanese company a big presentation about the industry, and they gave the presenter a PC. I wanted a PC, so I spent weeks preparing my talk.

The day came and I gave my presentation. And the PC? Nope. I got a set of cuff-links and I didn't even have a shirt that used them.

What if he goes full-Fidel and talks for four hours? There’s a minimum wage floor, but he’ll never be near it.

If his (or, more properly, its) teleprompter breaks down, what’s the going rate for 20 minutes of “uh” “er”, and associated gas sounds?

They’re getting a bargain at $400k because when he’s done talking, he leaves

We the People had to endure him talking down to us for 8’ years and it cost us about $13 trillion

I care about both legality and morality. Being that Obama still has a lot of power and clout. That he has a history of lying and cheating for power. And that the payment is grossly disproportional to what one would expect the actual value of the service the payment is allegedly for.....I am forced to suspect that the payment is not really for the speech but is a bribe of some kind.
