Since Obama has come back from hanging out with plutocrats in French Polynesia I believe this is his third $400 K speech.

Only a fool would pay to hear one of his rerun speeches.

And like him or not (I choose not) he’d be foolish not to take the money and run! He may eventually need it for legal fees- or bribes!

[beethovenfan]

What a waste of money.

It sounds like it wasn’t even a speech, just an interview.

A speech requires many hours of preparation, edits, re-writes, practice, timing etc. An interview focuses on Obama’s best attributes...just showing up.

I guess giving him a quarter to just shut up is out of the question now.

A confirmed plagiarists interviews a confirmed liar and that is supposed to be worth $400,000?

[JohnBrowdie]

I wonder if those who write the history will be less fawning than those who wrote the news. now that he is out of office, there is a chance they'll finally print the truth.

it's a small chance though. the people that slanted the news are often the same people that write the history.

I like Rush’s idea of a 90% tax on speaking fees.

[Moltke]

It’s not about speeches. This one or the other ones. It’s pre-arranged payoff for “services rendered.”
