During the speech at the Pierre Hotel in New York City, Obama delivered a sly dig at his successor's prolific tweeting. Obama was asked how he coped with frustrating moments as president, and responded: 'By not having a Twitter account.'
As President Obama came under fire for scheduling a $400,000 speaking gig at a Wall Street firm next fall, he pocketed the same amount for a speech Thursday night for A&E Networks.

He is set to be paid another $400,000 at an engagement sponsored by Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald LP in September. Earlier this week Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said she was 'troubled' by the fees the former President can command.
Goodwin observed that Abraham Lincoln used to write angry letters when he needed to vent his frustration, but would not send them.
He also said that the things he most misses about living at the White House included sitting on the Truman balcony on summer nights, a source told the New York Post.
Obama said he also missed being able to look at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. (yeah, I'm sure.... He misses watching Beyonce walk around the WH more than that by a long shot.)
IMO, Obama “dealt” with the presidency via teleprompter. Was clearly obvious when it wasn’t in front of his face. Every 3rd word was UM...or Errr....
Obama misses the coke filled parties with the imported Afghani dancing boys.
Twitterprompter?
He would have been tweeting all the time.
Yeah, and most certainly misses watching Beyonce strut her stuff around the WH.
Actually, the way he “dealt” with the presidency was doing practically nothing at all. It’s why the world is in the shape it’s in now...not to mention our country.
It’s criminal. No one wants to hear anyone for 400 k. It’s money laundering. Book advances and speaking fees to empty rooms.
Let’s be honest.
Valerie Jarrett wore the pants in the White House.
Barry was the window dressing.
“Book advances and speaking fees to empty rooms.”
Well, empty except for those who live at the top 1% of income who can afford (and are stupid enough) to want to hear him read from a teleprompted just one more time...
I wish Trump would go nuclear on Twitter and remind the world that BARAK OBAMA HAS NEVER HAD A REAL JOB IN HIS LIFE.
Cus you KNOW the Left would immediately turn it into a race thing and have to defend the fact he really hasn’t worked a day in his life.
You mean community organizer isn’t a real job?? :>)
This is proof that the presidential tweeting is actually effective.
If was damaging, the demohaters would encourage it.
DAMN THE NAY-SAYERS, FULL TWEET AHEAD!!!!
If I were President I would reply to Barry: “I need a Twitter account to circumvent the dishonest media who spent 8 years on their knees servicing an Affirmative Action hire”
Community Organ Grinder is more like it.
Obarry was Anti-Fa before there was an Anti-Fa.
“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money” - Barack Obama, April 28, 2010.
That doesn’t apply to him, though.
“the dishonest media who spent 8 years on their knees servicing .... “
Man oh man. You really opened a potential can of worms with that one. Imagine all the one liners that could be placed after “servicing”? :)
Michelle just delivered the keynote for the national convention of the American Institute of Architects- as if to confirm the fact that architects don’t listen well, are out of touch, and spend money indescrimately.
Well...not all architects.

Yup, do as I say, not as I do.
