Former President Obama’s presence among Wall Street executives once derided as “fat cats” now nets him roughly $400,000 on the industry’s speaking circuit.

A source close to a Northern Trust Corp. speech last month told Bloomberg News on Monday that Mr. Obama was compensated close to $400,000 for his services. Additional sources said that he recently addressed members of the Carlyle Group LP and will receive a similar six-figure paycheck as the keynote speaker at a health-care conference for investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald LP.

This pathetic former president is in love with the "fat cat" bankers now.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

That's about $2,500 for every "ME".

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Because they know she's running again.

[McCarthysGhost]

His shadow gov still in power?

[jazusamo]

Yep, and those idiot bankers won’t hear anything they haven’t already heard.

[DoughtyOne]

Wreaks of payoffs...

[Bonemaker]

Why does the SS make their dykes wear black men’s suits?

[jazusamo]

Exactly, just like the Clinton’s.

[Parley Baer]

Payback from all the tax money he funneled to these groups.

I don’t doubt for a minute that Obama hasn’t learned a thing or two from the King and Queen of Political Grifters (Clintons).

I will venture to say that he may be smarter than they were and will scam and scheme many more millions than they ever did - all without the public scrutiny.

Obammie is just better at being a duplicitous and devious bastard.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

That tour one of them took getting $200 to $250K a pop, just dang. (can’t remember which one now)

How much more overt can you get?

[Bonemaker]

“Yep, and those idiot bankers won’t hear anything they haven’t already heard”

The boards of directors should fire whoever gives that kind of money for Obama or Clinton’s drivel. Outrageous.

MAGA!

Please bump the Freepathon or click above to donate or become a monthly donor!

[elpadre]

Every gig he gets should be well publicized.

[Saltmeat]

He commands $400K for a speech yet it appears that he hasn’t given a red cent to the hurricane victims. What a piece of s—t if this is true.

[seastay]

This kind of money does bot exchange parties without a quid pro quo. Wall Street people are not ideologues or idiots. Follow the money in any criminal enterprise to get to the bottom of whats really going on...

[Gasshog]

But do the bankers supply the Telepromter or does Zero have to bring his own?

[jazusamo]

Right on!

[yoe]

"Mr. Obama was compensated close to $400,000 for his services">

Services? What services?

Obama's base, Maxine likes the hi-life also...ummmm, ummm!

Is it just my imagination or are the Negro's more racist than other races?

[neverevergiveup]

And I am sure that every penny he makes will be donated in order to achieve equality.
