Obama commands $400K on Wall Street’s speaking circuit: Report
The Washington Times ^ | Sept 18, 2017 | Douglas Ernst

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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...

"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?
