Representatives for Barack Obama have threatened to cancel the former president’s upcoming paid speech at a Denmark university if details of his speaking contract are released to the public.

Obama will participate in a moderated question and answer session on Sept. 28 at the University of Southern Denmark before local business leaders, university students and local dignitaries, according to Business Kolding, the event’s organizer.

More from the article:

“But the event has already sparked criticism from citizens of Denmark’s Kolding Municipality, which is providing 750,000 kroner, or $117,000, in taxpayer funds to support the behind-closed-doors event titled “A Conversation with President Barack Obama.”

Kolding currently faces a deficit of 100 million kroner in its next year’s budget. The town’s mayor, Jørn Pedersen, justified using taxpayer dollars to fund Obama’s invite-only talk, claiming the event is effectively a marketing opportunity for the town, according to Danish news outlet JydskeVestkysten.”

YES!

That’s an excellent guess.

Yes, I’m sure the questions have to be vetted, approved.

Must be nice to sing so well that Las Vegas will do anything for you.

Did you get this photo from a hotel in Dubai?

Thanks bitt. Probably has his real name, or real social security number, or something else he doesn't want known, even to his most diehard supporters. The big question is, what kind of idiiotic money-wasting moron is in charge of picking speakers at that Denmark university./blockquote>

Is this about the horny m&ms colors in his rider?
Or maybe about ValJar coaching him from the orchestra pit?
Maybe the fine print about the blond Norwegian college boys in the dressing room?

Comey and Mueller won’t be covering for you, so, you need to come clean.


ValJar will find someone new to hide his sh*t

Well, the photo I found by just doing a Google "image search", but that toilet was said to have been (for a while) at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. There were a bunch of articles about in the recent past, one of which is this one:    "On the throne: what it's like to use the Guggenheim's solid gold toilet" (The Guardian)

(If I had a bunch of gold, I think I would use it for something else, not a toilet.   Good old porcelain is good enough for me!)        :-)

“His only accomplishment was keeping his pants on unlike BJ, JFK. That would have destroyed his presidency after Michelle gets done with him.”

I think Michelle “destroyed his presidency” a long time ago.

Michelle was the one in that family with a “presidency”.

toilet water

And Streisand wanted MGM to have an attendant around, refilling the toilet with the rose petals, after the toilet was flushed.

Threatening to cancel seems like a weak move, IMO. Now everyone is curious about the contract - and the details can always be disclosed *after* the fact.
