Obama’s $400,000 Cantor Speech Makes Him Wall Street's Newest Fat Cat
When he was president he called them “fat cats,” but now he’s likely thanking them for a huge payday.
Former President Barack Obama, less than 100 days out of office, has agreed to speak at a Wall Street conference run by Cantor Fitzgerald LP, senior people at the firm confirm to FOX Business. His speaking fee will be $400,000, which is nearly twice as much as Hillary Clinton, his secretary of state, and the 2016 Democratic Party candidate, charged private businesses for such events.

No surprise. The guy is a fraud. It won't be long before he is the richest ex-president ever.

You two fuck heads are concerned about an ex Prez making a few bucks in retirement? Racism much?

Has he done anything different than any other former president? Isn't this free market capitialism, the economic theory you love by?

Um, this is the guy who ranted on for 8 years about how the rich, Wall Street and income inequality were evil. You progs agreed. I guess you changed your minds, such as you have.

Bush I worked for the Saudis when he left office, didn't he?
400K? Pretty much proof that he was a success, no?

But that's my point. Every former president is relevant to these people and that means their speaking fees are directly related to how relevant they are. Is this a kickback in your mind or is it proof of collusion? Or could it be that these people pay lots of money to the most relevant people and our former president, like every former president, is worth their money in their eyes.

He needs to do a book on how to be a president and send the first copy to your boy Trump.

Obama should not have taken this gig.
It undermines who he is, what he stands for.

Hillary's relevance definitely plummeted after the election loss. It's always a fair question to ask what the relevance actually is. I don't recall any past presidents having a degree in finance or statistics. But Obama is young enough and popular enough to run again in 2020, and I would not be surprised if roads are being paved to make that happen.
The fact that he and Eric Holder avoided prosecuting anyone for the mortgage industry meltdown provides food for thought.

The current president just sodomized Dodd Frank. I'm sure the Wall street types can't thank him enough.

No, it is saying one thing - and in doing so, stoking division in the country - and doing the exact opposite. That is the issue I see here.

They will pay him a million in a year or two after this trump debacle.
A government shutdown on the 100th day will be priceless.
Yep Rusty, too big to fail is out the door. Republicans: A lesson never learned.

The big O has set up a Charitable Remainder Trust ( CRT ) also a charitable foundation.
He is planning to donate to the states who are removing vestiges of the Confederacy.
In place there will be more statues of MLK.
Hey wave your freak flag. ( not for long )
Plagiarizing again? No quotes no source??? Or is it just that fake news again?

oh I forgot to mention:
On September 11, 2001, the firm lost 658 of its 960 New York employees in the World Trade Center attacks.
Since when did repugs denigrate respectable Financial Service's company's?
Kkk crank proves daily that the stupid shit wing of the repugs is alive and getting more ignorant .
And the fuher is not a "fat cat"? whos titty got sucked?
Hey kkk you used to be able to at least google shit properly. Now you are reduced to blithering? Give up.
( please repost where I slammed "Wall Street" I work for one of the World's Largest Financial Services companies. I don't shit in my own bed. }
Hey hillbilly , best go cash your welfare check at Amscot. Sure don't want those wall streeters getting their paws on it.
