Obama was already taking heat from the left when it was revealed he was giving a speech to a Wall Street firm for $400,000. Now it has been revealed that he got another one, meaning he has made almost a million dollars in speaking fees in one week.
The New York Post reported:
Obama scores another $400K speaking fee amid criticism
Even as President Obama faced criticism for getting $400,000 for a speech to a Wall Street bank, he pocketed the same amount of money for a second speech, The Post has learned.
Obama made another $400,000 on Thursday when he appeared at the A&E Networks advertising upfront at The Pierre Hotel. He was interviewed over 90 minutes at the Midtown Manhattan event by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in front of the cable network’s advertisers.
Out of office just 98 days, Obama caught some flack earlier this week when it was learned that he had agreed to speak in September at a health care event sponsored by Wall Street bank Cantor Fitzgerald.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said she was “troubled” by the big-ticket talk.
It’s nice that Elizabeth Warren said something about this. Where is the rest of the Democratic Party?
George W. Bush retired and became a painter. Obama is on his way to joining the supposedly evil rich.
