Barack Obama’s $400,000 Speech to Wall Street Sparks Liberal Blowback

ludin said:
I did you making stuff up is you.
Obama ranted and raved about Wall Street and the 1%. For 8 years.

Those evil banks etc ...

Now that he got his pay day he is good I guess.
So now that I have dispensed with your rhetoric I am done.

However he can no longer rant about the banks nor the 1%.

I'm sorry ludin, I didn't ask you to repeat your narrative or repeat "I backed it up". I asked you to "back up your point". Again, please back up your point. I know cowardly hiding behind "I already did" seems like a good strategy to avoid admitting you cant but it only proves once again that when it comes time for a conservative to choose narrative or integrity, they choose narrative.
 
Why are conservatives or Republicans being mentioned at all in this thread?

Isn't the topic liberals' reactions to something done by a former Democratic President?

Obama is nowhere near as liberal as you guys think. The problem with the right is that anyone who isn't some far right wing lunatic is a liberal in your eyes, which is you why consider anyone who doesn't adhere to some far right wing agenda as a "RINO" in your party. Trump is the exception of course, you guys let him get away with anything.

No, he is. Always was. Was brought up to be. His associates were. His policies were. His appointments were. He is.

Neo, you’re simply posting an ideological based narrative. Its true in your mind only because you want it to be true.

Is Warren super cozy with unions and does she sing their praises from the mountaintops, or is she not? Does she question any of their behavior in politics the way she criticizes other organizations' behavior, or does she not? You've got an internet connection, so you can find out in a few seconds, if you don't already know (thoughI suspect you do).

Her husband implemented Nafta over the objections of unions and Trump attacked her during the campaign for being “pro free-trade”.

I wasn't talking about trade, no one supports American unions on that issue. Except maybe Steve Bannon, ironically.
 
Profiting from his presidency is just what I'd expect this cur to do. B. Hussein Obama is a Mercedes Marxist, and his presidency disgraced the White House.

wait what? GOP voters told me he was a full blown socialist hell bent on destroying America...

They were morons. Obama isn't a socialist he's just another crony capitalist.
 
Now we know what he's doing with some of his money.

The Latest: Obama says youth key to his presidential center - ABC News

The Latest on former President Barack Obama's Chicago visit (all times local):

1:35 p.m.

Former President Barack Obama says he envisions his future presidential center as an institution where the next generation of young leaders will be trained.

Obama spoke Wednesday at a community forum in Chicago where renderings of the center and library were unveiled.

Obama estimates the center will be finished in four years, but says programming will start this year. He announced he and former first Lady Michelle Obama will personally donate $2 million to summer job efforts in Chicago.

The former president received a friendly hometown reception from the crowd, which included Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his one-time chief of staff.

Obama didn't mention his successor, instead focusing on details about the center, including potential exhibits and traffic patterns.

Obama says he hopes the center will become a hub of activity on Chicago's South Side, where Obama started his political career.

No, he was a centrist.

That he didn't govern like the far right wing wacko's you want to put in office is another matter.

You have to remember that in today's GOP...if you aren't far right you are automatically a socialist. Donald Trump is the exception of course. Trump can do or say whatever he wants, and so called "conservatives" will still love him.

Got any evidence that suggests his actions were that of a Centrist?
 
bubbabgone said:
Oh. And here I thought you were bluffing.

I wasn't, his actions speak for themselves.

He's probably the most socially liberal president we've had...but there are politicians out there way more liberal than Obama. Hell, Trump in his past was often more left wing than Obama.

You just can't list any.

Oh, please. Stop pretending it's bribe money.

It's cheaper to get Obama to come to your party than Kanye West. Lady Gaga would be twice as much.

I think Scott Baio is going cheap, just ask Trump.
