Bit rich? Barack Obama 'to pocket £2.5million for sold-out speech in Milan today'

.....


What a joke that was. All Obama did was promote racism and divide, in the US. 8 years wasted.



.....

But he did a good job of it.
 
Another problem I find is that democrats after leaving office make money essentially doing nothing. They are really stealing.

Didn't Barry do that for roughly 15 years in public office?
 
If you were a tree, what would you be?

If I were a tree, I'd be a forest of Oaks. Liberals on the other hand tend toward weeping willows.
 
I don't mind politicians making money after they leave office however it appears Democrats make money in such unethical ways.

Obama is a crook.

Being paid for delivering a speech is unethical? You must have gone ballistic when Sarah Palin quit as governor and went on a speaking tour.
 
Paid for speech from a former president = stealing.

Bucky, really? This is what you bring to the table? Go back to sleep, you must be tired.
 
I dont see anything wrong with him getting paid. Go man...get that money. If they are stupid enough to give it to you, you should take it and make sure they put you up first class all the way.

No...whats funny is not that he got paid. Whats funny is his actual comments included in the article. Barrack Obama...the man that literally did nothing for 8 years as president to address the violence in America, is speaking on addressing the violence in America. AND getting paid. THATS funny.
 
And think about how much money we saved by not having to pay him to hear him speak about himself these past 8 years.

The article didn't indicate who had the honor of paying him this amount to speak, but for a few dollars more, I'm sure there are several European countries which would pay that amount to have him be their President/Prime Minister.
 
So you are jealous?

Never! Not of anyone.

Didn't Barry do that for roughly 15 years in public office?

Pretty much.

Spot on.

My point in the OP was not him being unethical, it just illustrates the stupidity of people that would pay that putz for any reason. The only thing I would ever give him is a big fart.

My point exactly! :thumbs::thumbs:

It's also funny how liberals would ever vote or defend this phony pretender, but they did and do. :screwy Not only did he do nothing about stopping the violence, he continually promoted it with his racist rhetoric.
 
I'm glad you saw the humor in that jimbo. :)

Growing up, eons ago, my parents had this plaque in their cellar, which I always remembered:

Your jealousy is showing ...

You're jealous, admit it.

Why else post such a stoopid remark?

You think he is the ONLY PotUS to have made a small fortune from a post-presidential speaking tour?

Goodness, you ARE naive ... !
 
BARACK Obama will reportedly pocket a staggering £2.5million (€3million) today for delivering a speech to a sold-out audience in Milan as part of his lucrative post-presidential speaking tour.

Fools can be found everywhere.

Well, he is a free citizen to do with his time what he wants. And we do not know what he is going to do with that money, he may even be using it to fund a political cause.
 
He's retired from politics...it's no longer our business how he legally makes money.

It was never our business how ex-Presidents legally make their money, but it never stopped anyone from talking about it.

As for retired from politics, that is a bit naive. He is retired from government employment.
