In an editorial entitled The Cost of Obama’s Speech, they reacted with shock that he would accept such a fee from the forces he was “fighting” against. And this is not feigned shock like Captain Louie in Casablanca. This is real shock.
They even quoted his own words from The Audacity of Hope. I read that book. I just thought the people who fell for his slop were fools. Now I know they are stupid.
The stupidity of the Left was further validated when Vox published an article with a title that states the $400,000 fee will undermine everything Obama believes in.
Isn’t it interesting that the Obamas are following the same pattern as the Clintons? First, totally forget where you came from. The Obamas will return to Chicago as frequently as the Clintons have returned to Arkansas. The Obamas will do obligatory visits to the presidential library and maybe catch a Chisox game.
In Los Angeles we live with celebrities on a daily basis. We have a term for people like Obama who are enamored by these celebrities – Star_____. (f*ckers-bfh)
The Obamas would be the King and Queen of that if they were not exceeded by – you guessed it, the Clintons.
The “leaders” of every socialist conclave on Earth, throughout time, have amassed great fortunes at the expense of the hoi polloi.
What part of this don’t the creeping maggots understand?
The dirt-daubers just see what they’re told to see, and refuse to question the reality in front of their faces.
It is truly a willful ignorance.

Speaking of the Left and their tantrums, have you seen today’s “Dilbert” comic strip about climate change? They will be calling for Scott Adams to be boiled in oil over it.
“…they reacted with shock that he would accept such a fee from the forces he was “fighting” against.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..”fighting”..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…against..
boingoboy was so far up wall streets ass, he could see the backs of their teeth, dumbasses!
They clearly didn’t read what was in the bill, or they would have known back in 2010 that 0bama and Co. are only interested in those who will pay them.
I don’t get it. Why would anyone pay for influence and access when all his butt buddies are getting fired? He is a phony and a complete failure. Everything he touched turned to shit. You’d think Wall Street would be trying to buy favors, access, and influence from team Trump.
“He is a phony and a complete failure.”
Went from a gross worth of $250,000 to $40 Million.
Phony, for sure … but failure?
Ha! He played the suckers better than PT Barnum.

There is one thing that was not a complete failure under Obama: the stock market.
In part because Obama was a master at pandering.
He pandered to the Leftist base in public pronouncements.
He kowtowed to the rich and famous and powerful behind closed doors – his Leftist base is still too blind to see that.
Just because he said there was a point when a person had made enough money didn’t mean he was that person.
Glad they have the ‘vapors’. Ha.
My fondest wish is for ALL these thieves and murderers in our gubmint to ‘catch their breath’ on a plane full of EBOLA carriers and Meheecans armed with ‘assault rifles’ provided to them by the biggest Traitor that History wil ever witness, Teh One that THEY enabled and assisted.
There 10 trillion reasons the stock market wasn’t a failure under Obama. Not yet, anyway.
The first evidence of their stupidity was voting for him. The second was re-electing him.
@JudgeRoyBean; These aren’t payments made for influence they are payments on invoices for work already done. If Hillary Clinton hadn’t managed to get her political career off the ground then Bill Clinton would have had about a year of invoice settling then he would have disappeared and his speaking fees or book advances would have fallen back to Jimmy Carter levels. But since Hillary managed to get herself back in the game slowly then in a big way people kept betting on her through Bill and high priced speaking engagements and other appearances. A check for Bill was actually a payment for Hillary for present and future considerations. When Hillary made it into the cabinet then pay for play really came into it. Bill’s fees skyrocketed and “donations” into the Clinton Fraud Fund also reached stratospheric levels by entire countries now. This continued with even higher loot coming in when she moved to being the Presidential Candidate and people initially thought she couldn’t lose. They cut off with lightspeed quickness when it started becoming clear that her campaign was a complete disaster but this Arkansas mechanic couple is still gathering in the last of the payoffs even while the Obamas are taking their place at the Accounts Payable window.
I never thought I’d say this but look for Michelle and Obama trying to emulate the Clintons successful second career chapter after they see the money it’s brought in. The only thing stopping them is Trump and whether he can clean out this rats nest on both sides of the aisle and return government to the people.

> I don’t get it.
Because paying before the work, in government, can waste money mounting a defense. Paying after the work is complete is perfectly legal. How do you know you’ll actually get paid? Well, past results are no proof of future outcomes (the lawyers say we have to say that), but look at how we’ve treated every servant before you. What have you done to make us change our ways?
Their Glass Mirror of Reality, is shattering !
Same BS as the socialists and the communists talk about, social and income equality for all. The nitwit progs will never understand.
He looks like crap! What’s up with the bangs?
