Dark_Grey Posted April 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Remember when Hillary Clinton was raked over the coals for her exorbitant $250,000 Wall Street hookups speeches?ZerohedgeNYT Quote WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama has reportedly agreed to accept $400,000 to speak at a health care conference this year sponsored by Cantor Fitzgerald, a Wall Street investment bank. Quote Out of office for about three months, Mr. Obama has begun the process of cashing in. In February, he and his wife, Michelle, each signed book deals worth tens of millions of dollars. And Mr. Obama’s spokesman confirmed last week that he is beginning the paid-speech circuit. You can't tell me he wasn't fantasizing about that speech money long before he left Office... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bank will likely offer fair rates to the least and fair rates to the most wealthy. We see greed in others when we are greedy. If you know they are truly greedy, like but no, really they are, then like yes, so are you. Greed is also a symptom of need. Today we will divide the two, heart and head, it has been a while since I chopped heads. Severed, and before I just did it in blind ritual allowing energy through me. Need this but fill it with money. Never know what is missing but wanting more money and more of that. Blending the two dilutes both. Speeches from Obama are authentic. A good heart recognizes a good heart. As a progressive who allies with liberals I never knew. Their limited political theory ends quick. Progressiveness is closest thing to pure Spirit but all politics lack and liberals lack more than conservatives. Yet the conservatives act like they are losing power. Yes you are for new generation. Don't be greedy with kids. If you fix that your relationship with them or parents will improve naturally, A house divided can stand, in fact I see timbers magically rising, and the war between the two destroys less than we build now, But it is not country or land we fight for but THE LAND and the PEOPLE who belong on it. Through the net it does reach vast. People look for help online and gave up. As this is the world and they thought it was new place to find things with same old humans. You had right intentions but those who play with borders, change it up always, improve yes but style and flourishes were of the time and I did better when I was halfway then the end on that. New beginning this is not English syntax, we don't tax sin, we take polysemy serious even without thinking about it. We are Refined Contrarians who turn the orbit of your selves backwards, as world spins and life marches on we know we can go all over the map and use map to road the roads and arm the homes. Arm as in build steady a la armando and some don't even know when to look up a castillian term yet and pretend to be well versed, in verses shared and stale, we are neither versed well or well versed, WE ARE VERSE to make you welll. Spelling bee have ended as now they show off and give the definitions. So we the keepers of golden bees, long hair returned, and from the forest to the Eternal City bound but halfway still, are the MEROVINGIAN resurrection and the high case letters do not show upper and lower but showcase DIVINE deity. Yes they ascended MEROVEUS AND CLOVIS forgivre me see here this page for illustrations described on top The bolded. Something isn't authentic about that, what do you think you left out?

aquatus1 Posted April 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2017 See, if a person is given exorbitant amounts of money by people for whom are going to be in a political or authoritative position to return the favor, we call that a "conflict of interest". It is an ethical violation. Alternatively, if people are given exorbitant amounts of money simply for their appearance, and there is no indication that those people are ever going to wield enough political or authoritative power to return the favor, we call that a "celebrity endorsement". It is good PR. People objecting to the first are usually driven by a desire to see fair play. People objecting to the second are usually driven by jealousy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent0range Posted April 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 27, 2017 As our President proposes tax cuts that offer the biggest benefit to people in HIS tax bracket, and doubles the membership fee to Mar-A-Lago which the government's own website touted as the "winter white house", we are talking about Obama getting a ridiculous amount of money for a speech. OK... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted April 27, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. The Clintons raked in untold millions through speaking engagements and their lucrative Clinton Global Initiative and Democrats didn't bat an eye. Now they criticize Obama for cashing in. Racists.

Speech writing by very important people doesn't work like that. They start by listing what they want to say; then experts suggest phrasing, but they make the choices of what to actually say. It is, then, their speech even though bits of it may have been thought up by others. I'm sure the money is well spent in good will achieved, even though you may not like it, you don't count all that much, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
