Obama makes $400K for speech at A&E event: report

Former President Barack Obama reportedly made $400,000 for an appearance and interview last week at an A&E Networks advertising event.
The former president was interviewed at The Pierre Hotel in Midtown Manhattan by presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, The New York Post reported. The “History Makers” event, which lasted 90 minutes, was conducted in front of the cable network's advertisers and hosted by A&E chief Nancy Dubac.
During the event, the former president was asked what he missed most about the White House and how he dealt with frustrating moments when he was president.
“For starters, by not having a Twitter account,” Obama reportedly quipped in response.
A source who attended told the Post that Obama said he missed sitting on the Truman Balcony of the White House in the summer and looking upon the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.
He also told the audience about his transition back into civilian life, saying he still hasn’t drive a car and is learning how to use the coffee machine in his new D.C. home.
