Liberals Slam Obama For Taking $400K From Wall Street
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 4-26-2017 | Andrew Kugle

Posted on 04/26/2017 10:59:05 AM PDT by blam

Some notable liberals are not happy with former President Barack Obama's decision to give a speech at a Wall Street conference.

Obama will be paid $400,000 to give a speech at Cantor Fitzgerald's healthcare conference this September, according to Fox Business. Some of Obama's supporters are upset with the former president who often railed against income inequality and the business practices of Wall Street.

The Washington Post gave four reasons why Obama's $400,000 speech is a bad idea. One of the reasons the article cites is that in President Obama's 2006 book The Audacity of Hope he called arrangements like this a corrupting influence.

Some liberals expressed their frustration and anger with Obama's decision on Twitter.

Obama was a media hologram, created by progressive elites and their media outlets

So why are they surprised now that he no longer needs the cover, he is taking money from them?

Obama's been as flexible as Gumby since 1/20/2013.

Obama is Otter and Obamabots are Flounder: "You effed up, you trusted us! You can't spend your whole life crying over your mistakes!"

Even some Libs don’t like the way this looks. He’s being bought and paid for, with Lobbying or influence peddling the future expectation. Everyone can see it.

All socialist-democrats are equal, but some socialist-democrats are more equal than others.

Liberals are the dumbest clowns on earth. Their “heroes” are nothing but money grubbing pimps and whores who spread their legs for the highest bidder. And O’dummy is the worst.

Cantor-Fitzgerald should hang its head in shame for obvious historical reasons. Obama, the worshiper of “the Muslim Brotherhood”, is, and, always has been, and will always be a devoted, dedicated, Muslim, Black Racist, hater of the American Republic. The 2001 fallen Cantor-Fitzgerald folks of 911 horror must be turning in their graves. Obama and his wife should be cleaning windshields on the Bowery in NYC...not receiving $400,000.00 to say nothing, but bad mouthing our great country!! Sad!!!

“Cantor-Fitzgerald should hang its head in shame for obvious historical reasons.”

What would expect to be different for a pack of Jewish Secular Progressives?

Fake news.

Obama is a socialist.

He’s busy pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #43.

Think back to Obama's first nomination. Dennis Kucinich was gaining a lot of traction. He even got enough of a percentage in a MoveOn.Org poll to garner their support. So, what did they do? They changed the rules and supported Obama, to stop Kucinich (reminds me of the 'pub elite supporting McCain to stop Huckabee from gaining traction, then supporting Romney to thwart Santorum). It's all a rigged game. Obama was an unknown, but that was better for them than Kucinich who supports stuff like fair trade and ending wars aimed at seizing the assets of unfriendlies for the benefit of the global elite.

So Obama played nice for eight years. Now he and Michelle have to decide whether to keep bowing to the progressives or to rake in millions of dollars. I'm 100% okay with Obama's decision. Let them be rich and lazy....just go away!
