I am sure you have heard about Barak Obama getting almost half a million dollars for one speech. Now I see a headline that he has another on his schedule. How do we respond?
First, as a capitalist who believes in free enterprise, I say, “Go for it!”. I congratulate him. We all need to seek the greatest return possible for our skills and contributions.
Which brings up a second response. Just what are his skills and contributions? He is an ex-president. He has never done much of anything except write books about himself and read a Teleprompter. What make a speech by Barak Obama worth $400,000? What does he have to sell? What did he already sell? If the money is for a great speech I would suggest that the judgement of our business leaders is questionable and the stock holders need to have a quick meeting.
I know I would not pay 25 cents for his books at a yard sale. What does he have on these bankers that they offer up this kind of a payoff?
CIA are you listening? NSA are you awake? Follow the money.

ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you are being too hard on the Dims. They are entitled because they are the anointed.
