thc6795 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 President Obama is being paid 400k to give a speech on health care for Cantor Fitzgelrald. Oh by the way just a huge investor on Wall Street. So is this another do as I say not as I do. Thoughts? Sort of hypocritical to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgGoneIt Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I can see the thoughts of it being hypocritical. Should he do it for free? Or should he not do it at all? Most presidents are getting paid to speak after they leave office, so, idk how "wrong" it is for him to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he should have stayed away from anything Wall Street. I don't have a problem with him being paid. The Wall Street connection is my problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zulu1128 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 No problem with Obie cashing in, just as every other former POTUS has done. If his people are comfortable with the hypocrisy concerning the venue, then I guess all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. I don't recall gluten-free food ever being so popular on any other president's watch either. And the number of flop movies during the Obama presidency needs some explaining. Not to mention the number of channels on TV showing just plain crap. Damn Nobama! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept of an African American President not being afraid to address these circumstances have nothing to do with it. I don't recall any Network having so many Sexual Predators and racist lawsuits being filed on them till Trump became President (18th Century Fox). They for got it is now called 21st Century Fox. I guess that Grab em by the Pussy wasn't locker room Jargon after all. Never so many on any other Presidents watch since the late 60s that I recall and the Russian Nut hugging too. Hell that hasn't happened since we teamed up to take out a certain dude with a crazy mustache from the 40's. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please provide your source for this Drummer. Evidently your senses are much more calibrated than the FBI's data on these situations: Look what they had to say. But you know for a fact this is true based on your keen ability to detect things under OBAMA. Killed by police Official data on the number of people killed by the police turns out to be remarkably unreliable. "We can't have an informed discussion, because we don't have data," FBI Director James Comey said in the House of Representatives in October. "People have data about who went to a movie last weekend, or how many books were sold, or how many cases of the flu walked into an emergency room. And I cannot tell you how many people were shot by police in the United States last month, last year, or anything about the demographics. And that's a very bad place to be." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thc6795 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 This thread is not an attack of President Obama's Presidency. You cant blame President Obama for cop killings any more then you can blame President Trump for Russian hacking. I just find it odd that President Obama would give a speech to Wall Street after everything he said. Especially with how many seats the Dems have lost lately and much of a shamble the Democratic party seems to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that is his everlasting legacy whether you are on the I like it or I hate it train. If he was there speaking about how to pay your employees less and how to keep your dividends growing rather than healthcare for the employess or country, I'd be right there with you guys thinking it hypocritical.

Cat_Scratch Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I would be more worried about Kim Jong-un, Jong-un WILL nuke America in a desperate ‘last stand’, says North Korean defector who fled despotic regime. Obama is past news. Turn your heads forward and look at what is in front of you. The best way to get sucker punched is by looking in the wrong direction. Our future lies with what Trump can get done and how he handles a bigger nut job than himself. He is a business man playing for all the marbles. He needs all of us to be behind him or we all lose. It's that simple. Imagine you're on a team where half the offense likes the QB and the other half doesn't and is nuts enough to let the LB's rush unblocked. Imagine how many games your team is going to win. Think about it... it's not a game when peoples lives are on the line. Money isn't the biggest problem. Believing in your system is way more important. Tooo many people think they have all the answer by themselves when it takes all involved to solve the problems. YOU Better Believe it, or you're coming in last... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloryDays Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Is it hypocritical for the right to criticize Barry O on his newfound love for capitalism? Is it hypocritical that Congress is probably going to exempt their health coverage from TrumpCare? Is it hypocritical to think a cucumber is better as a pickle? All questions that can only be answered after reading the table of contents from every third Michael Savage book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
