- What!? People thought black presidents can't be corrupt too? Racists!!!IRNlun6
- Did every president really cash in after leaving office? Pretty sure it only goes back a couple decades at most.yuekit
- Im sorry but whats corrupt about getting paid to give a speech?
What am I missing here?sofakingback - Oversees bailout of banks, then gets 400k for a single speech from banks. It looks bad if nothing else.yuekit
- Same shit the Clintons did. This is part of what got far right like Trump into power.yuekit
- Pretty sure most former leaders, US Presidents or not, make money giving speeches. It's not uncommon in the least.monospaced
- @mono - yep - its completely standard practice and I would say one of the reasons some politicians go into politics (some I must stress) along with the seatsfadein11
- on the board of various companies - turn up 1 a month and take home millions. Just shows how dumb the right are using this against Obama.fadein11
- 1 day*fadein11
- It looks bad. President Obama should cash in. Shit, 60 million book advance!? Fuck yeah, but Wall Street firm speeches?IRNlun6
- Does Trevor Noah's views represent South Africa or is he considered an American puppet?omg
- It's a given the right would use this against him. Many Dems have come out on this as well.IRNlun6
- Obama could easily spin this, saying he'll donate the money or something. Just damaging to his and the Dems brand.IRNlun6
- why should he donate the money though? he got the top job and now its reward time for all that stress haha :)fadein11
- the spot has been burnt after Hillary. The spot is still hot and Obama is gonna come in put his ass on the pan? He better donate it his first couple speeches.omg
- is there a video/gif meme of him in a rap video with dollar bills everywhere? if not there should befadein11
- this is the closest I can find for you fadein. you'll have to add your own beat http://i.imgur.com/o…omg

- lol at you demanding he donate his earnings while ignoring that trump can't prove he is charitable at all and won't even release taxesmonospaced
- news flash, he isn't president and he wasn't controversial, get over it snowflakes.monospaced
- I help throw big leadership events and we hire speakers all the time, from famous authors to former politicians, and those costs are totally normal.monospaced
- It wasn't a demand or a call for charity. Going 2-for-2 in paid speeches and being a headliner for Wall Street as Hillary warmed the stage for him?omg
- A few bankers just want to hear a sermon by Prez Obama, get his blessings, and take some selfies. What pray tell, could be wrong with that?robotron3k
- so much hypocrisy here ha - you alt-right 'tards all worship a reality TV star.fadein11
- You antifa nazis deserve a Pepsi can to the head. Lol.omg
- And still you're all up your own asses wrong. It's not odd, it's not shady, he owes nothing, it's NOT a sermon. Obama was a real leader. Trump isn't.monospaced
- You snowflakes are freaking out over nothing, because you probably just don't like black guys, while ignoring trumps ACTUAL wall st cabinet.monospaced
- Trump has South Africans in his advisory council, so you can shut it.omg
- M. Obama and T. Noah lived 1800 miles apart from each other at their birth place.omg
- Irrelevant troll making irrelevant and idiotic points. Nice job numb nuts.monospaced
- Nothing about Obamas success while billionaires with no experience or right to have their positions systematically ruin all that is good. Fuck off.monospaced
- *bitching about obamas success.monospaced
- no you racially trolled the irrelevancy of them being black. Many people are regardlessly going to see Obama following Hillary's lead.omg
- And how does comparing Billionaires like Zuckerberg or Gates have anything to do with this?omg
- Nobody made that comparison you dumb ethically challenged little moron.monospaced
- I was talking about Trumps clown posse of idiots who he had appointed to real positions. They are swampy as fuck and you still focus on Obama?!monospaced
- You're just mad because Obama is being paid to speak, something Trump isn't being offered and frankly is incapable of. He's a moron like you.monospaced
- No reputable university will ever ask trump to speak at a graduation. He'll never be a keynote speaker on leadership. The bitch skipped his own press dinner!monospaced
- Haha. You're the clown at NYC's Feast of San Gennaro where people line up to hit the bulls eye to dunk the angry clown who taunts passerbys to test their skillsomg
- I agree, he isn't president anymore and doesn't owe us shit, he can live his life as he see's fit.sofakingback
- Clown Dunk
https://www.youtube.…omg - I do find it telling how fixated rep. are on him, I really do think Americans hated him for being black and for not living up to their demonizing expectationssofakingback
- Meh, you have a couple loudmouths who may have talked shit, but were never large enough to represent any one demographic in America.omg
- lol, clown dunk? you're the biggest goddamn joke around here, omgmonospaced
- pretty much universally regarding as a clown here OMG - spewing your illogical nonsense all over this site on a daily basis making a fool of yourself in public.fadein11
- How long will you go on defnding your inept reality TV star resident who after 100 days has already admitted the jobs too tough for his abilities - brainwashedfadein11
- moron lemmings jumping off a cliff for a total sack of shit commander in chief.fadein11
- regarded*fadein11
- fadein11, lubed up clown...omg
- maybe accept that Trump will be the US president for the next 4-8 years.omg
- maybe accept that Obama isn't president anymore, so the current president and his fans can stop acting so butthurt that Trump isn't very good at this and own upmonospaced
