$400,000

President Obama was paid $400,000 for a 90 minute speech last week. A conservative like me might wonder, what he could possibly say that was so worthy of receiving this much money. We live in a system, capitalism, where someone's pay is based on finding someone willing to pay it. Lefty liberals have a different response.


Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) last week said she was "troubled" by the speaking fee the former president is reportedly receiving for that appearance. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) also expressed disappointment in the former president's decision.


Here is my question to both Senator Warren and Senator Sanders. So what? If an organization wants to pay Obama this much money for a speech - how does this adversely affect anyone else?  No seriously, I want to know why this is a problem?  For example, am I to believe that current 'American Indian' Senator and a future ex-President, Elizabeth Warren would turn down such a fee? Sure, and I believe that fairy dust can make one fly. 

Could these two have beat Trump last November?  I believe they could have.  A scary thought indeed.
