Some of you must have been living under a rock for the eight or so years of Obama's presidency. That and or simply just do not know.
Obama long had ties to Wall Street and the financial sector. We live in NYC and gave up counting how many times the guy was here for various fundraisers given by "Wall Street" persons. This includes having parts of Park Avenue on the Upper East Side blocked off so often because of various events being given in one of our very best homes.
It was partially Wall Street money from gays who are involved in that sector and or those who supported their cause (CEO of Goldman Sacks for instance) that got Obama to "evolve" on gay marriage. Basically they told him to act or they'd cut off funds for his 2012 re-election bid. BO delivered and the love fest continued.
Am guessing many of you believe "Wall Street" is still run by conservative WASPs. Not a bit of it; in fact you would be hard pressed to find more than a handful of them at any bank. What you've got are lots of Jews, and moderate leaning Republicans and Democrats.
There was nothing in this regard to slam Trump about. No one would pay any money to hear him ramble on, and he isn't smart enough to read a book, let alone write one. Even his "Art of the Deal" book was written by someone else and only had his name attached for effect.
But, it seems like during the campaign, trump made a big deal out of the clinton's being paid a lot to speak - and then bragged that he was paid more than they were for speeches.
If only the OP had written "disgraceful" instead of "disgraced' in his title. Then, it would be clear that the "disgrace" portion was an opinion only.
Also, using the term "charlatan" in his post... what does he mean by that? I would submit that someone who, with zero military experience, says "I know more than the generals" would be considered by most to meet the definition of a charlatan. And, it wasn't obama who said that, so...
Definition of charlatan
1 : 4quack 2 charlatans harming their patients with dubious procedures
2 : one making usually showy pretenses to knowledge or ability : fraud, fakera charlatan willing to do and say virtually anything to remain in the spotlight — Alan Brinkley
Kind of like hating on Ivanka, until they think she has been sexual harassed. All of a sudden she is a lady in distress!
You are mixing two things that are not related in any way... that someone feels ivanka shouldn't be such a major advisor to trump has nothing to do with someone else making a sexual innuendo about her. She isn't in distress, she is simply the target of a crude joke by someone who specializes in making fun of people. It is watters that is the problem there. And, this is all related to obama making some meney in what way?
I never said they did. I voted for Stein. Many others decided to stay home.
We have Trump becuase of voters like yourself,take some responsibility for the mess.
