Following in the footsteps of Bill and Hillary, who made over $100 million giving speeches to Wall Street. It should be clear by now who "elects" the president in this country, and it ain't we the people. All Wall Street puppets including the current one.

Yawn. Trump funnels more in from taxpayers every weekend when he stays at his resort.
Seriously, this is normal for ex presidents. Why the sudden outrage about a private citizen making money?
It's called conflict of interest. it's legalized bribery, and its something people should be outraged about. Just because its normal for ex-politicians to do doesn't mean its right. It used to be normal for presidents to own slaves. I guess that makes it right then according to you.
So pass a law, up the amount we pay to ex presidents, and say that if they want that they have to forgo outside income. Honestly I'd be ok with that for senators as well. Presidents charge for speeches. Its what they do. But suddenly folks on the right have some sense of outrage? Really?
I bet this is just like the deficit, only bad when its the other guys.
Good business deal for who? Not for you, or me. Obama sold out to Wall Street long ago and is reaping the rewards. Man of the people my arse.
I really don't have a problem with a former President making money giving speeches. They are no longer in office.
