Former President Obama has agreed to speak at a Wall Street conference for $400,000, according to a new report.

Obama will appear at Cantor Fitzgerald LP’s healthcare conference in September, Fox Business Network first reported Monday.

Fox Business said it confirmed Obama’s appearance with senior members at Cantor, a financial services firm.

Obama will serve as the keynote speaker for one day at the company's event, sources there told Fox Business.
The network's sources said Obama has signed a contract for the speech with the mid-size investment bank in New York.

Cantor is waiting to coordinate with Obama before making a formal announcement, it continued.

Obama can reportedly back out of the arrangement if scheduling conflicts or other concerns arise, it added.

The former president’s reported speaking fee is nearly twice the price commanded by Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Obama reappeared on the public stage Monday, making his first public remarks since leaving the White House at the future site of his presidential library.

The former president did not mention President Trump or offer political commentary during his appearance at the University of Chicago.

“There’s a reason why I am always optimistic, even when things look like they are sometimes not going the way I want,” he said at a roundtable about youth participation in civic life. “And that’s because of young people like this.”

Obama’s remarks came just days before his successor reaches his 100th day in office.

I have never seen a thread that more fully proved what a worthless political ally you are.

I have never seen a thread that more fully proved what a worthless political ally you are.

If you don't support universal healthcare and campaign finance reform, or criticize the politicians you support when they don't support you, we were never political allies to begin with. Establishment Democrats are an obstacle to enacting progressive change just as much as Republicans. You witnessed the beginning of the end of what amounted to their 'leadership' with Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

My mom was a big fan (RIP). While I was supposed to be 'outside playing', I once heard her and her friends/my aunts laughing it up about his purported manhood.

At the conference we hired him for (some over the top Flagler hotel in West Palm Beach) he insisted that his dressing room be the enormous women's bathroom complex closest to the performance area. This meant all the women had to walk a quarter mile to pee. Boy were they unhappy about it. I skipped the performance and hung out in some Cuban girl's room.

Interesting. I'm "sexist" if I criticize Hillary Clinton's policy positions, for some reason, but yet here you are calling Gabbard a "retarded cunt". I wonder if any of your sycophants will acknowledge or address this blatant hypocrisy? @Big_Lou , @Fogdog ? Anything? Does this make UncleBuck a sexist, too? Like me? Or you guys just gonna continue to wash his balls?

Yet you praise Manchin and McCaskill even though they vote in favor of Trumps cabinet picks

One of these is not like the rest..

explaining to you the actions of red state democrats up for reelection next year is not praise.

at some point you have to accept facts, and definitions of words.

Why is there very little action in regards to climate change legislation in comparison to other more progressive nations?

 

[ttystikk]

Hillary who? That name just isn't relevant anymore. Your leftist ideas would probably catch on Ill admit... If next election was against anyone other than Trump. Charlie sheen would beat trump in 2020. If our government wasn't on the verge of melt down and we had time to focus on real issues it could happen. The only thing about universal health, school.. all that stuff. What will it mean for our taxes. I myself really don't mind helping out, it won't break me. But for everyone else out there... Taxes are a big thing. You can tax the rich or big corporations heavier, but when they pack up and move over seas the middle class is stuck floating the bill. What would prevent this

Denying those corporations access to our market would stop overseas flight dead in its tracks.

red state democrats

Manchin voted in favor of Gorsuch, and you support Manchin over more progressive Democratic choices

 

[ttystikk]

bribe is a word that has a meaning and you are not using it correctly, you misogynist assmunch.

What feel good euphemism would you prefer, then?

 

[UncleBuck]

a concerted disinformation campaign where facts are ignored and definitions of words are blurried. coupled with a whole bunch of white people who scream ELITIST! when you try to give them basic facts.

gee, where have i seen that happening lately?

 

[UncleBuck]

Manchin voted in favor of Gorsuch, and you support Manchin over more progressive Democratic choices

yes, i support a candidate who caucuses with democrats the vast majority of the time and can win in a red state over a progressive who dogmatically toes or oversteps the party line and who will lose.

stupid me. i should let the perfect be the enemy of the good and impose purity tests that would lose us more support on crucial bills.

 

[UncleBuck]

What feel good euphemism would you prefer, then?

the burden of proof is on you to prove the illegality, otherwise it is not a bribe.

there is no burden of proof on me until you do that.

don't blur the definitions of words. idiots do that.
