(32,324 posts)thousands of dollars Obama will get for presenting Corporate speeches in front of Corporate podiums once he is out of the Oval Office.
Clinton gets some $ 100,000 per speech. Those folks connecting the dots refer to that as his payback for signing the Bank Modernization and Reform Act, that gutted the Glass Steagall Provisions which had protected America's middle class for over 60 years.
It's possible that in return for his helping Wall Street accomplish the heist of middle class wealth and for his support of the MIC/Surveillance State, increasing war, (America is supporting over 80 wars across the globe, while cutting back on social programs) and the Monsanto GM policies, he will get a lot more than $ 100K per speech. (You also have O's support for the nuclear industry, "clean" coal and "clean natural gas," so there will be support for him on those issues also.)
