President Obama does not work for you or us *anymore*, he is free to work for those he choses to

14. No shit (sorry to be so blunt)

But I read an article on HuffPo that has really torqued me off about his $400, 000 speaking fee - the author said that because the Obamas are already rich, they don't need the money.

Then they made the inference that those fees are why Obama was not tough on Wall Street Banks.

This really pisses me off - people who were born rich and continue to make money - no backlash. Heaven forbid you had to work your ass off through school and actually earn your money. I never understood the hate towards the Clintons either for their speaking fees - again they didn't come from money. So it's ok to be rich if your parents earned it but not if you are the one working.

I am not a fan of being rich just to be rich - I think there is a point where you really don't need anymore. But that is just me and of course I grew dirt poor so $50 is pretty damn exciting.

Democrats can't fucking win - that somehow they need to be in a one room shed wearing old clothes and giving every penny to charity or else there is no way they can represent the average American.

Or the asshats that were lamenting how dare Obama take a vacation after he left office when he should be addressing the shit storm happening around Trump. He did his job, he did it well - he doesn't owe us anything. He's not some damn superhero.

Sorry - lol I guess this struck a nerve.
