Shoot me. I don't have a problem with President Obama giving paid speeches.

144. You are still ignoring the contradiction of celebrating FDR

You won't even address it. That speaks volumes.

It was you who pointed to your anger at Obama as justifying your comparing him unfavorably to a man born to incredible wealth and privilege, while pretending you did so out of some opposition to the wealthy elite. It's stunning.

I will bring up the hypocrisy about celebrating the extremely wealthy and pillorying those who are not every time I see it because it needs to be called out. Every time I see any of you talk about how great FDR was or FDR values, I plan to point out exactly what it is you are promoting. The fact you refuse to reflect on the that hypocrisy says you don't care, which means there is no opposition to the wealthy elite at all. The target is a man born black and poor. That is unacceptable, while being born into inherited wealth is better. Working as a Wall Street financier means FDR is a hero, but Obama taking money for a speech at a conference sponsored by Wall Street financiers is unacceptable. The problem isn't Wall Street wealth. It's that Obama wasn't born into it. Fucking incredible. Meanwhile, we are supposed to accept a far wealthier man to head the party.

Hell will freeze over before I take lessons on morality from people who continually advance mind boggling double standards. I can't lose enough brain cells to fall for that weak, transparent game.
