and Why he accepted that firms invitation to speak — at a healthcare conference btw, one of Obama's pet issues.

IMO Sanders and Warren both owe Obama an apology for their knee-jerk reactions.

Has Obama over 8 years earned some trust in his judgement, especially from us progressives? He has donated hundreds of thousands to charity and he may well donate some or all of this money.

Whatever private citizen Obama does however, it's none of our business.
