As a Democrat, I do not (hopefully) go along with consensus but voice my views. And on this matter, although Obama clearly has the right to accept huge amounts of money from bankers, corporate leaders, etc., it is difficult to think that others looking at the situation would not believe that he is influenced by large amounts of money changing hands.
I know that if some stranger approached me as I was walking down the street and offered me a very large sum of money, then when that stranger called me on my phone, I would be responsive to what he/she wanted.

And I do think that Obama's responsibility to the country did not stop at the end of his presidency, but it continues on. He is hopefully going to demonstrate to us what activist citizens can and should do, and this includes not taking "golden handcuffs."
