Surprise: Hero of the Common Man Barack Obama Now Pocketing $400,000 Per Speech for Wall Street Crowds
"Doing well by doing good" is how progressives justify taking graft.
If you're saving the world, why shouldn't you make bank?
Former President Obama is pulling in hundreds of thousands of dollars giving speeches to Wall Street firms, according to a new report.
Obama made $400,000 for a speech he gave to clients of Northern Trust Corp. last month, Bloomberg reported Monday. He gave a speech to Carlyle Group LP last week and is scheduled to headline Cantor Fitzgerald LP's healthcare conference next week.
A spokesman for Obama defended the former president, saying he has given speeches "true to his values."
