Zero Hedge "Shortly after Barack Obama delivered his first (free) speech today since leaving the White House in Chicago before an invitation-only crowd of college students, community organizers and other fans, Fox News' Charlie Gasparino reports that in what may be his first paid speaking arrangement, Obama will be paid $400,000 to speak at Cantor Fitzgerald's healthcare conference this September, setting the benchmark for how much an hour of the former president's time will cost going forward.
#BREAKING @BarackObama has agreed to speak at Cantor Fitzgerald’s health care conference for $400,000! I discuss NOW on @FoxNews!
" 'What sources are telling FOX Business Network is that former President Obama, now less than 100 days out of office, has agreed to a speaking engagement during Cantor Fitzgerald’s healthcare conference in September," FBN's Gasparino said. "We understand that he is going to be the keynote speaker for the lunch, and he’s going to receive a fee of $400,000. We should point out that that’s in line with what Hilary Clinton got... we should point out that Cantor will neither confirm or deny.' " . . .

Why would this company pay Barky this kind of $$$$ to hear ANYTHING he had to say about ANYTHING? He talked so much and was on TV constantly for over 8 years, how could there be anything left to say? And now he has no governmental power, other than in a shadow fashion with his never-ending influence over the deeply-entrenched minions in the various federal bureaucracies (who are one of the biggest problems for us US). He ruined this country every day of his pResidency. He did nothing for his racemates to get them to assimilate into American society and take advantage of the potential opportunities available to them. He really missed his chance to do some real good for the "downtrodden" among us.
