Anonymous asked: Did you read the article for Obama being paid 3 million for a speech they were defending him saying it was fine while calling bernie mediocre if he took three million for a speech people would be in uproar wasn't it obama said in 2010 the should be a limit to people's wealth though it shouldn't be surprising after he took 4 hundred thousand for a speech from wall street after he failed to prosecute them for recession
I saw it. I might’ve made an exception and commented on that one. I like Obama. But let’s be honest here. You can’t make an exception for you”team”.
If you are fighting corruption in politics, you can’t turn a blind eye when it is your “team” doing it for your “team”’s benefit. Corruption is corruption. And that is what these paid speeches are - a payment for future favors, i.e. legalized corruption. We can be honest , at least with ourselves, and say it, right?
