Opinion of Obama's Wall Street speechifying

[Illiniwek]

Who cares?

Seriously. I would like to see what all the critics would do if they were in his shoes. I highly doubt all of you would turn down $400k opportunities out of principle.

Two things, if people want to pay that much to hear me speak, I'll take it in a damn heartbeat. Two, I assume the majority of the money is going to help the Obama Foundation, not directly himself. Either way, I think it's an elitest thing to do, but I would do exactly the same thing in his shoes.

Don't care.

Amen.
