Obama's 400,000 Speech; Principles Of Democratic And Republican Politicians

     Obama will be paid 400,000 dollars from a wall street firm in exchange for giving a speech at an evening event. The Obamas are making fortunes from speeches, a 60 million dollar book deal, and all the other easy money perks.
      Why? Because Obama was an incredibly great president who prevented genocide? Or that his meaningless red line regarding chemical weapon use in Syria meant a green light to the Assad regime? Or because the Yazidis, middle east Christians and moderate Muslims in the middle east that were slaughtered while Obama did nothing means he is deserving of these riches?
      Obama followed in the footsteps of one of the most incompetent, arrogant administrations. The war in Iraq, the mismanagement and gross incompetence in the management of Iraq in the aftermath of the war, exacts a heavy price to this day. When the incompetents in the Bush administration fired all Baathists party members, and disbanded the army and police forces, leaving untold numbers of people unemployed and bitter, they created the seeds for the disaster that unfolded.
       The United States never should have gone to war in Iraq, but to withdraw in the untimely and unwise way that Obama implemented was the recipe for disaster.
        So with all the failure, all the bloodshed, all the misery that two presidents brought to the world, Bush and then Obama, why does Obama deserve the rich wall street rewards?
         Because wall street cares only about money. It does not care about principles. And neither do all the democratic and republican politicians in wall street's pockets.
          No matter what democrats and republicans say, they are the parties of greed and self interest. Chock full of politicians that line their own pockets.
           Trump got elected partially because some people believe that since he is filthy rich, he has no pockets to line, and therefore he would be an independent reformer.
            Make no mistake about it, Trump is no more for the little guy than any of the others. He never was, and he never will be.
             Imagine if politicians take a vow not of poverty, but one in which they will not allow themselves to personally profit or become rich from political office.
             Obama is one in a long line of self serving opportunists. Meanwhile, the democrats will continue to lose elections because they are not a viable alternative to republicans. If only they would stand strongly for simple things, like labor and the environment, and stop pandering to political correctness and victimhood, they might have a chance. And if they stop being the same greedy sobs as the republicans.
      The republicans will help ensure the rich get richer, the country goes more in debt, labor continues to be devalued and cheap, hard working illegal immigrants that are not criminals and that do the hard jobs Americans do not want to do will remain demonized targets, big moneyed special interests will prevail at the expense of the middle class and working poor, environmental degradation will accelerate, and the United States will continue to lose its middle class and become a nation of extreme rich with fewer in the middle and more at the bottom.
       And while all of this is happening, the Obamas will keep raking in easy money.
