Let the Kickbacks and Political Paybacks Begin, Chicago Style
April 28, 2017
Obama pocketed two $400,000 speaking fees this week for one-hour speeches. One was from the Wall Street too-big-to-fail-bailout-recipient bankster firm of Cantor Fitzgerald, and the other was a media company. The former is comprised of the “fat cat Wall Street bankers” who Obama pretended to condemn when he was emperor. Pay-to-play politics is getting very expensive now that the Chicago political mafia has been involved in it at the federal level for so long.
