Thought experiment: imagine the praise youd heap onto Obama if he had rejected the fees, then hold him to the standard of that fictional man
i'm saying his actions aren't inconsistent with anything he demonstrably stands for, we can demand he stands for other things i guess, sure

but he is free to decline, as he historically has
-
oh, right. I was speaking to people who would 1)argue that 400k speaking fee is bad but 2) don't want to blame O for "getting his"
-
Maybe no one's actually in this category
-
i mean, i guess i'd shrug at him "getting his" if that's how it goes down. it's not what Jesus would do, but other than that...
-
I think it'd be a powerful gesture coming from one of the most scrutinized people in the world, & that not doing it is the gesture inverted
-
yeah, that's fair i spose
