Funny how our black president is expected to be held to a much higher ideal than any of our white presidents. The racism is/1
Completely agree. Obama should set a higher standard. He does not need the money and should not accept it.https://twitter.com/AlecMacGillis/status/856971211254976512 …

palpable. Presidential libraries don't fund themselves and who are you to dictate his future earnings in his private life?

Obama speaking is actually *worth* money, and people listening tend to be a little better having listened.

Because the only reason black folks should make that kind of money is to entertain - singing, rapping, action movies and sports, amirite?
-
Yep! Sounds like they want to limit the ways Black folks earn a living similar to Jim Crow when certain jobs were 4 whites only.

Wait til we see what he does with it. Take it and donate and use it as part of the absolute free market late capitalism problem.

It's frankly none of our business what he does with his money.

My belief is it will be tougher to unify Disaffected Dems unless he gives most of such money to charity: his Foundation, maybe?

I disagree. Most "real" Democrats are totally behind PBO. We know how hard he worked, how he was disrespected; he deserves every penny!
