The Obama Foundation is Accepting Millions in Corporate Donations, Even Though the President Spent Years Criticizing Them

How the winds of fortune change, you exchange political power for money power, and then proceed to use it to go all over the world, uh, "hanging out". While we pay millions to send Secret Service there before, during and after to protect him. What a mess...

    Arrogance. "Do as I say, not as I do." Typical for politicians of any stripe.

      Yep, one would think people on both sides would begin to figure out this whole cottage industry and just what they are trading for the money. I'm sorry, but I cannot see someone just "donating" a million dollars unless they are buying something or have a very creative tax lawyer...

    I guess if I want to start a foundation I first need to be president. It seems to bring in millions for little effort on their part and producing nothing. The only way a corporation could justify handing out millions after this guy was president would be if they received something while he was president and can now repay the debt! I wouldn't elect any candidate for president.

    So? You expected maybe integrity?
    Nick, my man, you are not that naive. I've read your posts. None of them, the Clintons or the Obamas are going away. Unlike the Right, they have no moral compass. They will do whatever it takes to get them back in the game. BHO is already back in the organizing biz and Clinton is looking for a run for....? Probably Senator.

      Nope, she is obsessed with being the first female president if she has to do it from a wheel chair. This is just a data point in the total scale of dysfunction Ayn Rand predicted. My humble opinion is we are there now just as the hat I have says "Now, non-fiction"!

        The next couple of Democratic Presidential primaries will be entertaining. Hitlery is gathering donations for her campaign, Sanders has not ruled out another run (and he's the favorite among young Democrats at present), Kamala Harris hopes to follow in the footsteps of the other freshman senator, Obama, Corey Booker is acting like it's his turn, and there are probably others that have slipped my mind. This could be even more interesting than the last Republican free for all.

      Yes, one wonders how this all escapes the preoples attention, they seem willing to ignore any criminal activity unless it has "Trump" associated to it, proving the entire falsity of the system. It also means we will never know if Trump really DOES break the law, but even then, he is in company with many politicians today, so why single him out?

    I think many smart people realize that the left will surely win this battle we're watching and they will rule over the nation in total eventually. They're just making the investment with the greatest rate of return - bribing them.

    Of Course...it's the evil liberal progressive demon-crapic way.

    Proof, beyond the devils shadow of doubts, that these creatures have no awareness of their thoughts, behaviors or the consequences thereof.

    I would not be surprised to find out that pressure was put on them to fork up the funds. I doubt he could get them legally so to speak.

    I'll bet it becomes even bigger and more corrupt than the Clinton Foundation, and even worse when he realizes how much more he can get away with with his free pass(es).

    After the fiasco and spotlight on the corruption of the Clinton Foundation, what type of idiots would still be contributing to it? Perhaps the corruption in this country is such that they know they will continue to be able to buy power and access through this discredited personal "piggy bank" and that their "contributions" are well protected. What a country!.
