What details do you believe are lacking to reach that conclusion?
What details do you believe are there to reach that conclusion. You know nothing about the speech and I do not either. What political gain would it achieve? 400k is pennies for Wall Street. To have a speaker come in like Obama I'm sure all it really is.. is a speech. He's not campaigning.

Can you explain why this speech was a bribe and why you connected it to Clinton
I think it's pretty obvious it's repayment for a service during Obama's administration. That's how political corruption works in America, corporations fund political campaigns for future access to policy or to reform regulations for their industry or for a number of other things that circumvents the democratic voice of the people. Here's a study from Princeton that proves it; Testing Theories of American Politics

So, why would a financial institution pay Obama $400K for a speech if it wasn't for corruption? Do you think this is 'normal' in the sense that in your mind you believe it's OK for previous or incoming politicians to be accepting this amount of money from special interests? Do you believe it has no impact in regards to influence once they get elected to office?

I'd love to hear Obama speak in person, He's a wonderful public speaker. I'd imagine many wealthy corporations/ companies have been asking him to speak.

Doesn't seem strange to me at all.

I saw him speak across the river in Ohio in 2010. I was maybe 40 feet away. It was a good day. We were gonna hit the Cincinnati Aquarium, as well, but by then I was bloated (street food) and a bit drunk.

i knew he was a star back in 2006. i hobbled over a mile across campus on crutches to watch him speak at ASU in favor of some house and senate candidates. it was so nice to see a guy speaking in measured, complete, intelligible sentences after having endured 6 years of shrub laying waste to the english language.

The consummate humanitarian, Michelle is shown here caring for this mentally retarded senior citizen as he appears to be mid-orgasm:

Obamas not some washed up white president. He's the first African American president of the United states. That's a premium president bro (if you want the rare good shit, you're going to have to pay for it). What's pretty obvious is that you presented an opinion as fact. Do you have any proof besides some study that has nothing to do with obama? You're just profiling the man otherwise
