    A lot is often made of this but they signed a record-breaking book deal worth $65M at the end of Barack's 2nd term. That's the reason he/they went from a net worth of like $2 million to $70ish million while he was in office.

      Good point.

      But you have to admit, winning all those Dan Quayle look-alike contests was quite impressive.

        I guess that makes sense.

        IMHO the "consulting" and "speaking" fees that present and former politicians make is extremely shady though.

        • Hillary did the same thing, but all she did was marry Bill, and got Barack to nominate her as SOS.

          • I know a CEO who signed a $100million expansion project shortly before retirement. The company that got the lion's share of that money hired him to a very lucrative one-year "consultant" position after he left the medical center. Shady is as shady

              One arrest was made. Guess who it is. Watch until the end.

                • Hanni, In the Prius video, do we know what he was arrested for.
                  Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                      Well he did write two massive best sellers before becoming president. That might have had something to do with that. After his presidency, I imagine he did select speeches for big time dollars (like a lot of ex presidents/high ranking politicians). Michelle Obama had a massive best seller, and they signed a very nice Netflix deal.

                        Sure he "doesn't have to" (FREEDOM), but this is one of those things where it's better to be transparent. Especially if you have illegal allegations against you... and you know, considering you have the most important job position in the world.

                        I honestly don't care about the legal stuff that Ds are bitching at as scummy. That's on the politicians.
                        That would be taking responsibility for something and we already know Trump will never ever do that. He has not done that ever in his life to date---why start now?

                                This way the finger pointers could show how clean they are as opposed to the filthy cheaters they are trying to indict.
                                Absolutely.
                                All for transparency. AND term limits for US reps and senators while we're at it.

                                Yeah, I know Trump won't release his tax returns. Just saying... would prefer he does if his response is basically "Fake News!" IRS doing an audit is irrelevant to releasing it.
