Ronald Reagan was severely criticized in 1989 when, after he left office, he was paid $2 million for a couple of speeches in Japan. “The founding fathers would have been stunned that an occupant of the highest office in this land turned it into bucks,” sniffed a Columbia professor.
So what would Washington and Jefferson make of Hillary Rodham Clinton? Mandatory financial disclosures released this month show that, in just the two years from April 2013 to March 2015, the former first lady, senator and secretary of state collected $21,667,000 in “speaking fees,” not to mention the cool $5 mil she corralled as an advance for her 2014 flop book, “Hard Choices.”
Throw in the additional $26,630,000 her ex-president husband hoovered up in personal-appearance “honoraria,” and the nation can breathe a collective sigh of relief that the former first couple — who, according to Hillary, were “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2001 with some of the furniture in tow — can finally make ends meet.
No wonder Donald Trump calls her “crooked Hillary.”

Is a person not supposed to make a living? Looks to me like she did really well for herself. How much did Donald Trump make over the same date range?
Who would pay to listen to this monotone, chalkboard scratching, overbite beast give a lecture? America is doomed.
Most people don't understand this is how she's paid for favors no one cares about what she has to say.
4:57 besides waste of oxygen. What did she produce? Build? Finance? Exactly!! nothing!!!. Only morons would pay to listen to hear dribble. However they were not there to listen! but to BUY IN to the clinton stinky slush fund of influence and favors.

So your ok with FBI conducting investigation on your candidate that wants to run the super power? Your ok with her drone strikes that killed women and kids? Your ok with her donations coming from the groups she doesn't believe in? Your ok with her NOT sending back up to the CIVILIANS that ended up dying in attacks? Your okay ok with her stating college is to much money?
I have no problem with her making a living....but not off the backs of decent American people. I could care less what type of arrangement she has had with her husband for all these years. Putting him back behind another desk in the white house is enabling a pervert if a fraction of the accusations are real. That is just my female opinion. Hillary is an enabler.
And hillary is bitching about trump making money in the housing collapse ??
These fees were paid from profits earned by companies that should have sent those profits to the shareholders.
It's a free market economy. Why blame the speaker for what the host is willing to pay for the speech? Pretty sure most on here just don't like Hillary and would bash her no matter what fabrication of a story there is. Also pretty sure your dislike for her won't change the fact that she will be elected POTUS in November.
