Representatives for Barack Obama have threatened to cancel the former president’s upcoming paid speech at a Denmark university if details of his speaking contract are released to the public.
Obama will participate in a moderated question and answer session on Sept. 28 at the University of Southern Denmark before local business leaders, university students and local dignitaries, according to Business Kolding, the event’s organizer.
But the event has already sparked criticism from citizens of Denmark’s Kolding Municipality, which is providing 750,000 kroner, or $117,000, in taxpayer funds to support the behind-closed-doors event titled “A Conversation with President Barack Obama.”
Kolding currently faces a deficit of 100 million kroner in its next year’s budget. The town’s mayor, Jørn Pedersen, justified using taxpayer dollars to fund Obama’s invite-only talk, claiming the event is effectively a marketing opportunity for the town, according to Danish news outlet JydskeVestkysten.

What in the hell does 0bama have to say to business leaders?
It should be titled " A Conversation with EX President Barack Obama, the WORST President EVER!
To hell with that turd!
They need to release it. Obama is just another con-artist. What can he tell business leaders? He has never run a business and he ruined the US economy and businesses while he was President, used loosely.
Sweeds love Muslims.
He always was big on transparency.
Once a puke, always a puke.
The only thing that P.O.S. ever did FOR the American people was to give them an eight-year long panoramic view of his simian nose hair! He did uncounted things TO them.
What a schmuck!
