Former President Barack Obama was paid nearly $600,000 to speak at a Tuesday marketing conference in Bogota, Colombia, according to Colombian news outlet El Tiempo. For those keeping track, that’s $100,000 more than Bill Clinton made for a single speech in Moscow (during a 2010 trip where he hung out with Vladimir Putin at his house).
According to the report, Obama earned “2 billion Colombian pesos,” or $591,000 USD speaking at the EXMA conference, held Monday and Tuesday. Conference attendees could also snap a photo with the former president for just 11 million Colombian pesos, or around $3,200.
And according to the Bogotá Post - Obama’s talk, “A conversation with President Barack Obama,” was focused on influential growth strategies. “It will be a talk about business that is based on the positive influence Obama puts out. We have to take advantage of this to build de country, entrepreneurship and innovation,” said the organizers, who added that Obama will “set the condition that he won’t talk about current politics.”

How ridiculous. This M”EFFING A$$HOLE Obama knows NOTHING about business, he has NEVER been in or had a business.
Proves how stupid socialists are to pay him this kind of money for empty meaningless words.
Yes, this pos garbage certainly proved that for 8 long years of misery, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE MORONS, who in their right might would pay that dirty piece of inhumanity that kind of money, FOR BABBLING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This schmuck couldn’t find it’s way out of a wet paper bag, he’s worthless as the tits on a boar.
Yup.
Don’t be so hard on Ol’Bluegums. He can’t “do” anything but wag his blue gums talking Bull excrement. And he needs some loose change to pay for that rancho down in Paraguay next door to the Bushies’s rancho. They all need an escape hole. They know their time here is measured.
