Here's the staggering amount Obama got for his latest speech on behalf of the poor
May 10, 2017
Former President Barack Obama went to Milan, Italy to talk at the Seeds&Chips Global Food Innovation Summit about climate change and its effect on food production. Mike Opelka was astounded by the $3.2 million pay out for the speech to the liberal politician, who once famously said "At a certain point, I think you've made enough money."
On today's "Pure Opelka," Mike marveled at the hypocrisy of discussing America's food waste while regularly commanding more than $400,000 a speech. The Milan total is the highest Obama has received so far. It is not clear if his private jet, hotel rooms and 14-car convoy were included in that total.
The internet, in its infinite wisdom, is instead discussing the former president's unbuttoned shirt.
To see more from Mike, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “Pure Opelka” weekdays 12-3 p.m. ET, 10-1 a.m. ET & Saturdays 6–9 a.m. ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
