President Donald Trump jumped on the latest bash-Obama bandwagon Friday morning, retweeting a Fox News Channel video segment about Sen. Elizabeth Warren's criticism of the former president's gargantuan speaking fees.
'Former President Obama's $400K Wall Street speech stuns liberal base; Sen. Warren saying she "was troubled by that",' the cable news network tweeted during the second hour of 'Fox & Friends.'
Trump quickly retweeted it to his personal Twitter account's 28.4 million followers.

The Fox News package featured far-left senator Elizabeth Warren complaining about big-money in Washington being 'a snake'

Warren, a far-left Massachusetts Democrat, had taken issue with Obama's decision to ink a $400,000 contract to speak at a big-money Wall Street firm.
'I was troubled by that,' she said during a SiriusXM interview about her latest populist-politics book.
'One of the things I talk about in the book is the influence of money,' Warren explained.
'I describe it as a snake that slithers through Washington. And that is shows up in so many different ways here in Washington.'
Obama's payday for the September speech to a Cantor Fitzgerald conference will equal the salary he earned for an entire year as president.

The former president, who once lashde out at 'fat cat' Wall Street bankers, is now agreeing to cash $400,000 checks from them in exchange for private-event speeches

It also puts him on the payroll of an industry he regularly mocked while he was the nation's community-organizer-in-chief.
'I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street,' Obama said in 2009, while the country was still in the grip of a financial crisis that many blamed on Wall Street's freewheeling money-management practices.
On Thursday night it emerged that Obama had already delivered a separate speech in exchange for a $400,000 check – this one at an A&E Networks event held at New York City's posh Pierre Hotel.
Trump may have been throwing an elbow at his predecessor on Friday because of something he said on stage Thursday evening.
Obama was asked how he coped with frustrating moments as president. He responded: 'By not having a Twitter account.'

Oh, the teeth gnashing and disillusionment that liberals will suffer due to Obama being revealed as what he really is: an opportunist limousine liberal who was never what they thought he was.

I'm dumbfounded. Is there really anyone in the world worth that
kind of money to make a speech. What could anyone possibly say that
would be so enlightening that it would have an impact on todays society?
