Politicians slam Obama's $400K Wall Street speech

  • 7 years ago
Former President Barack Obama is under fire over an upcoming speech backed by a Wall Street firm, which will pay him $400,000. "I think at a time when people are so frustrated with the power of Wall Street and the big-money interests, I think it is unfortunate that President Obama is doing this," Sanders said on CBS's "This Morning." Elizabeth Warren also spoke out about the speech, saying she was "troubled" by Obama's decision. Meghan McCain, the daughter of Sen. John McCain, blasted Obama for accepting the fee, calling him "a dirty capitalist."
