    It's really not that hard to figure out. He's the ex-president, he gets a lot more screen time, whenever he wants it then you or I will ever get. His wife is all over the place too, and I'm guessing you and I both know why...

    Do you really believe he went from one of the most powerful people on the planet, to like Tom down at the hardware store...? Come on...

    Sure, that might have happened. And if you find evidence that it did, I'll be happy to have him thrown in jail.

    Maybe ex-presidents should be sent to a mountaintop monastery to live out their days, in order to avoid any possibility of corruption?

    Or we could just execute them when they leave office?

    I can't vouch for it's validity, but this came up pretty quick when googling Obama post whitehouse.

    lol..., like I said, if he really carries that much weight, Hillary would be POTUS instead of Trump.

    How much weight do all the other ex-POTUS's have? Obama may bash Trump, so what?.. but he's yet to support any of the Dem candidates...and if he did, say if he endorsed Gabbard, I seriously doubt it would matter.

    So does George W Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter. Ex presidents all get secret service protection for life, many people still want to hear what they say, and most write books. Obama didn't invent this.

    But if you can't defend Trump, make up shit about Obama, Pelosi, Clinton, my cat...

    Was I supposed to be defending Trump?
    From 97 - 2013 it was 10 years of SS until Obama made it for life again.

    The only one of those I'd trust in the slightest is your cat.

    lol...again, so what?

    If someone offered me $600,00 to support Trump, I'd probably do it too.

    So... He's more powerful than you and I. That's my point. It might not matter that much but it's the truth.

    I really don’t care what ex presidents get or do when they leave. I think the optics are realllll bad when current politicians have their children in either high paying or powerful jobs unless they clearly are qualified for it. So no, not you Hunter Biden. Not you Ivanka and Jared. Go back and play with daddy’s other businesses.

    I mean you asked who he was giving speeches too... You asked how they give him any more power than we have too. Think about it a minute, if TV, Propaganda, "speeches", all that had no benefits, no one would do it, no one would spend all that money on it wasn't worth it to some extent.

    Jesus, when was the last time any ex-POTUS had enough juice to sway an election? The people who go to hear Obama speak already have their minds made up anyway...and I doubt any Trump followers go to hear him speak.

    Obama has one vote and I have one vote...seems pretty even to me. And the "99%" you spoke of have a lot more power than Obama.

    Yes, ex-presidents are in high demand as speakers. Would you rather attend a speech by a former president of the US, or one by the Vice Principal of the local Jr. High?

    Trump is scumbag who was caught over and over doing immoral and illegal acts as president, yet his supporters turn a blind eye to all his repugnant actions. However, they jump on the blame-a-liberal bandwagon before there is even a thread of evidence of impropriety. Disgusting. I'm tired of people making excuses for Trump supporters. They are vile! They don't deserve respect.

    I never said he was trying to sway an election though, or that he could. Garnering favors, and having powerful friends who make laws seems like enough of a benefit to me.

    Again, people who pay to go listen to Obama speak already have their minds made up.

    Lemme ask you this, who has more power, CNN and Fox...or Obama?
