Money grabbing?

So what are China then, being allowed to build pollution busting power plants, while still part of the accord?

He is not taking any salary while being in office. ($400,000 per year).

He has just donated 1 million dollars of his own personal wealth to the hurricane relief efforts.

Where is Barack Obama's donation and the where is the Clinton Foundation contribution ?

Obama and the Clintons are too busy organising, paid for speeches events, charging hundreds of thousands of dollars per event, they are the real money grabbers here.

Instead, it seems like Obama will spend his post-presidency hauling in money as the Clintons have. I don’t believe even under the guise of philanthropy that speaking to banks helps ameliorate economic racism; it certainly doesn’t help the Democrats electorally.

No she did not.

His position has not changed. The story is false. He is prepared to rejoin it if the terms are more favourable to the US. That was his position before.
