I was in no way saying "everyone does it" as either an excuse or a defense.
I was saying "piss off jerk" to someone being excessively self-righteous in the nicest way I could muster.
Obama taking a fee does nothing wrong. There is not even an appearance of corruption when he takes a fee at a point when he has no power to offer anything, and when his record is such that you can't find anything he has done for them in the past. His record is established, it isn't changing, and it's not one of bending over backwards for bond traders.
Apparently you think I'm just not applying "high" enough standards. My standards, being based on logic and sense, are higher than yours. You are trying to cast shade on a good man for something that makes no sense. You are slurring him, and trying to be self-righteous doing it. Since you aren't seeming to get it, let me make it clear: Piss off, jerk, and take the self-righteous bullshit off to Bernie land.
