You're making common cause with socialists (not inherently a bad thing, but it is here) by criticizing Obama for not doing anything wrong and lending credibility to their argument.
Again, the Brocialists think it's wrong to interact with bankers. They'd be on him even if he did it for free, because they think banks are bad. Nevermind that he's going to talk to them about health care.
But they're so incoherent that they think it's even worse to charge banks a lot of money (i.e., reduce their consumption). Which makes no sense.
Anyway, now that you, Yglesias and Barro are on board, we'll probably see less of it. Or at least less disclosure of what the fee is (not even sure why that's public information for him anyway).
