If it makes you feel better, the NYT editorial board seems to agree with you.

If it makes you feel worse, I think this part of the editorial is as off as much of what you wrote:
'The Obamas are starting a foundation whose work will include “training and elevating a new generation of political leaders in America,” Eric Schultz, an Obama adviser, said in a statement. “President Obama will deliver speeches from time to time. Some of those speeches will be paid, some will be unpaid, and regardless of venue or sponsor, President Obama will be true to his values, his vision, and his record.”
But why not elevate a new generation of political leaders and stay true to his values by giving his speech fees to his foundation and other charities focused on those goals?'
This supreme focus on what they don't like and the short shrift given to his plans for public service is just irresponsible.
