Just curious how this line fits in with your "trying to understand the other side" motive. It does not seem like it does - it seems like you want to argue and "call" people on things with which you disagree.
I would love to understand the other side. Instead i find that mostly I am called names. I point out hypocrisy with the hope that you will realize Trump is doing exactly what you claim Obama for yet time and again he is given a pass or some excuse is made for his behavior. Such as in this case.
The Op's original post was meant to disparage Obama for earning money for his speeches and books. What is wrong with that? He is no longer president and can feel free to charge what the market will bear. Yet he is criticized for it because he championed policies that would help the disadvantaged in our country?
Trump pandered to the disadvantaged to win the presidency yet he is far richer than Obama will ever be yet the OP somehow find Obama's behavior hypocritical.
It is clear it is a case of liking one man over the other and thus excusing his behavior
or believing there is a different set of rules for a white man and a black man.
