http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/23996000-452/sneed-hillary-clinton-reaps-450000-fee-for-speech.htmlNow, let's say she is elected president in 2016. She will probably make at least 20 or so big speeches per year. So that's about $9 million worth of speeches, plus all the other stuff she does, in exchange for the modest presidential salary of $400,000. Quite a bargain.

I imagine the answer to the that holds the precise same relevance as the answer to the OP... no more and no less (but with big, juicy rationalizations coming soon!!!)

Depends on your frame of reference.

Let's see, she makes $450,000 for a single speech. At my current salary (which I have only had now for two years) it will take me 14 years to earn that much money.
Sure, she will represent people like me. Yeah, right.

(1,135 posts)that if you were offered half a mil or any large amount to speak, you wouldn't take it?
But if she becomes president, she will not get any fees for speaking, while president. No president can.
So your OP is false and has scant credibility.
