He must be a VERY good speaker................

Bill Clinton rakes it in.   With this sort of income potential why do we bother giving them a pension?

     "The former president had his most lucrative year yet in 2011, CNN reports, earning $13.4 million in speech fees -- exceeding his previous record by some 25%."

    "All total, Clinton has earned $89 million from paid speeches since leaving the White House in January 2001.

I always thought that Clinton gave a good speech.   I thought George Bush gave at least one great speech, but he must be pretty good too.........

"The Center for Public Integrity estimated in a report last year that former president George W. Bush had delivered almost 140 paid speeches for at least $15 million in his first two-and-a-half years after leaving the White House."
