Last month, just before her book “What Happened” was published, Barack Obama spoke in New York to clients of Northern Trust Corp. for about $400,000, a person familiar with his appearance said. Last week, he reminisced about the White House for Carlyle Group LP, one of the world’s biggest private equity firms, according to two people who were there. Next week, he’ll give a keynote speech at investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald LP’s health-care conference.
Obama is coming to Wall Street less than a year after leaving the White House

When did Obama ever leave Wall St?
He never left

That's interesting. Any idea how much former Presidents and their wives make on the circuit?

Exactly. Ever since Obama signed Dodd-Frank, he has been Wall Street's favorite president, bar none.

Well wall street and bankers are an important part of America. Consider the 1930s after they fell apart.

Thank God our current president isn't such a greed driven man surrounded by Wall Street cronies...
