We suspect we are not the only ones amused by the New York Times editorial board’s anguish upon hearing that former president Barack Obama will be pocketing $400,000 from investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald to speak at a health care conference in September.

“[I]t is disheartening that a man whose historic candidacy was premised on a moral examination of politics now joins almost every modern president in cashing in,” the Times boo-hooed. “And it shows surprising tone deafness, more likely to be expected from the billionaires the Obamas have vacationed with these past months than from a president keenly attuned to the worries and resentments of the 99 percent.”
