On Friday, Clinton was asked by New Hampshire Public Radio how the average person should view the hefty speaking fees?
I spoke to a wide array of groups who wanted to hear what I thought about the world coming off of my time as secretary of state, Clinton said, defending her decision to make money from speaking fees. I happen to think we need more conversation about whats going on in the world.

Whats more, though Obama fundraised for his p**********l campaigns from Wall Street, he never enriched himself personally as the Clintons have done.
Obamas ethics disclosures show that he made the vast majority of his income from royalties and advance money for his two books, Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope.
