president of a country of people who doesn t make near that. seven times the average income for family. but he is speaking the way he thinks. he has got to stop doing that. every time we do what you re doing right now, we say learn how to talk regular american people. he gets more and more withdrawn. this goes back to his al gore problem. he s so afraid of what might come out of his mouth, he s thinking it through, which makes him make more mistakes, which is why you got that absurd clintonian qualification. but we know what he means. he has $215 million in net worth. he has 1% a year on his income. so compared to that, the $300,000 in speaker s fees is relatively a small part of his income. if he makes 10%, he s making $25 million a year. a pretty good salary.
