From what I've read, it's not about the amount of money for the people I've read who are criticizing. It's about the source of the income. The speech is to Cantor Fitzgerald, a Wall Street banking and investment firm. I didn't see those same people balking when Obama accepted the $65M book deal. That wasn't seen as a Wall Street type firm.
