Even as President Obama faces criticism, even from fellow Democrats, for getting $400,000 for a speech to a Wall Street bank, The New York Post reports he pocketed the same amount just this week for a second speech.

The Post reports Obama made another $400,000 on Thursday by giving a 90 minute interview at an A&E Networks event for the cable network’s advertisers.

So what earth-shattering information did that $400,000 get A&E?

A source in attendance said Obama talked about how he missed sitting on the Truman Balcony at the White House on summer nights and gazing at the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.

He also talked about how he’s learning to use the coffee machine at his new home.
