" refers to an opportunity for personal gain - not a chance to do a good deed. It sounds a lot like the former Governor of Illinois when he was recorded talking about the "goldmine" that existed in his opportunity to sell Obama's Senate seat. All Ralph needs to do is to kiss up to the visiting king a little bit.
