Isn't he the one constantly preaching about equality and wage gaps in this country? Just take it from the people who he preaches it for, right crazy leftists? No, I'm not a Republican either, I look both sides and apply common sense.

Exactly. They get $400k per year, zero expenses, countless expensive gifts, bribes, and insane speaking fees after they're out of office. There's absolutely no reason for them to receive a single cent from taxpayers after we finally get them out of office.
yup, this country has evolved into nothing more than a pyramid scheme. Most of our politicians (at every level, even local/state) are corrupt and their only interest is how to get the most money possible. Our parents gave up our voice in the 80s in favor of the wealthy, now we have none but we still sing land of the free every single day.
Maybe he's afraid that he won't be able to make outrageous money for private speeches once he's out of office. I know I wouldn't pay a nickel to go see him.

Obama doesn't give a shit and will do what he wants, no one will call him out because the spineless faggots are scared of being called racist.

As far as I'm concerned, there's not a single politician in DC who deserves a fucking raise, least of all Obummer.
Of course, they'll probably get it anyways.

$400k / year is already absurd given how rich you can become from having held the post.
$0/year seems more in line.

Did you guys forget that Bush doubled the presidential salary? 200K for Clinton, 400k for Bush.
That being said, we need to lower this if anything. Here's how the POTUS salary stacks up to other world leaders.

Passed by Clinton in 99. Took effect in '01.

Not to mention all the shit they stole from the WH when leaving before Bush.

Most of those other countries are smaller, some are the size of US states. Is it fair to expect Obama's pay to be the same as them.

Did they buy them? I assumed they were gifts or rentals for the night.
