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.

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.

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.
