President Obama and what his paycheck looks like…

How much money does Barack Obama our President earn? Well many people don’t know or even cared, but for those of you that don’t know, here it is.President George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush welcome President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, on the North Portico of the White House in Washington a few hours before Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.I wonder if Bush made the same amount? Does any of you out there know how they determine what the President makes?

President Obama will earn $400, 000 annual salary. He gets  a hefty           $50, 000 expense account for general stuff. He gets entertainment accounts, travel expense accounts. He is paid quite a bit. The only thing he has to pay for is his food, and that is where the money from the expense accounts comes in at. So as we see. President Obama and his family are set. Now some of you may argue that he is not being paid enough for the job he has to do, and some of you will get angry that he is being paid too much. To the first I say, who ever gets paid what they rightfully deserve? To the second I say, if Tiger Woods or Larry Bird can get paid millions for getting a ball into a hole, then surely President Obama can earn a measley 400 grand a year to run a freaking country. Now that is what I am saying.

Another thing I am saying, it took President Barack Obama more money to get to the Whitehouse than he will make if he serves 2 terms. So you do the math. He is not in it for the money.

  1. Ok so then if Obama paycheck comes from illicit funds from US citizens, then all of them were compensated the same way. So where is the problem then? I don’t see one. What works for one works for the other and if I am to find fault with President Obama, they are all guilty, every president from the beginning of time.

  2. the president’s paycheck comes from illicit funds – meaning his pay comes from taxes which are extorted from us citizens, whether we like the job he’s doing or not. and who needs $400,000 a year when you’ve got the power to help your friends earn billions and send your enemies to the poorhouse? Look at Clinton and the millions he’s gotten from chinese supporters, or Bush/Cheney and their ties to big oil. Obama and his friends in the financial sector make convenient bedfellows…
