After eight long and infuriating years, president Barack Obama is finally set to leave the White House for good on Friday, January 20th, 2017. With his departure, he leaves behind a legacy of increased racial tensions, sky-high public deficits, and the spread of radical Islamic terror across the Western world. One thing he isn’t leaving behind, however, is his presidential paycheck.
Despite the fact that he will no longer be serving as the country’s chief executive, Obama’s disastrous run as president has earned him the right to a taxpayer-funded salary for life.
Unhappy with this fact, lawmakers in Washington D.C. sent a bill to Obama’s desk that would decrease the amount of money Obama would make as a former president.
Of course, Obama vetoed the bill immediately and released a message in order to explain himself.
See Obama’s lame excuse for the veto on the next page:

President Kennedy put the man on the moon! Obama put the man in the ladies room!
He;ll go down in history as the worst president ever!!!
Hes not getting anything, I hope Trump sues him for all the America taxpayer money he wasted on campaigning for Hillary, that would garnish his salary and pension for the rest of his life.
This dude is lucky if he doesnt end up dragged before the Hague
Mr trump will soon strip that away
worthless piece of s–t.
Not worth two cents!
A cut to his salary would hurt people that continue to work for him after he leaves or other past presidents? It would also hurt other government employees and services? I think that’s how he explained it in corrupt lawyer language, oh wait, corrupt ex-lawyer because he was disbarred in 2008. Haven’t read it anywhere yet but I’d love to see the reason he increased Secret Service protection for himself from what would have been 10 years to now lifetime. He did include the other 4 living presidents which was a smoke screen to cover him doing it for himself. Not sure if an Executive Order was used for the lifetime protection. Looks like Congress would have to approve that since it deals with having to replace agents and the salaries. Hurry up January 20, 2017.
CONGRESS CAN OVERRIDDE THE PRESIDENTS VETO. THAT IS IF THEY’RE NOT TO AFRAID OF HIM.
