Barack Obama has been campaigning for Hillary Clinton for months. This week, Michelle Obama joined Clinton on the stump for the first time. This has many people asking, who is paying for these campaign trips?
The answer is simple. You are.
Barack Obama’s taxpayer-funded paycheck continues whether or not he’s performing his presidential duties — even if he’s working for another presidential campaign.
Obama has even extended presidential privileges directly to Hillary Clinton, allowing her to fly on Air Force One during her campaign.
Now, many Americans are attempting to stop this apparent conflict of interest.
A petition has begun circulating that demands that Barack Obama not collect his salary while he campaigns for Hillary Clinton. See the petition on the next page:
I agree that pay should be suspended. If he wants to campaign he should do it at his own expense including the cost of operating Air Force One. No right for taxpayers to pick up his tabs. He has already wasted too much.
While at the same time, the dnc should have to repay the American people for the cost of operating Air Force One while he is campaigning for the beast..
I agree!!
I say make him return the money it takes to fly Air Force ONE and provide personal security. ALLEN W.
I hate to upset you, but that was not a sentence.
Damn straight, he has been spending our money stumping for Clinton and we want our money back, he is as crooked as Hillary.
He don’t deserve anything else for being what ever kind of President you think he might be he’s done enough to this country he needs to pay back the people for the rest of his life or he needs to be shot for treason to the United States
might as well, he is off duty anyway
It is a must
