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:
Suspend his pay for time he’s not doing the job?
Sounds fair.
It’ll never happen though.
Nor will he be brought up on charges for his violations to his oath of office.
Won’t matter how many names are on the petition, and even if it did happen, it’s not going to hurt his wallet that much. None of these politicians income is based on their salary. Hillary for example claims an income of 10 million a year just for herself. That’s not counting her husband, or the foundations who’s finances she controlls. She insists she’s not corrupt, but her salary is only $150,000 a year, so arithmetic disagrees with her.
Lol oh God
Where do I sign that petition?
I have never seen a sitting president do this!!
There is no one to see about this because all republicans bow to him and hillary
Make that corrupt$#%&!@*pay for the AF1 trips too
Good
DOCK HIS PAY!!!!!! Goldbricker on our dime!!!
The American people desires more from our president he will spend 30 million dollars of the tax payer money campaigning for the most corrupt person to run for president just think what that money could do to help our school in the inter cities or help or vet our the shelter for the homeless it angers me to know that the corrupt people in Washington are setting the example for our children they lie they steal and cheat to archive what they want they are telling our kids it ok to do criminal things
i like that idea congress has betrayed us
