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:
He should be packing his$#%&!@*
what ever happen don’t let him give himself a 17% raise before he leaves office
Yes it should be
Yep. He’s not being paid for this BS
What about the cost of air force 1 and Michelle too
He also needs to pay for the use of the jet, not us.
Funny, this has never seemed to be an issue for any other presidents.
Impeach his sorry$#%&!@*

Ok, I’m not an Obama or Hillary fan, but would all of you be saying the same thing if this was a Republican president campaigning for a Republican candidate? I think not.
