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:
Finally someone agrees with me.
Bill Hillarys campaign for the cost of Air Force One, 200,000.00 per hour.
Yup. He shouldn’t get pay for campaigning. That’s not his job. He should also have to reimburse the government the use of air force 1, the staff, and all consumables when is campaigning.
Withold his pay until he stops that pipeline.
I think he needs to be hung in the public square for treason and terrorism.
he should be docked for the time he takes off to campaign for clinton, that is not part of his job as president go back and dock him for all the time he took off.
