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:
Why would anyone be a liberal?
He has never done his job so take back all his pay.
Charge Hillary for AF1 use
Yes and charge for Air Force One!
Suspend his pay forever. he has never done the job.
No raise and hang at Leavenworth you muslim$#%&!@*
Who’s doing his real job while he fly’s all over the country campaigning for that criminal?
Trump 2016 January can’t come soon enough!
While he campaigns for Hillary? Let’s withhold all politician’s pay to around $80K/yr. If one can’t live on that, then there’s something wrong. I have to live, maintain a household, pay my bills, my taxes, get groceries and keep me clothed all for around $39K/yr. I don’t have 2, 3, or 5 mansions that I can vacation in when I want to. I can’t submit a travel voucher each and everytime I take a trip to ANYWHERE. The American taxpayer I”m sure will not reimburse me for my gas. So why should we dole out $Millions for their livelyhoods? Afterall, they don’t inviteme to their parties?
Suspend his pay and send him to jail with the Clintons!
