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:
With hold his pay and charge him for plane and anything else he wastes.
Sure fine him 20 thousand while he spends 3.8 million on a golf game with Tiger Woods. Put this putz in JAIL.
He does not deserve pay while campaigning. What are you Hillary’s baby sitter.
I agree
10 more days to go, America. Get your heart and soul together.
We are going to change Washington this time. Your final verdict.
Too bad Bernie Sanders caved in, Donald Trump will not.
Politicians told us change in 2008, we have no change left.
Our nation is bleeding, we cannot let our grandchildren pluck the leaks with their little fingers while politicians are getting rich and having good time.
This is your chance, let your voice be heard.
Vote November 8! No more excuse.
While we’re at it…let’s insist he repay all the taxpayer money he has wasted so far.
And get money for the use of AF-!.
Yes and they cut SS to some of us Seniors to the point we can barely live.
Not only should his pay be withheld he should be paying out of his pocket Air Force 1 it’s not supposed to be a campaign plane
AND CHARGE HIM FOR THE USE OF AIR FORCE ONE.
