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:
Don’t know if true but, I’m sure the Clinton Foundation will make up for any lost wages! Or it will come from some fund he taps from.
That 160k was a one time payment for that !#@$$! ‘s mom to babysit. But yeah take that back too! Agree with your post
Yes absolutely
He may as well do this he sure isn’t on vacation, golfing, entertaining his questionable friends….all on our dime
While campaigning..HE’LL. he and George Bush should pay back every dime they took (I did not say earned), for the terms they were in office
He should have to pay back the cost of campaigning for her.
IT SHOULD BE ! WHERES THE SENATE and CONGRESS !
What about the 2.8 million to play golf with Tiger Woods ? We paid for that game!
Yes
