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:
Better yet, he should have been put on an “hourly salary” … then we could have saved tons of $.
impeach him for wrong doing and loose his retirement and anymore money the rest of this year..all travel for him shouldn’t be allowed…in other words put him on house arrest..
Who is he to compaign in our jet ???? your fired !!!!
he is an african sand lizard and doesn’t deserve anything from america send it back to africa!
Wish this could happen
We’re better off that he doesn’t perform his duties as president! He sucks!
Just because he is a de ocrat he takes off work to support her???
We can ask till the cows come home but they will take what they want and leave us with the bill as usual!
