President Barack Obama, in his last year in office, seems to already be looking toward retirement — and he’s demanding that U.S. taxpayers give him a big pay raise moving forward.
Since 1958, former presidents have been given a substantial pension by taxpayers, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to cover any expenses they have.
According to a report released Thursday by the Congressional Research Service office, after he left office next year Obama was set to “receive a pension that is equal to pay for Cabinet Secretaries …which for calendar year 2015 was $203,700.”
That’s a lot of money, especially considering that former presidents often make a fortune writing memoirs and on the lecture circuit (Bill Clinton has made $132 million from paid speeches over the past 14 years).
But it’s apparently not good enough for Obama, who is attempting to get himself an even bigger payday on the taxpayer dime.
In his Fiscal Year 2017 budget, Obama requested $3,865,000 in appropriations for expenditures for former presidents, an increase of $588,000 (17.9 percent) from the FY2016 appropriation level.
The proposed increase also includes a bump in Obama’s pension and the pension of other former presidents.
The report also talks about criticism of the Former Presidents Act, which is the law that requires taxpayers to support ex-presidents for the rest of their lives.
“Some critics of the Former Presidents Act say the statute subsidizes Presidents who are not struggling financially,” the report said.
This story first appeared in the Washington Free Beacon.
Military and civilian federal workers got pension cuts recently. Yet, the ones that discourage public and private pensions seek to get more out of the taxpayer for THEIR retirement. Hypocritical parasites.
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!!!
Why has this not been reported elsewhere? It appears to be just one more false, groundless claim about Obama. It probably belongs in the same category as claims that he’s a Muslim, born in Kenya, planning to have Hillary appoint him as a Supreme Court justice, and generally devoted to bringing down the American republic. In fact, during his tenure, he can claim: that the Great Recession has evolved into a strong economy with the lowest unemployment rate in decades,a resurgent real estate market and automobile industry, cheap gasoline, 14 million more people with health insurance, lowest troop deaths in 13 years, a scandal-free tenure, a beautiful and enviable family, and respect around the world, just to mention a few accomplishments.
God will judge all
Anyone who thinks Obamacare is great is not part of the working middle to lower class worker as I am. We live with the real consequences of Obama’s rule! My company layed off nearly 200 people and they said it was due to Obamacare when they called us in to the Assembly hall to get the news. They could not afford it so they gave employees reduced hours from 40 to 29. And, this was not an isolated case. My sister, my brotherlaw and newphew all suffered due to this. Additionally, they had to go out and get their insurances and when they tried to get Obamacare insurance, it more than what they found on their own. AND their insurance is not that great cause that’s all they can afford! If Obama’s reign is without scandal its because he is the darling of the media and blind people. The military also suffers under his Rules of Engagement which is unbelievable since they just cant shoot back when they are attacked and they are under constant stress over this. This is what I have heard from friends who have sons in the Military. They said they need Obama out soon. The list goes on and on. He sure as hell does not deserve a raise instead a boot in the behind for being such a horrible president.
Surely you are saying this, tongue in cheak! The unemployment numbers are focgored, figures don’t lie but liars do figure. Everything he has touched is now worse than it was. I am not certain we can limb out of the mess he as made.
Did you miss the report link? http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL34631_20160316.pdf
V Carrera….in what world are you living? Obama has made things worse. The unemployment numbers are a joke as they don’t account for the biggest group of unemployed, which has more that doubled under his tenure….those actually unemployed. The unemployment rate doesn’t take into account those that aren’t currently looking. Under his reign, those unemployed is actually close to 100 million with half of that on food stamps…which has also double under his tenure. Tell me how those are great numbers. And lower gas prices is not necessarily a good thing for the economy. It’s good for the consumer, but it doesn’t always equate to a strong economy which we are not even close to. If we had such a strong economy, then why was the stock market at rock bottom at the beginning of the year. If gas prices drop too low, that’s disasterous for the overall economy more times than not. And how has the housing market improved all that much? And the auto industry? Rates for cars and mortgages are still very low. This is not indicative of a strong economy that you “see.” Liberals always think that because people who are in the lower class or jobless can buy houses and cars more easily, that its a better market and beneficial to the economy. Far from true. What happens when those people default on their loans and mortgages? It’s not good. It’s bad for the economy. Look at the 08 crash. For evidence of that.
please move back to whatever planet you came from!
True! if he can’t live on over 200,000 dollars then he should go to the Appalachian Mts in VA and live with the coal miners. He would learn how to live on maybe 25,000 or nothing if they shut down the coal industry.He needs a lesson in economics. Or go back to live in Africa with those poor people that has nothing except the rich like him that takes every thing from from the poor. Everyone since he has been in office has taken a pay cut and it will get worse if we don’t elect anew President and he stays in office for another full year besides this one.
SOCALISM IS ALIVE AN WELL, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES MONEY? 50% OF THE COUNTRY IS ON WELFARE AND THEY WANT MORE! THE COMMIE BERNIE TRIBE WANT FREE EVERYTHING, BERNIE SAYS WE WILL GET IT FROM THE RICH, BERNIE DOESNT HAVE A CLUE, MAYBE A TOUCH OF STUPIDTIMERS DISEASE, THE RICH HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE USA. PEOPLE THAT HAVE MONEY HAVE WORKED FOR IT, AND THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO KEEP IT. BERNIE IS IN A BUBBLE, WITH OBUMBA AND THE WITCH
It’s not free!!!
You are dead right. Bernie and his ilk say we’ll get the money for all the ‘free stuff’ from the rich; what happens when the rich aren’t rich anymore? Like you said (you and Margaret Thatcher) “Socialism is fine until you run out of other peoples money”
Not all the Rich help people with less, but there are a lot that give LOT’s of money for the needy.
Don’t make the rich not want to give their money to help others.
how many outrageous requsets, comments and executive orders we going to put up with?
WE NEED TO IMPEACH THIS CORRUPT SO CALLED leader?????????? That has occupied our White House
this would eliminate all perks and retirement benefits to this person who has sold our country
down the rabbit hole
AMEN TRUE STATEMENT HE IS RIDICULOUS
He wants a raise for being so kind to illegal immigrants and not enforcing immigration laws. I could go on and on with his failures, but we all know what they are.
Worst idiot ever to be elected.
Ship His ass Back to Africa where that SOB came from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he’s currently a milionaire without his salary.. former presidents shouldn’t need a pension at all as they can get another job or live off the interest from their earnings while in the white house. especially ones who abuse the system and even vacation on our money in luxurious style while serving their country. i wouldn’t mind a modest once a year vacation.. but DANG…what he and his family are doing can’t be considered modest by any standard. once he hits retirement age, he can live off medicare and social security like everyone else. i can’t imagine any company in the free world paying out that kind of money to someone who no longer works for them.
I’m glad he brought up this pay raise topic. It will be a good time for the discussion about an early termination with no benefits since he has already stolen more than that from the taxpayers.
Best move to have Obama impeached before January 21, 2017
“That will start making America great again”
Not Really, we would have to completely clean house. And this is what Trump wants to do. And this is what has all the leftists upset.
It came up in the Senate before for impeachment, but the d emos stopped it.
Bill, I agree. This illegal idiot has soaked the taxpayers long enough. We have subsidized this jerk’s vacations which over the 7 years have cost taxpayers over 100 million dollars; what an extravagance? All ex-presidents should get a pay cut, just like Obama’s policies have done to old people on Social Security and the military retirees. I say do nothing on this parasite and make him live on the millions he is worth.
Too bad it will never happen… There is noone that has the guts to do it in Washington.
America, we’ve got to get rid of all up there and start all over again if we ever want to have a future in America again…
Ell: Were did you get that number that 50% of the people of the USA on welfare? From Rush Limberger or Hannity? Let me know please.
the actual number is closer to 47% on welfare of some kind
you must be one of them dar eeditees on the 50% and yall are loving it cause your beutocks is up and you are yelling for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stupid cannot ever be fixticated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really? They earned it ? By stealing from the poorer people by controlling the interest rates on mortgages and such as they need ? So the end justifies the means. When they come for your money, just hand it over quietly…
The solution?
VOTE TRUMP! VOTE TRUMP! VOTE TRUMP! VOTE TRUMP! VOTE TRUMP! VOTE TRUMP!
If Trump or Clinton becomes President, look for 8 more years of Obama
where have you been? salary is $400,000 per year plus 50k in expenses.
wake up
50K in expenses? That is 1 1/2 hours flight time in Air Force 1 which has been his personal air taxi for over 7 years. Just his vacations have cost American Tax payers 1.3 Billion dollars. Worst case of an American of African descent rich anybody has ever seen. You awake Ron?
Try again, the GAO,(Governmental Accounting Agency), who keeps track of ALL government spending, has stated Obamy, and family, has spent over $70 MILLION taxdollars on ALL his vacations since he took office. We still have almost 10 monthes left.
His “butch” wife, “Mucherell”, along with those two little brats, spent something like $3 million on that little holiday to Europe.
It’s time for “Revolution!”
Bill just said his vacations cost over $100,000,000 Jeffrey says they cost 1.3 billion dollars Crazy Elf says over 70 million. Which one is it really? See how totally ridiculous you people are?
That’s his salary….not his pension. The very first thing I’d do is cut out ANY pension until he turns 65; that’s what WE have to wait for isn’t it?
when he is out of office hang the bastard
If I had my way, he’d get nothing. He’s done nothing but ruin this country, crap on the military and the VA doesn’t even answer the phone any longer for the vets. He’s the worst president ever, IMO, and it seems he’s being paid to mess all over our friends and kiss up to our enemies. I’d give him nothing.
Shipfixr is right. Fair is fair. People in public office need to be subject to the same rule regarding retirement as the population they serve are under.
I agree! He needs his salary cut on what he gets now not what he really worked for. He’s a do nothing president. Worst president we
‘Be ever had.
the BUM doesn’t need a pension he is worth millions and he only should be paid SS like the rest of us like you said.at 65 . Put his @ss on Obamacare and see how he likes his signature healthcare plan.
Absolutely. Shipfixr is correct on the age for a pension. Most presidents leave office in that age range. He has some time to find a menial job to fill the years, until he hits 65.
remember, he gets to keep all the money he received from other
people for his campaign and that should be in the billions. I think
they should have to turn over all money not spent on his campaign to the party, and that should go to pay off the debt he put us in.
I agree with everyone here. Why do Presidents get a salary after they leave their office? I don’t keep getting paid after I leave a job. They should all be on Obamacare and see how they like it. I don’t think any of the Washington job including congress, senate or President seats should get paid the amounts they get paid. It should be a public service. The men in the military don’t get paid that much and those heroes lay down their lives for us everyday they are in Iraq and all those middle eastern countries! They are the ones that deserve it. Also, we should not allow anyone to serve as President that has not served in the Military. They should be able to show just how much they love this country! And sad to say that Jeff Flake and other senators like him are traitors. They agree with everything Barry Hussein Obama says and does! We need to vote those traitors out of office.
I wish people on Social Security got $25,000 a year. I live on the average SS of $16,000 a year, you should try it sometime when there has basically not been an increase in the last 6 years but everything else has doubled. The sorry S O B mulatto needs to learn how to manage his money.
Oh so true. I would like a vacation also but I live on about the same and the politicians can’t think past their or our checkbooks. Let them get a real job and see how that works out for them. They are to lazy for a real job.
$1485.00 monthly for me. And at least twice and maybe three times Obama has refused to give us an annual cost-of-living raise.
I think his pension should consist of a rail and a big bucket of tar. That’s about all it” deserves
No SS raise 3 times since he has been President!
You said it and I agree!
Hey Buzz: Don’t forget the feathers.
NO THE SORRY OLD SCUM RAT NEEDS TO TRY TO LIVE ON MY ANNUAL SOCIAL SECURITY OF $8580 THATS $715 A MONTH.
BUT THEN HE HAS HIS SORRY SOCIALIST BLACK NOSE SO HIGH UP IN THE AIR HE CAN’T SEE DOWN!!!!!!
They get super rich while we, on SS get crumbs and no bread. Get lost, Obama, we can’t wait till your’e gone.
Amen to that!!!
My Social Security check is a huge $671/mo. No wonder they want to cut it, I’m bleeding the system dry! If it were $50K+ though it would be okay. F’ing DC. Always with their heads up where they don’t belong. No wonder many are called, quite rightly, shitheads.
WELL ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT HIS FAT WIFE IS GOING TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS GIVING UP THEIR VACAVTIONS THAT HAVE COST US THUS FAR $78 MILLION DOLLARS. HE DEFINITLY WON’T GET THE BOOK MONEY AS MOST AMERICANS ALREADY KNOW WHAT A ASS HOLE AND DISASTER HE HAS BEEN THE PAST 7 YEARS. TOLD US ALL HE INTENDED TO BRING OUR COUNTRY TO THEIR KNEES AND HE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. NOW THE STUPID PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPPORTING THE LESBIEN CLINTON TO CONTINUE THE RAGE. THEY BOTH NEED TO BE PUT IN PRISON THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND THEN WE ONLY HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR PRISON CHARGES WHICH CAN BE KEPT AROUND $25,000 A YEAR. THEY ALL ARE A DISCRACE TO MY COUNTY AND MY FAMILY. I AM FINISHED WITH THIS ALL.
I agree, they cannot help the vet’s or give seniors a raise but spend 20,000 for dresses ,millons on her vacation to italy. The obama’s and clinton’s have lived off the tax for years. Get a job like everybody else.
Pay him what he is worth nothing
I can’t believe that Obama wants a raise. He hasn’t done anything the whole time he was in office. He really needs a cut in pay for doing nothing. I live on a small pension and social security because there wasn’t a raise for SS this year.
US SENIORS NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT NOT GETTING A RAISE. I’M SO FED UP WITH THIS GOVERNMENT. CONGRESS GETS A RAISE EVERY YEAR, BUT NOW THEY ARE GETTING VERY SECRETIVE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT US TO KNOW HOW MUCH THEY GET. LETS GET THEM ALL OUT OF THERE AND HAVE A REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY. WE NEED TO START ALL OVER AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE CHANGED THE LAWS TO SUIT THEMSELVES. THEY DON’T GO BY THE CONSTITUTION AT ALL. DON’T TELL ME THERE ISN’T AN INFLATION IN THIS COUNTRY!! WHY IS EVERYTHING GOING UP EXCEPT OUR SS. WE CAN’T KEEP UP ANYMORE WITH THE MONEY WE ARE GETTING. DO NOT GIVE OBAMA A RAISE!! MAKE HIM GO FIND A JOB DIGGING DITCHES.
Well, go get your gun and fire the first shot.
Janet, agree with you, clean up Washington!
I’m with Janet. Totally ‘fed up’ with this entire lousy administration. The polticians are a bunch of greedy, blood sucking scum bags. The State of IN passed a bill that will limit the term each Senator and Representative can serve. It takes, I believe, 34 States to do the same and then it WILL become law of the land. That is the ONLY way we can get rid of the rot in DC. Career politicans have to go. I would encourage everyone to check with their State to see if they have gotten on board with this ‘term limits’ for Congress. People keep pulling the same lever blindly at each election cycle. Term limits will put an end to that. As far as a raise for the O….he isn’t worth the pay he’s already getting. I would have fired him after the 2nd year in office….allowing the first year to ‘learn’..which he has never done. In all fairness..he did tell the American people he was going to ‘fundamentally transform America’ and he has done that….very sad to say 🙁
He has been a gimme gimme the whole time has charged the taxpayers for all their trips especially the personal ones has just charged us for several thousand dollars for his daughters über expensive gowns to attend a dinner and they’ll never wear them again. No way on God’s Green Earth should he get any kind of raise or extra compensation ! Those dollars should go to the pays of our military and vets that he already lowered put those back in place out of his money!!
Right on,.. NOOBAMA needs FREE NO RETURN TRIP back to Africa,… so the dirtY S.O.B. can take a BIG BATH IN A HOT TANK OF TAR HEAD FIRST!!
I believe the dresses were on loan.
Right-On Beth Can You See The “Simularity” Between Bernie Sanders And The “On-The-Dole Obamas”?? Never Had A Real Job Between The Two “Dead-Beats”!! God Bless The “Donald J. Trump All Class Family” Vote Trump.
my heart bleeds for him. he’s as crooked as the clinton’s, i don’t even know what he’s done in eight years? oh wait, he’s cut our social security, he’s given iran 150 billion, he’s put us in debt 20 trillion, etc. etc. that’s what he gets for no legacy, can’t even write a book. he’s shameful!
I personally believe that he should be charged with treason and aiding and abetting our enemies; if found guilty, which he is, his total pension and rewards should be lifetime membership at Gitmo.
I agree with Roger donnie!!!
According to what I’ve read in some other venues, Obama has already bought his mansion in Dubai.
Guess he needs the raise in order to support his
prospective new lifestyle. It costs money to run with
the REALLY big boys, and the American taxpayer
will be expected to foot the bill, once again.
NO THE SORRY OLD SCUM RAT NEEDS TO TRY TO LIVE ON MY ANNUAL SOCIAL SECURITY OF $8580 THATS $715 A MONTH.
BUT THEN HE HAS HIS SORRY SOCIALIST BLACK NOSE SO HIGH UP IN THE AIR HE CAN’T SEE DOWN!!!!!!
Exactly!!
This dude does NOT deserve the $400,000.00 he receives as occupant of our White House now. He certainly does NOT deserve a retirement pay raise….and Bill Clinton does NOT deserve his retirement money either, after all that was spent on his House of Representative hearings on his dialiances with Monica Lewyinski under the Oval Office desk. AND with the amount of money this dude has taken from the United States treasury for his and the family’s extravagant Hawaiian vacations, and Michelle’s trip a few years back to France, the government should withhold his total pay for 2016, and even that would not begin to cover the cost of these trips and golf outings!
IF it would get the F-er OUT of my life forever I’d agree
The Obamas has taken everything a way from us and now they want more if they can’t live on what they get now than they need to really cut back on the way the live after all we been having to cut back more and more because of Obama.
Do you mean the coalminers he’s trying to put out of work???
Obama has been out of touch since 2008…… he doesn’t deserve a dime.
But we all get what we deserve for offering weak candidates such as Bob Dole, John McCain, and a double dose of Mitt Romney…..shame on us all for believing in the lies.
Please don’t put Bob Dole and Mott Romney in the same category. Bob Dole is a Veteran who has suffered from the wounds he received, while fighting for all of us.
I’d say give that so called increase to our Military Personnel that so Deserves it and CUT Obomas in Half.
The whole congress needs to go back to school and learn to balance a check book.
He should be paying the taxpayers of the United States for all the excessive expenses he abused.
Wonder what other job gives you full retirement after 8 years of work!
8 years of WORK ??? He was basically AWOL when he should have been making important decisions
and the remainder of time he was attending GOLF outings.. We need to CUT his retirement benes
or better yet he should get NOTHING at all !!!
you are right on milt, he’s a disgrace!
what work, all he does is play golf and take trips. tell me something he’s done that’s been worthwhile?
His legacy is devastating costs to the taxpayer. This loser has done NOTHING of benefit to our country or its people. It disgusts me to think we will continually waste money on his unearned perks and secret service protection.
Very small(token) or no raises in social security but this egocentric idiot who bought his own Nobel Peace prize needs, NO, Wants a retirement raise. This Former Presidents Act needs to be repeal. Wages and benefits for government need to be dialed back to something normal. Lower secretarial wages are 203K? 100K would be more proper.
Yes, and you can be sure to count on more of the same if that treasonous Hillary Clinton gets elected! I don’t know for sure but at this point it appears Donald Trump is the only candidate who wouldn’t be greedy enough to want more of our tax dollars to feather his own nest! He has more of his own dollars than he could ever need! AND at this time Trump has stated he’s plans are for the safety of the American people by first doing something about securing our borders, then pull back the millions of dollars the US has been giving away to all the countries that despise the USA and use it more on helping our own citizens in need, he wants rebuild and strengthen our military and then take out ISIS once and for all! So . . . maybe, what we really do need for a true leader in this country and for the free world is an “Ass kicker” rather than a couple of “Ass kissers” like Obama and Hillary!
Love what You had to say Jerry…You Hit the Nail Right on the HEAD…This bum and Moochell has had a Free Ride on Our Dimes..Lavish Vacations for all their family members and Staff it’s Sickening…They’ve Never Lived so Good in their Lives…And Moocchell Said She’s Never Been Proud of America….She ought to get down on Her hands & Knee’s and thank her lucky starts that she got to be the first lady…The First Class-less First Lady We’ve Ever Had, along with her husband The First Black President…WHO DID NOTHING TO MAKE AMERICA BETTER!!! HIS LEGACY…THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!!
Right on Jerry!!!!
I cannot believe that the Hillary BITCH was allowed to run for President. Mr. Snowdon did nothing in comparison. Obama cannot talk about anyone being a racist. He has been sleeping with the hate MONGEL FOR MANY YEARS. Maybe Hillary has too. No white children have been allowed in his communist domain for almost eight years. NOW THAT IS FULL HATE COMING FROM OBAMA THE DICTATOR.
AMEN!!! TOTAL AGREEMENT HERE!!!
Nothing??????? HaHA EVERY TRIP HE TOOK COST THE TAX PAYERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS hIS LAST VACaTION TO HAWAII RAN INTO Millions of $$; hE THINKS hE IS A kING, Yes King of …………..no words to describe his folly or his hidden agenda..
Check out Trunews.com for some truth in news the lame steam media chooses to ignore
What 8 years,of work he occupied a house we paid for. His what ever wanted to be paid for spending are money. Country is in such bad shape and we have people defending him I’m missing something.
Think we should discount golf time?
8 years of work?? That’s really questionable?? What work has this socialist really do except ripped our country apart, caused deeper racial problems, taking our country down time the septic tank, let the money hungry government get to BIG for their britches that even now the poor get poorer. I’d like for this scum bag try to live on what my annual social security is $8,580. I refuse now to pay any taxes on this because I can’t afford it.
My brother has only a 1/3 of his lungs and twice he has been denied of his social security disability. People that really need their money they pay into and can’t receive it, what does this tell you about how sick our greedy gut government is?? Now this SCUM RAT wants a higher pension salary, I even shutter to think he deserves any thing but PRISON TIME for murder and treason.
God help us this evil perverted nation.
You mean 8 years of golfing and screw ups?
What work? Seems to me, we are paying him to play golf and ruin the country!
you forgot the beer guzzling, and cigar sucking shit head did.
Definately not being a teacher????
Amen, its a shame
This piss-ant, should repay ALL monies collected during his ILLEGAL presidency, AS, by his OWN admission, he is NOT, a citizen, or ANYTHING, that would make him qualified to be POTUS ! ! ! !
True too much already,he will suck our hard earn money with the debt of 11 million he accumulated on his watch and he never stop to suck more from us poor,sad.
Hypocritical parasite is appropriate and a very good term thank you
Obama is a thieving piece of s***. he’s gonna live in DC after the end of his term, so he doesn’t want to have to work after he’s gone. he’s probably figured out hes so worthless, nobody will hire him anyway.
He should freaking starve and then go back to Kenya
Well put!
Now that is not nice. Hear the UN will hire him. Maybe Iran? Cuba? Iraq?
I’ll bet that once he leaves office, he’ll don his Muslim garb again and start bowing down to more of the Muslim leaders that he’s been helping during his 8 years. Those Democrats and the media big wigs who supported and protected him by denying the truth and hiding all his lies for the past eight years should be ex-communicated from society and politics for the rest of their lives! They’re as destructive to our country and almost as bad as ISIS and those Radical Muslims!
I hope the people wake up and vote for Trump and not that hillery bitch, I cannot believe that bitch gets so many votes are the people in America really that sick.open your eyes people before it is to late.
Actually he should be made to retire on social security pay you know poverty levels.instead of screwing the tax payers
right on
I was shorted $2000/mo on my Federal retirement
plan. That’s half of the amount I should have received after 32yrs of service. When I asked about the discrepancy, I
was told that I’d calculated wrong, and that I was receiving the
maximum allowed under the current rules. I couldn’t afford an attorney, so I was forced to knuckle under. No recourse available.
Welcome to the Fed, idiot.
@ Jim; Sorry. I have a friend who suffered the same injustice. Sad when our government is as rotten as Madoff.
I was screwed out of about $51000. By the VA as I was told he was qualified for Assisted Living as I could not care for him, His VA Doctor signed the release of him from the VA nursing Home as if he stayed there he always had to move around every time a new patient came in as they were short on space and it was 75 miles one way for me to go see him. According to everything I read said he qualified, but you had to file and one of the Reps for the VA filled out all the paper work saying he would get it. The Assisted Living was $3000 a month and over the course of his time there I paid out of pocket and our savings, $81000. The Assisted Living kept denying it and saying he had to prove this, we had to keep taking him to the VA Hospital in Phoenix, showing proof of everything that he already qualified for till the day he died. I got a letter that because he had not signed the last appeal, it was all denied and the case was closed! I was left with a very bleak savings account that leaves me living on the monthly subsistence I get, that leaves nothing for extra things li8ke Property Taxes, any Major repairs like the AC that every time it’s fixed cost at least $1000. car repairs etc. Fight it, I need money to fight it. If I hire a lawyer and I lose I pay for everything!
Forgot to mention that he was 100% service connected disable, he actually had more than 100%!
Bless your heart……there is a website call “Go Fund me” where you can enter your story and download a photo of ya’ll together and watch the money roll into the account you set up. Good Luck and Blessings to you!
screw that piss ant we did not get a raise on S.S.BINIFITS HE CAN KISS MY ASS.
We need to stop this crap. He is not a King, thank God! Why should any president, on congressional personnel be permitted to collect a pension for life? They serve because they choose to serve and should be permitted to set up a 401k while in office and that is it. When they leave, they should leave with what they have got, save or invested in…not lifetime rewards beyond what I stated above.
Larry, you are so correct. Many people do not realize that even if a congressman/woman ONLY serves one term, they collect 100% of their salary for the rest of their lives! With that, they can be millionaires within 7-10 years. Some go back to their former job, business, or get outrageous sums of money for their boring – say nothing speeches. Look at what Slick Willie Clinton has raked in since leaving office. I would not give a single dime to hear him rattle on about all he did while wasting 8 years of our country’s money and ethics!
That is why we need Trump.
Do you ‘really’ think that he is any better than Lying Hillary? The only thing I see in him is his self pride, and we have that now in the White House.
Doubled the U.S Debt, Taking money off the Social security retirees, his dozens of Executive Orders, weakening our Constitution and our nation, illegals, welfare, on and on….. He should be fired or have the courtesy to step down but i’m sure the Elites will take care of him for doing a fine job for the New Order…
Wasn’t his payola enough spending millions on lavish vacations for himself and family and their friends, secret service through taxpayer dollars???
Take this and his low life wife of his, tell them both to get real jobs that they have to pay taxes on, and send them on their way or deport them. Lying thieving parasites that they are !!!! Enough fucking bullshit from these 2 and the rest of the money hungry Mongrols.
THATS A MOUTHFUL AND I AGREE WITH EVERY WORD YOU SAID. I AM 83 YRS OLD, BUT I WOULD JOIN A REVOLUTION IN THIS COUNTRY. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY ILLEGALS IN THIS COUNTRY AND SO MANY EVIL AND CORRUPT PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON. GET THEM OUT OF THERE!!! I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO WASHINGTON AND TAKE THEM OUT BY THEIR HAIR. I’M SICK AND TIRED OF GOING SHOPPING AND HEARING NOTHING BUT THE MEXICAN LANGUAGE. I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING AT THEM AND TELLING THEM TO GET OUT OF AMERICA.
One of the Worst Excuses for A Leader Of Any Country…Is This one..Name of b.Obama. How dare him Attempt Squeezing Every Thing Out of This Country But Its` very Breath it Needs just to continue Its continuing to Exist. There is no way the Citizens of This Nation are going to sit still for Him and His… family To rob us and furthering generations to come.
Obama has really not done much that will not be overturned by the next president. He has no legacy but arrogance and imposing his personal agenda on we the people who he is supposed to be serving, but he is clueless in this regard. His pay and pension should be drastically reduced for the lack of leadership and divisiveness he has brought to our nation. Thank you!
This so called President has lived off the tax payers all his life along with his low life welfare recipients He just wants to live better than them like all the lazy bastards. If he does not go down as the sleaziest laziest worst President ever than no one ever will. Except Hillary.
Put him on food stamps and send him and his family back to Kenya to live with his brother in a box!
that son of a bitch has the nerve to ask for a raise !!!!! he should pay all the money back for the last 7 years that he got and not earned it ,he is a parasite and should be treated as such ,the useless asshole ,
I so agree!
America’s least successful president, leaving us with many unanswered questions, getting a golden egg retirement
package. How better better spent it would be if our valiant military veterans had a raise instead.
that’s b******* Obama out of the fire Hillary Clinton not to be in jail can’t believe it all these senators and congressmen work for 4 months for years and get full benefits the rest of their life has b*******
He didn’t give us COLA raise and he wants to get as close to a billion dollars a year as Obama can get.
To have a President that shits on the people the way he does, and laughs about and then has the nerve to put himself in for a 1/2 million dollar raise. He makes 5 times that much now with his all expense job. He had COLA tell us Senior’s that we didn’t need a cost of living increase this year because the cost of FUEL was going down. With thing like that then he as President should take a CUT in Pay, because he doesn’t pay for fuel, the Tax payers do.
He has done nothing for the American Tax payer, be screw over us, takes our tax dollars, and Steals from S/S to give to Countries that hate us. He should ask the Muslim’s to give him a raise (Saudi), Oh his probably already gets millions form them, like Hillary just did, (5-million) for a talk they say.
No one on Social Security got even a cost of living increase. This is on payments of our own money appropriated by the government for its use. They should be paying us interest on it.
As for Obama! I suppose he wants us to continue paying for all his vacations as well when in fact we should be suing his ass for blatant misuse of public funds and abuse of the public trust. Just read that tuition for his kids is about $76,000 a year at private school for last 8 years.
Has that come out of taxpayer’s money also? Will it come out of that future “expense reimbursements” for former presidents that he wants an increase for?
This man is a narcissistic scumbag thief of the highest order.
Obama is a “Money Hungry Politician, who will Continue to “Feed of the Taxpayer’s Public Trough for ALL HE CAN GET.” He spent OUR tax dollars on his/family LAVISH VACATIONS, as IF, it was HIS MONEY. This Glutton along with his Wife? were like Kids in a Candy Store-starving, and turned loose….In Other words…He SPENT ALL HE COULD AND NOW WANTS MORE. THIS FRAUD, WASN’T WORTH A DOLLAR, FOR ALL HE’S DONE AGAINST AMERICA AND IT’S PEOPLE, and NOW TURNING AMERICA INTO A “DUMPING GROUND, WITH HIS ILLEGAL ALIEN/REFUGEE INVASION OF THIS NATION.”
This is a very good idea. Obama should get the Freedom Of Gitmo where he can live the rest of his life without any financial worries. An added benefit should be of Hard Labour so that he can keep fit. Perhaps he will have visitors rights to meet with other Jihadists so that they can plan the end of the world together?
Why not he has done such a great job fukking everyone else, that takes talent which, he should be rewarded for. Screw you Barack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bo & MO should pay back all the taxpayer money they’ve squandered on all their lavish trips ($90 million on the trip to Africa). They use Ait Force One like a taxi service. They should be in prison. It’s a more deserving home for them.
ted nugent for supreme court justice
Those on SS get no increase and yet this clown and his mooch partner want more money?It’s time for a repeat of the Boston tea party.
This country would sit and self destruct before folks would stand and fight for it. We’ve become too complacent, sit in front of our computers bitching hoping somebody else does it for us. This needs to change, our forefathers would have been firing long ago. We need a real million man march on washington while this creep is still in our white house.
ALL We need to do is sElect More Repooplicans and get rid of Speaker Boner………..roflmao
and Trump is “Not Conservative” enough! The Repoops need to reSelect Romney/Ryan at the convention to get true “conservatism”.
and Mitchy McCuckold says “Never” to Obamy Mammy on the Soopreme InJustice nominee………..
Bets anyone? Remember what happens in the “Lame Duck” Con-gress stays with the Cons.
What republicans? there are no true conservatives anymore. Trump is a freaking clown, he should run under the clown party. We absolutely need conservatives that wont bend under liberalism’s weight. We can’t wait for this to happen, voting republicans into congress and senate hasn’t done a damn thing.
He’s the best we have running. If you want more of this then vote for the Democrats! Better yet don’t vote.
Gen Early What are you smoking? you make no sense. Mit Romney is not electable he will split the party down the middle and Hillary will get in as President. The working people are tired of the establishment doing nothing but lining their pockets at the expense of the American people.
get rid of boner?, where have you been douchebag?
No, I disagree with you about Romney, HE IS A PAID PUPPET BY THE HIGH AND MIGHTY GOP AND ALL THE LEFTWENNIES. WE NEED TRUMP BECAUSE HE’S THE ONLY ONE THESE RICH SCUM BAGS FEAR THE MOST. Stop and think, why are they trying so hard to go out of their way to stop him??!! He’s going to turn their golden apple cart upside down!!!! Trump US going to plug up all their loopholes and make these high and might pay higher taxes instead of the poor and middle class forking it out all the time.
What I think is our time has come that we take our government and country back. We give this Scum Rat a choice that he either steps down with what is set in the constitution. But I really believe that our nation rally and demand IMPEACHMENT and then tried for murder and treason.
Boehner hasn’t been Speaker for months (Oct 2015). He’s also not a member of Congress. He retired.
I agree, we should make a plan to do such a march Ralph
AMEN!!!
My reply: “AMEN!”
was to Mr. Humphrey’s remark only. I hadn’t even read the others. Mr. Humphries excellent
remark was deserving of my AMEN!!!
If you will coordination it, I will participate.
how could anyone argue?
I’m ready. Let’s go.!
Name the date!
I’M 83, BUT I’M WITH YOU. LETS GO!!!
Let’s go.
Just name the date!
Those who worked and contributed get cuts. Those who just take get rewarded.
Very good Comment , It’s Funny that the Supreme Court Says that the Government Doesn’t OWE those that Pay Social Security Taxes out Of their Paychecks,Don’t Deserve a single dime and are actually Owed Nothing when it comes time to collect . This Bastard wants to Ask for a raise ,I thought the government Was Broke ,they are saying that The Social security Super fund Doesn’t even exist anymore because the Government has already spent all of the money that was there. It should be that The President get’s 1/2 of his yearly salary when he leaves office and be Happy with it, It’s Bad enough that they get Secret Service Agents to protect them until the day that they die.
How about that expense reimbursements clause! Will we have to continue to pay for Michelle’s 22 assistants also? Only other first lady to have more than one was Hillary who had 7.
Oh, and the 22 does NOT include the hair dresser and the make up person and the dog wrangler who fly on airforce one with them or follow along on a separate plane. All on our dime!
If we allow this insanity, we are as crazy as Obama is.
The folks that support democrats for the most part can barely read and write, that is a fact. Most have no idea whats going on or even what it means. Hell they don’t even know who Joe Biden is. This wont mean a damn thing to democrats.
haha. I think he means well educated, thinking, feeling humans…The Republicans do not vote for things that help other human beings..Donald Chump is their front runner??? A bigoted, unintelligent, angry, unhappy, classless, ignorant of life and politics neanderthal–really? Really? Shhh. Obama taking some extra money is the LEAST of our problems!!? Pray for Chump’s disappearance from our sight, and pray for this country. Peace✌????️❤️
Not giving him and all the other politicians a raise sure would help the budget. We don’t need to be giving we need to be cutting.
Sain Girl??? You mean insane girl. The democrats primary goal since 1964, when Lyndon Johnson started his “great experiment”, has been to build an electorate dependent upon the largess of the federal government at the expense of the middle class. Within a couple more decades their will be no middle class left and with 50% of the current working age citizens already paying no federal taxes this give everyone everything system will collapse. What we need is for corporate America to bring back the jobs that were sent to other countries and start employing Americans again. Trump is a successful businessman and understands this concept better than any of the other candidates from either party. The democrats offer us Hillary Clinton, a candidate with no success at anything other than lying, treason, obstruction of justice, and sheer arrogance. You need to go stick you head back in the sand because you only heed your opinions which are most likely based on your ill conceived perceptions and those of you ilk who are certainly the only ones to which you deign to listen. A fact would upset your factions perception of reality to such an extent that an apoplectic fit would surely ensue.
Sa-girl. Where does All your particular brand Of ”angst’ originate from ?a Poor Childhood ? Deprivation of Necessities ? Or Is it Simple and Pure… Jealousy of Anyone Who Obviously Enjoys The Good Life..Such as It Seems..Like The Donald has ?? We do not Need to Speak For Anyone But Our own Selves..AND Isn“t this Something we All Try to do…( each in Our Own Way..Whether in a Big time Manner..OR In a Tiny Voice OF Objection AT all the Injustices that are Happening All over This Universe ? Be Thankful There IS Someone Like Trump//One who IS Willing TO Do All He can Possibly DO..to At least ease Some of The Great Misery That Exists In our World. Give Him Credit for HIs willingness TO Stick HIS neck out..And Put himself Thru All of The “Indignities” he Has Thrown at him Every day..( And By Persons Too Ignorant To even Know How to Come in out Of The Rain Unless ‘MaMA’ Holds Their Hand.) SO..Stop IT. Be A Help ,,Not a Hindrance..Can you Try Doing That ??
Waaaacism!!!!! BLM! BLM! BLM! ………….
meanwhile BLM1 is seizing more ranch lands, this time in TX, but there is No Connection to previous BLM1 activities in NV, OR, WA, UT, NM, AZ …Nooooo connections, Comrades, none at all.
Outlawliberalism is Correct! He has accurately described the majority of ill informed Democrat voters (who are more concerned about their freebees) which is why there really SHOULD BE a test given about the USA that all voters must pass before you can even vote! Hell . . . . most of these Voters (On the take) are so ill informed they know very little about the US Constitution and many, for example; can’t even explain why there’s a Washington, DC (District of Columbia) why it’s not a State and why it was established ! Incidentally, I am also including the actor Alec Baldwin in this group, as well! He’s another one of those lying liberal Democrats who said if Ronald Reagan were elected President then he would leave the country and not come back! Well, he didn’t do it – did he? AND even after a number of Good Republicans offered to buy him a “one way” ticket out of here! I like him as an actor but his political statements reported in the media would be more suitable as wiping materials in an outhouse!
All old Presidents Clinton ,Obama ,Bush., Are crooks. We pions should not have to pay anything when these crooks get out they have stollen enough and they can get a JOB like the rest of us. They should get nothing.
Definition of peon
: a person who does hard or boring work for very little money : a person who is not very important in a society or organization
: a poor farm worker especially in Latin America
Good thing it doesn’t say good speller!
Obama needs to do 8 years constructive work in the 10 months time he has left and pay the taxpayers for all the vacations and golf trips he and his family have taken; who’s he trying to kid?
THE ONLY REAL HONEST PRESIDENT HAS BEEN HARRY S.TRUMAN!! HE LEFT OFFICE WITHOUT SECRET SERVICE AND ALL OTHER “AMENITIES” GIVEN TO ALL OTHER PREZs SINCE THEN. THESE A-RE MODERN CANCERS TO THE BUDGET AND MOOCHERS – WHO WILL SUCK THE BLOOD OUT OF A STONE IF THEY COULD. NOW THIS MOOSLEEN NEGGAH THINKS HE DESERVES A PAY RAISE? MY ASS-ETS.
This man has done nothing but take away all benefits to both seniors and the middle income families – he should get a pay CUT for all of the damage he has caused.
Well what would you expect from the Washington Cartel????? The most corrupt people in America. This is why all are afraid of Trump. He will break up their gravy train. It is about time.
I agree they know he will do a big clean up!!!
“F” the CamelDungKing
Once Presidents leave office, they should get nothing. GET A JOB! They can earn millions in paid speeches which is far more income than most Americans will ever earn. Our military works far harder than any President, and they put their lives on the line daily, yet when they leave the military, they come home and work unless they have been debilitated by some dreadful bombing or gun shot injury. Obama spends almost more time on the golf course than he spends in the Oval Office. He doesn’t deserve anything.
Amen to that. Get a job is right and NO Secret Service, No Pension. The people according to the left arent entitled to their OWN money from Social Security, but these pukes for 4 years in office are entitled to be pimped for their lifetime? Yeah NO
I am totally with you. And further, I don’t think Secret Service details are necessary either.
Appropriations for pensions should be distributed in raises among retirees and veterans, NOT the current White House leeches! We have done enough for them, and now they’re trying to bleed the Treasury as well. ENOUGH!
Why the hell do they get a pension after 4 to 8 years of work anyway? Everybody else on the planet has to put in 25 years to get benefits. This is some of the utter bullshit going on in politics.
In my opinion, this worst President in my lifetime deserved to be indited not commended.
Nearly everyone affiliated with the “IT” in the WH should be indicted for treason, or conspiracy to commit treason.
This sorry excuse for a human being deserves absolutely NOTHING!
You all hate him because he’s black. Period. There were way worse presidents, like the last one? who no one was as disrespectful to and hated so much. Let an educated, classy family get in there, and the bigoted, ignorant white men get crazy. It happens everyday–if it were put to an end in politics, the police wouldn’t be on such a killing spree!? Pray for yourself; ignorance ISN’T bliss!? Peace ✌????️
Has absolutely nothing to do with color! This has to do with performance.
No other president has done as much to undermine or steal from us as this one has. Nixon was impeached for far far less.
Obama is only still in there BECAUSE he is black. You must be one and one not paying your own way or you’d be pissed off too at your money being spent to let him lay around in Hawaii, golfing, and sending his kids to $80,000/year schools.
Name one thing he has done to really help this country!
If you had full time hairdressers and make up artists, paid for by someone else, you too, could LOOK classy. Doesn’t mean you are.
Oh stop it. No one is racist here! (ridiculous) They hate the division Obama causes (worse in the US since he took office), loss of jobs, 20 trillion dollar debt, treacherous Rules of Engagement in the Military (soldiers have orders not to shoot back at the vile enemies who hate the US), His lies regarding Benghazi (he and Hilary blamed it on a Video instead of sending rescue teams to help our beloved soldiers), He traded dangerous Muslims for Bergdahl who was a deserter. Obama DOES NOT RESPECT the Officers and Soldiers. He is the one that told us to get in the back of the bus (rude) and childish. He won with white votes but he seems to loathe this country. Read his books and you will find out this is not a lie. He is not liked cause he is a selfish and horrible President!!!!

They ought to reduce their pensions not increase them. Most of the retired living presidents live very well and makes loads of money doing all kinds of things like giving speeches and so forth! Non of the living ex presidents other than Bush Sr are worth the pensions let alone increases. Obama was the worst of them all was mostly a do nothing president and I made the mistake of voting for him twice.
Bush the Elder????? Are you kidding???? Mr. NWO himself! Let me know how you like the UN Agenda 21-35 Pogrom, comrade, when it comes to fruition.
Glad you recognize your mistake.
Just wish you had before repeating it the second time.
Hell no Once they leave office all monies should stop. They are making millions on lectures , books, etc. etc. . If they want a pension than they cannot charge for giving lectures. Talk about living off of the working class
I AGREE ,IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER TEA PARTY. GET YOUR MUSKETS OUT, YOUR PROBABLY GOING TO NEED THEM. THE SELF SERVING HAS GONE ON TOO LONG. AMERICA IS FOR THE PEOPLE , NOT FOR A FEW IN WASHINGTON DC, WHO HAVE BECOME A LEDGEN IN THERE OWM MINDES. TIME TO RETURN AQMERICA TO WHAT IS SHOULD BE.
Muskets? See what I mean? G-d help us ????????
For all the damage the community organizer has done to this country and especially middle class America he’s got the unmitigated gall to ask the taxpayers for a raise?! A majority of the people who elected him to two terms had the cumulative brains of a gnat and weren’t even taxpayers! They were freeloaders on welfare, etc. How low can this guy go!!
HOW DARE YOU TO TELL THE TRUTH !! (Sarc)
The only raise you and your ilk deserve is a foot in your posterior to raise you up and out of the White House .. You and those of your un – American un – Constitutional philosophy are parasites on the American people…
Oh, oh, another truth-teller on the loose……….
AN DONT LET THE DOOR HIT EM IN THE A$$ ON THE WAY OUT.
There should be a COMPLETE re-vamping of the ENTIRE congressional retirement system. The only thing that should be considered, is that after 8 yr’s in office, HE/SHE should not draw ANY retirement. They have made ENOUGH, on back room deals, stock scams, that only a few know,and, with their speaking fee’s, more than John Doe makes in a year, they DO NOT deserve any more tax payer’s monies for their retirement. ALSO, make them pay into SS, AND, pay for their own Hosp/Dental/Eye care on their own dime, NOT, taxpayer monies. Make them, subject to the same laws as the taxpayer, and NOT be given ANY free ride as to their previous position while in congress !!!!!
You probably have no idea as to how many Americans share your opinions. We should have thrown most of those bums, and those of their ilk, out of all government positions long ago. Our Founding Fathers have been rolling in their graves since 1903.
Stay your course, great post!!
I agree with Bill and Donald. WHY 1903 ? Income Tax was set up in 1913.
What a racket. I want to run for president after this
This guy does not deserve anything other than his salary. SS recipients did not get a cost of living raise so why should he. He has destroyed this countries financial status. He should be in the same shape. Give him a pay cut and use the cut to help pay down the debt. Also let him know he can start his retirement early. Next month would be fine. Just enough time for all primaries to vote and get some one else elected.
I am certainly ready for a TEA PARTY this president has wrecked our country. He has a lot of nerve wanting a raise!! Hillary will be voting for this as she will get a a raise also. Yet they do not feel bad taking our social security and all the tax increases they will be charging us to pay for their raise for continuing to destroy our country.
It is time we say enough!!!!!
I do not feel this is a personal attack. This is the truth!!
I’m with you . . .let’s clean house. But we need to educate all the vote we can to study the lives of the candidate . . then vote!
Most of Hillary’s time has to be spent not doing her job. After all she couldn’t be bothered to answer the cry for help from our Ambassador in Benghazi. Her time is spent trying to figure out all the other payoffs and kickbacks she can get and how she can money laundry it through the Clinton Foundation.
The amount so far is in the incredible billions.
So do you want her to get paid BY WE, THE PEOPLE for the rest of her life for using her position to channel even more money into her corrupt account? And don’t forget, when she makes deals to get that money, she is SELLING SOMETHING. She is selling out YOU!
Talk about rape . . . here’s a guy that doesn’t know beans about he real job of being a president and he wants a raise ????
He has already spent 1.4 billion, yup billion on his personal vacations and he’s not done yet. What do you suppose he went into the white house for? Of course, to take as much for himself personally, destroy a free USA and bring his Muslim buddies into power and support his wild spend free life! Hillary is right behind him guided by her Adulterer husband. What a stinking group
of grabbers we have on board . . . It’s time to clean house. Top to bottom
President Obama should not get ANY increase in his pension! This country owes over $8 TRILLION dollars in debt because of former President Bush & V.P. Dick Cheney commencing the Iraq war. As a Senior Citizen, I didn’t even get a COLA increase of 2 or 3% this year because gasoline prices were down. Well, gasoline prices have gone back up again. Does that mean Senior citizens will get an increase in fiscal 2017? Our legislators are all for themselves. They vote in laws to protect their vast fortunes, while the average United States citizen works like a dog for 50+ years, or until he/she dies. Every U.S. citizen should write/call their congressman and senators to COMPLAIN and advise them not to vote for any increase in pensions for ex-Presidents. They have already earned millions of dollars making speeches and writing books. Taxpayers even have to foot the bill for a presidential library when they leave office! I am totally fed up with our politicians and how this country is being run.
I cannot believe this request from this failure. He can’t live on 203,000, then he needs to rethink his spending. I am a 30 year DOD civilian employee retiree & I make it on 27,000 a year. We haven’t had a pay increase in several years, yet med ins goes up, taxes increase. Please DO NOT approve this. He has spent enough of our money!!!
why should taxpayers be asked to provide President’s salaries for the rest of their lives? they are not kings, regardless of what Obama thinks he is. They are ordinary citizens. They served because they wanted to President. After that they can do whatever it is they want to do, but not at the taxpayer’s expense. it’s like the military personnel; they serve and then they go on without help from the taxpayer. Those folks that see action should be taken care of by us (medical bills) but they do not receive a salary unless they serve 20 years. Nor Presidents nor Congressman should live off the taxpayers and they should receive the same medical benefits that the rest of the taxpayers recieve.
And just think, Trump will work for nothing. What a contrast between socialists and capitalists.
Poor Obama…He can’t live on a mere $200,000. Also watch Congress vote itself a pay increase to cover “rising living costs.” This is the same Congress which vetoed a pay increase for Social Security recipients because there was no increase in the cost of living. (Obviously, members of Congress do not go into grocery stores or pay utility bills.) However, Obama’s request for a pay hike is the most ludicrous of all.
Yea!!!
So much of this right wing information is completely inaccurate, I’ll withhold my comments for now. I will say that if he is so bad,why did we vote him in?
So many of us didn’t vote him in but we have had to live with the consequences of his being elected.
DARRELL WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE LAST 7 YRS? ARE YOU DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND? DID YOU HEAR THIS SOB WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT? EVERYTHING HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO — WAS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE DID. HE IS THE BIGGEST LIAR I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. HE DOESN’T DESERVE ANYTHING FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. PUT HIM TO WORK – HARD WORK!!!
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DENIED HIM 8 YEARS AGO & SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACCOMPANIED BY HIS IMPEACHMENT. BUT OUR COURAGEOUS CONGRESS IS AFRAID OF IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS & POSSIBLY RIGHTLY SO , ‘CAUSE THEN COMES JOE.
WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO CUT THE MONEY SUPPLY TO THOSE SELF SERVING BASTARDS. AND WHY ARE THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES ENJOYING A JOB FOR LIFE NO MATTER WHAT, THESE BASTARDS NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT REALLITY IS. AND THAT PUKE OBAMA WANTS TO APPOINT IS A MAJOR GUN GRABER, WONDER WHAT THERE PLAN IS AFTER THEY DISARM US ? THERE NOT GETTING MY GUNS WITHOUT A FIGHT .
Are you really surprised. This is what he will do before leaving office: His summer vacation will be more expensive and extravagant, along with his Christmas one. You will see his disgusting bride take many trips with family to suck everything they can out of the american people. The white house to them is like having an unending BET card. The people pay for it.
Used to be that former presidents and their families received secret service protection for 10 years until the Golfer-in-Chief
made it for life!!!!! More waste for American taxpayers…..
Congress, puts the okay in if they ask for more protection. I do think they should pay for it if they can. The Clintons are millionaires.
Raise my ass they ought to cut his retirement in half for what he has done to our country.
$1485.00 monthly for me. And at least twice and maybe three times Obama has refused to give us an annual cost-of-living raise.
President Obozo deserves a pay cut commensurate to his lack of effort and results.
He is an embarrassment to the US as well as the entire world and needs to be shown the door “unceremoniously” or more to the point “boot his ASS out”.
let him live on what we give him. we are paying him to much now.
They have denied senior citizens a cost of living raise and he wants this? for what? because we love him? I believe he should be giving back! He raised our national debt and did nothing to lower it or help our country out. Veto, Veto, Veto. Let his wife and children help him!
Check on what the Speaker of the House gets when he retires. How about what our idiot Senators get when they retire. They should get what the rest of us get, Social Security and the same health plans we have. It’s no wonder people are moving to a nut like Trump.
That’s highway robbery. With all the benefits he’ll get, and all protections he’ll get including all his family members, and the a teleprompter speeches he’ll earn will make him the richest president among all those ahead of him. In addition, he is the president who expended billions of dollars on vacations with all is family members and friends. He has done nothing for our country but destructions, and alliance with Muslims including terrorists ISIS. I believe he was the reason why ISIS became so powerful. He had bought MANSION in Dubai. In fact the admiral who leaked the news was fired.
I feel the American people (the Employers who pay the bills) should set just how much the President, members of Congress, Senate and all working for the government. Everyone in the Government set their own pay and retirement. After only 4 years in Congress or the Senate they receive the same pay after leaving office for life. WOW!!!
All the Presidents should get to live on Social Security. If Social Security is good enough for the average American it should be good enough for the politicians.
President Obama will get wealthy off speaking engagements, consulting contracts, and lobbying opportunities. Maybe former presidents should be taxed at the tax rates they proposed for everyone else during their time in office.
President Obama has been a bad president. He has bankrupted our nation and created a more dangerous world for freedom. A $200,000 a year pension will be far more than he deserves.
How about a compromise. His pension is increased and so is his prison sentence.
And why does he think he needs a raise? He did a piss poor job as president of the USA. All he ever did was create the biggest division in America’s History (rich against poor, all races against each other.) He traded 5 muSLIME savage generals for a low life traitor. He continues to lie and deceive Americans. He ran around the world apologizing for America. He bows down to saudi princes why dismissing our military as useless. He’s just about destroyed America’s Military. Remember when odumbo was running for president and somehow the people in the military’s votes were not counted because they weren’t received on time. All he does is play golf and from what I understand is golf playing is worst than his legacy of Commander-In-Chief. People in the work force is lower than it has ever been in 50 years. People now have to hold 2 and 3 jobs because most places are not hiring full time so that they don’t have to pay for health insurance.
Obama owes us Money, for his lavish Vacations for him and his multitude of Friends he brought with him and her. I would not give him a pension I would find a way to get him in prison
To the guy who wants to do a Million Man March. Contact me I will go with you. That’s 2! That’s a beginning; anyone else out there that wants to go on this Million Man March? How about we plan the March for the month of October. Then whomever gets in office will have something to think about.
Seniors have been PAYING into Social Security practically all of their working lives, for some that is fifty years or longer, and all the government does for them is to keep chipping away at the fund, constantly looking for some way to dip into it – or make out and out cuts to it – and Obama has the unmitigated gall to ask for a raise in his retirement?!? His policies have done nothing but weaken our economy, which in and of itself has served to weaken our status in the world over all, and he thinks he deserves a raise? For WHAT?
This request should be rejected outright and any congressman or senator that would even think of voting for it should be voted out of office at the earliest possible opportunity.
It is truly a pity that there has not been, and most likely never will be, another President like John F. Kennedy who not only preached the gospel (an analogy for all the would-be grammar police out there) when he made the famous statement, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” – he also lived it by donating 100% of both his Congressional and Presidential Salaries to charity.
Many did not like Kennedy but he was a man who truly loved this country. I wonder if there is another running today, on either party – that would be willing to lay it on the line as Kennedy did?
How much has ALI BABA OBAMA skimmed under the table from his ‘Crony Capirtalism’ deals with his co-conspirators in the ‘Green Energy Industries’, the ones who where bankrolled by you and I (the American Taxpayers) only to file for Bankruptcy.
The only thing this parasite deserves is an orange suit that matches O.J.’s and a life sentence in prison.
Bloodsuckers!
THE WAY I SEE IT, OBAMA OWES THE TAXPAYERS
7 YEARS OF OVER PAYMENT.
For the past two years, he’s led the charge to deny COL increases to federal retirees and seniors. Tell this poor man to get a job just as he has told so many others.
I suppose the gutless republicans will give it to the most inept, traitorous pres. in our history.
GIVE HIM A RAISE HA HA HA,,THE COUNTRY IS 20 TRILLION IN DEBT PEOPLE ON S.S. HAVEN’T HAD A RAISE IN YEARS ,,WHERE ARE HIS MORALS HE DOSEN;T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HIMSELF. WELL WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ,,HE WILL ANSWER TO THE MAN SOONER OR LATER…
Because the electoral college favors the Democrats it is highly unlikely that we will not be able to retake the white house. Pray Psalms 109:8 “Let his days be few and let another take his office.” I will be voting the conservative ticket and yes if Trump wins the nomination I will vote for him. We need to have a prayer meeting in every church call out the names of those that are destroying our country and pray that God will turn the hearts if the people of this nation against them and let their days be few and let another take their office. Let God defend the right! Remember the Democrats are the party that booed God at their convention.
ALL WAGES AND PENSION BENEFITS for the President, Vice-President and all CONGRESS MEMBERS, SHOULD ALWAYS BE PLACED ON THE BALLET FOR THE ANNUAL ELECTION EVERY YEAR, THIS YEAR IT IS ON NOVEMBER 8TH, 2016……….There is plenty of time to add a few more items, SUCH AS:
PRESIDENT – NO MORE THAN TWO FOUR YEAR TERMS
VICE-PRESIDENT – SAME
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS – SAME
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES – SAME
MEDICAL INSURANCE FOR ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES – SAME AS FOR THE PUBLIC, NO EXCEPTIONS (Similar as in Canada.)
WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD DEMAND & BE ALLOWED TO VOTE ON THE ABOVE five items, these Government folks are just living too dam-long on our TAB, making themselves millions during retirement…… IT IS TIME FOR A “CHANGE IN AMERICA”.
$203,000 plus is to much for any person leaving office even the Bush and Clinton and any other congressman. Getting paid after you leave office unless you retire from office is ridiculous now office of the president is the only office that we should keep paying but only half the amount he made while in office. And any congress member who retires should get the same retirement as a federal employee. Plus social security that way the system would be fixed. As a veteran and a person on social security I have not gotten a raise in over two years and Obama Want a 39% raise I think is what this article said hogwash!
Hasn’t he heard, seniors/retirees are not affected by the high cost of living???? So, since he’s not going to be affected by the high cost of food, gasoline, utilities, clothing, incidentals or rent/mortage, he shouldn’t expect any more increase in money. LEARN TO BUDGET AND LIVE ON LESS, LIKE US TAX PAYERS.
I AM 62 YEARS OLD AND LOST MY JOB OF 20 YEARS. I MADE OKAY MONEY OF $53000 PER YEAR. NOW I AM ON DISABILITY BECAUSE OF MY SCIATIC NERVE PROBLEM AND LIVING ON $1442.00 PER MONTH WITH MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, INSURANCE PAYMENTS AND SO ON. TRY LIVING ON THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA….I DON’T THINK ANYBODY FROM ANY OFFICE FEDERAL OR STATE SHOULD GET A PAYCHECK THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. WE HAVE PAID YOUR WITH TAXES AND YOU SHOULD FILE LIKE THE REST OF US FOR UNEMPLOYMENT AND TRY TO LIVE ON THAT ALSO. THEN ALL OF YOU MIGHT START FEELING THE PAIN WE COMMONERS GO THROUGH….
I am a Senior Citizen living on Social Security and unable to work due to a disability.
I receive $1256 a month. I did not receive an increase on my Social Security this year.
I AM AGAINST ANY RAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS UNTIL
SENIORS, VETERANS, DISABLED AND POOR RECEIVE MORE MONEY.
Presidents and Congressmen should get the same benefits anyone on Social Security wiuyld get.–NO MORE THAN THAT!
The President should get $50,000.oo the first yr. and $49,000.oo the next and so on. So he can see what it like to live like the rest of us.
I think he should live off his present salary as he is in for life – in GITMO ! with the rest of his terrorist buddies .
Look, if this story is in fact TRUE…..the only people that need to be blamed is the people who 1) elected this PERSON, and 2) those that again reelected this massive LOSER. I better stop now, before I become RUDE.
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HE WAS LYING TO PEOPLE WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT? DON’T BLAME THE PEOPLE FOR VOTING HIM IN!! OBAMA WAS GROOMED FOR THIS JOB AND ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANTED TO HEAR AND THEN TURN AROUND AND DO WHAT HE WAS GROOMED TO DO TO US. HE HAS RUN THIS COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND AND THATS WHAT HE AND HIS CRONIES INTENDED TO DO. NOW HE WANTS MORE MONEY? VINCENT – GET YOURSELF EDUCATED!! I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET RUDE TO YOU!
70 to 80 million dollars over the 8 years in vacations for him and his little tribe, I think this “BITCH” has been WAY overpaid already!
POTUS should pack his bags and return to his roots in deepest darkest Africa. He’s done literally NOTHING but sponge off the American people during his time in office. He’s a complete disgrace and doesn’t deserve a raise
but he does deserve a big fat WAVE goodbye. That’s all one can expect from someone as greedy, corrupt and evil as he. He’s a total disgrace.
A RAISE I’M WONDERING HOW HE IS STILL IN OFFICE I HOPE ALL YOU IDIOTS WHO VOTED FOR HIM A SECOND TIME ARE PROUD OF THEMSELVES
Just a welfare bum on a grander scale! NOT ONE MORE DIME for this lying, America-hating POS. He should be in PRISON for what he has done to this country-not scheming to find a way to continue living large off the American taxpayer. He is just the “gift” that keeps on TAKING, isn’t he!
He should go ask his rich MUSLIM pals for money–he’s done a hell of lot more for THEM than he ever did for US.
That low life traitor show not receive a damn thing from being in office . He and his family have already spent millions of dollars that could have been used on support for our military and veterans ,disabled veterans and the families that lost a loved one fighting for that POS . They owe the American people for the monies that were wasted on false meetings and golf games . The middle class and lower class suffer , but that’s ok as long as they have their lavish style of life . It’s a disgrace to The USA having him in office for 2 terms . You would think that the demorats would have learned by now to kick killery aside and put a New man in Washington. The things that she and he did to this country should be punishable ; Treason comes to mind and then there is supporting those that wish to wipe out The USA . TIME TO PAY FOR YOUR BAD WAYS OF SCREWING THE CITIZENS , both of you !!!!!!! TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT THAT’S A CHANGE THAT WILL GET BACK TO THE HONEST WAYS OF BEING LEADER ….

Everyone retiring from politics should be required to live on social security without annual cost of living adjustments like the rest of us and see how they like it.
I totally agree Warren
After dividing our country, ruining our pride in our country, destroying our military hospitals and our large wonderful Military, all the crap too numerous to mention, besides the millions of
OUR dollars on your lavish trips to Rancho Mirage, Hawaii, Aspen, Africa, etc. etc.etc!!! you
deserve nothing!!! Live like us S/S folks as I do with cancer, NAFLD, unable to buy food much less doctors, meds or vacations as you!!!!!!!!!!! You need to live on S/S after what you did to us and our wonderful United States of America and Military Veterans. Just kiss off!! and get out!!!
What can one expect from the Shyster he is…. as he sits in every picture I see of him… and in looking at those Govt shots… he’s sitting laid back in that chair with his feet on the desk like he owns the world;…. Not only on those shots… but one other one he’s sitting his rump on a desk behind him with his feet on a dresser or some piece of furniture…. It wouldn’t be so bad if he just had socks on.. but he has SHOES on… so whoever gets in the white house when he leaves…. all the furniture will be ruined by Obama…. He won the election by hook or crook… and he should never have been elected in the first place.. but people were too scared of OFFENDING a black man… so they over looked it………PROVEN by the FBI… his Birth Certificate was a FRAUD…. cause his copy only had ONE layer.. and a a genuine Birth Certificate has 10 or 11 layers …. check it out and see…. He’s a FRAUD and no one wanted to offend this big earred black man… He should never have been elected in Congress either…. drawing that fabulous salary… acting like the BIG SHOT he thinks he is… and now he wants a good bye SALARY…..????
Obama OWES America MORE than his pension…
I think, Mr. President, that there is a time when you’ve made enough money. Sound familiar?
Mitt Romney is responsible for the second term. I fell for the Romney hope and as time kept unfolding Romney’s mouthy punk son should be slapped the punk son who worked in the voting machines not sure if manufacturing or what anymore should have been warning signs and should have ended Mitts campaign for collusion. Now add Ann Romney’s crack about her husband’s mental status showed us the writing on the wall that the Romney’s threw that election sh&t on Americans and threw acid in the faces of those hoping for hope. Obama’s should be stripped and jailed and a massive. Overhaul of salaries and term limits be applied with no pensions for this was public service and never should have been a lifetime career.
I learned by Romney’s collusion that I’m not sure about Trump. I see the end of life and it is now fast appreciation. I just lost the love of my life and I have had my eentire life stolen from me due to a hate crime so I have learned this is no longer a world worth living.
I’m so sorry these things have happened to you. Please don’t give up on the rest of people. There are really good people out there. I pray that some of them will come into your life. This is in reply to “not gonna change “
Another socialist who makes big money. No hypocrisy here.

Presidents in office can not have their pay increased or decreased.
Only Congress can raise the president’s pay for future presidents.
“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”
Constitution: Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 7.
I sure hope read that article…..we’ll see.
F him and yet social security is being cut for people who barely get 1600 a month. who the hell doe he think he is
My God can’t he be stopped or Impeached
Don’t blame Obama, blame the idiots who voted for him.
We have our share of voting idiots who vote to stay in the EU and Obama is poking his nose into our business with regard to the EU.
What about Social Security they did not get a cost of living raise. Obama has give himself lifetime security the taxes payer are having too pay for.Now wanting a raise.
The NERVE this mockery of president asking for raise, after all the money that he has put together along his FAIL presidency and God knows all of the dirty bussiness that he might be involve that the Demo-Rats are covering for him. SHAME OF YOU OBAMA!!!!!
Simply tell him I said to go fuck himself!!
Not the same Nina as me!
Gee, not enough to spend millions and millions of taxpayer dollars for lavish vacations, now he wants a substantial raise, after making sure the economy won’t support raises for WORKING people.
He should get any pension AFTER he pays the US back for all thos vacation dollars, and apologizes to the citizens for trashing the country.
For 8 years of golf, White House celebrity parties, and taxpayer funded vacations? For a ruined economy, record astronomical debt more than all other previous presidents combined, a military left in shambles, victories turned into defeat? My advice for him is to slip out of the country before he can be put on trial for his crimes and get the retirement he deserves on a chain gang with the rest of his cabinet fixing potholes on our interstate system. Now there is a shovel ready project where he can make a personal investment in our infrastructure!
YEAH, all you legal taxpaying American citizens, pay this ILLEGAL, POS, and his ‘wife?’,
more taxpayer paid $$’s for his lying B-$hit he has spewed for the past SEVEN years!!!
He’s got a hell of a nerve.. The scum bag would not give all the people on social security a raise but he wants to take GOOD CARE of himself…. For what he did to this country, he should take a 40% pay cut…
Why don’t you stop criticizing Obama, take a good look at GW Bush!
What he raised it from to what he contributed to the American people. Then ask how underpaid Obama is.
Think about the Billions he saved the “taxpayers” you stupid GD idiots. GTH you sheet for brains of a peeple.
Our once trusted government is TOTALLY CORRUPT. The RICH keep on getting RICHER. SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS and MILITARY (ACTIVE/RETIRED) get 0% COLA but he wants 17%. It is time for REAL CHANGE and get rid of the DEMOCRATIC/REPUBLICAN establishment as well as the CAREER POLITICIANS. NO ONE serves more than 8 YEARS and HIT THE DOOR!
No pay raise for that person in the White House
Unbelievable brass ones. No pay raise.
He should be giving back his UN-EARN MONEY to , “WE the PEOPLE ” ,& should be ARRESTED for impersonating a POTUS…..What a JIVE-TIME MF’er he truly is.
You are being RULED by women and children.
Then negro sodomite is very immature. Sissy like and childish. Like the Bible said. Because of your sins God sends you women and children and makes your enemy RULE over you.
This poorest excuse for a president that America has EVER had, sure has more than his share of NERVE! He doesn’t deserve the salary he’s getting! To ask for such an increase is completely out of the question. I don’t know who he is asking for this monumental raise for himself but I think any such issue to be voting on by those that would be paying for the raise…namely the U.S. tax-payers. I wonder how many of them would approve such a thing?
Let’s get in touch with Congress and the House so the Former Presidents Act is thrown out until this Nation has recuperated from all the malice the Muslim president and the Demorats caused it. They should retire after they have worked their way to retirement, as we do. It’s more than enough what they get while serving this Nation. To the extreme they have nothing to spend the salary they get because all their and the family’s expenses are completely covered by us, the taxpayers. Enough is enough. As a matter of fact, when you contact your congressperson insist that instead of a raise give him an impeachment, hold him accountable and responsible for all the lies, deception and violation of laws during his first seven years. For hiding the truth from this Nation for the attack in Benghazi in order to win re-election. I could go on and on and on, but nothing is new.
Obama needs a raise, A RAISe RIGHT OUT OF OFFICE” IMPEACHMENT” IS THE WORD. I do not have to repeat the reasons as the above me have listed them very well.
Voting Citizen.
People have been shouting impeach Obama pert near since his first term and has not happened. I wonder why? Now that is close to the end of his term (thank God). Public cries for his impeachment this late in the game. Will impeachment make up for all his screw-ups and self benefits? Probably not. Please vote for Trump!
Impeachment is what we need to do. Have to get the NATION to get behind this to make it work. OBAMA (and Hillary) has commented TREASON so many times I’ve lost count. And you know the punishment for Treason !
Your rhetoric fits right in with mslim rants or cthlic rants. Not ONCE, did our Savior, Jesus Christ, say one disparaging thing about Women, and Children.
He did in fact, have a stern warning for those whom harmed Children. For the few twisted by man/made, statements in the Bible, Jesus tells us how to respect each other, and that Women and Men, are Sisters and Brothers.
I say give him what he is worth, I will pay him each year until one of us dies. It will probably cost me about a dollar.
THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE WRONG THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THIS US OF A IS TO VOTE OUT EVERY HOUSE MEMBER THIS NEXT ELECTION (NOV 8, 2016) AND EVERY SENATOR CURRENTLY IN OFFICE THAT MUST RUN THIS YEAR, WHICH IS ABOUT 1/3 OF THE SENATE. IF WE, THE PEOPLE, REALLY WANT CHANGE FOR THE BEST, DO IT. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE STATUS QUO, SIT ON YOUR BUTT AND DON’T REGISTER OR VOTE. BUT FOR GOD’S SAKE, VOTE FOR TRUMP, SO WE AT LEAST WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO START THE CHANGE. AND IF TRUMP TURNS OUT TO BE, FOR TRUMP, WE CAN VOTE HIM OUT NEXT TIME. AND WE CAN DO THAT FOR EVERYONE GOING FORWARD. A VOTE FOR CLINTON IS A VOTE FOR THE STATUS QUO AND WORSE. SO LETS DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY AND CHANGE IT. VOTE FOR TRUMP.
Those are some giant HogBalls, and they are even dipped in Chocolate for anyone who’d like to take a taste, since they are being forced on us like DEEP throat
All of you haters don’t realize war monger Bush doubled his salary when he came into office 2001, from 200K to 400K a year, he then did nothing and our Country was attacked by terrorist on 911, he then invaded the wrong country getting us into war that cost thousand of American soldiers their lives. He and Cheney made billions of dollars (over 39 billion) off the wars which is of course “blood money”… now you want to put the morally deviant, ego manic trump into office.
If anyone on this thread would conduct a simple Google search you would find several glaring omissions, although sadly, I’m not at all shocked that y’all went straight to believing any piece of hateful crap in your newsfeed. Had anyone bothered to check they would quickly find that both the GOP controlled House and Senate are working on this legislation.
Both bills (H.R. 1777 and S. 1411) would set a former President’s pension at $200,000 annually, with increases each year by the same percentage authorized for benefits provided by the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. §401). “Both pieces of legislation would provide a former President an additional $200,000 annual allowance to be used as he determined and would remove other benefits currently provided to former Presidents—including those currently provided for travel, staff, and office expenses.”
Additionally, the bills propose that for every dollar a former President earned in each fiscal year in excess of $400,000, his federal annuity would be reduced by $1.” So, in the long run this will save us money by eliminating blanket pay for travel, staff and office expenses as well as reducing the pensions of former Presidents, dollar for dollar, on earnings over $400K.
So, this legislation seems to address the assertion in the article that “Some critics of the Former Presidents Act say the statute subsidizes Presidents who are not struggling financially,”.This also means that if the article correctly stated Bill Clinton’s speaking fees, his income in excess of $500K would make him ineligible to collect any of that pension.
Jeez, do some thinking on your own, the information – the truth – is a few key strokes away. If you’re interested in seeing for yourself, you can read it here in it’s entirety: http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL34631_20160316.pdf
All funding requests should be imeadiatly be cut off, his participation in cover ups of his administrations participation in bengazi cover up. These investigations should stepped up. Funding for all his programs should be froze. He is as useless as a bag of hammers. So he will say whatever deludeing himself while everyone is laughing at his delusional stupity behind his back. He has stolen money in his redistrubution scheme. What we need to know is how much in kickbacks has he made off of all these deals he made with his communist friends wether transferance of security is being compromised with this deal with Cuba. That national security laws should be repealed or changed so the criminals in Obama’s regime cannot hide their criminal enterprise that Obama uses to cripple our nation. And lastly we should be calling for his resignation, with a forfiture of benifits to cease when he leaves office. Vote Trump! Obama will trip on his own arrogence. And when he falls nobody will give a dam.
Why doesn’t one whitehouse reporter ask a very simple question to him during whitehouse press briefing. Why does he feel he entitled to such a raise when social security applicants got zero increase. Let see them publicly answer that question on TV. Of course it won’t happen
The last three years I have lost money from my social security check.In the last seven years 3 years of those were with no raises.
I need those raises so why does the President need more money from the tax payers.The American people should reject
any increase.
Obama by all means is the absolute worst in all of history
I can’t believe he expects a raise when all he has done in his almost 8 yrs is destroyed our country. We people that are on social security & worked all our lives to make a descent & honest living and paid taxes barely get enough to exist plus haven’t got an increase in years. When we do it’s barely enough to even notice. He should have been impeached a long time ago, then we wouldn’t have to pay him anything. That’s what he deserves. I sure hope our leaders don’t approve this. It’s us low income seniors that need the help.
Yes, give him a raise. $100 more a month the than what is on the books now, if he stays totally out of politics here and abroad, for the rest of his life, including the UN and takes the early payout now! This includes no community organizing activities. Voiding this would void all his privileges as past president, money, security, medical and any unnamed perks. We could live with Biden for the balance of his time.
A PRESIDENT OR ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS CANT PASS BILLS AFFECTING THEIR TERM IN OFFICE UNLESS THEY RUN AGAIN,PRESIDENT OBAMA CANT RUN AGAIN THEREFORE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES EVER TOLD.
