After eight long and infuriating years, president Barack Obama is finally set to leave the White House for good on Friday, January 20th, 2017. With his departure, he leaves behind a legacy of increased racial tensions, sky-high public deficits, and the spread of radical Islamic terror across the Western world. One thing he isn’t leaving behind, however, is his presidential paycheck.
Despite the fact that he will no longer be serving as the country’s chief executive, Obama’s disastrous run as president has earned him the right to a taxpayer-funded salary for life.
Unhappy with this fact, lawmakers in Washington D.C. sent a bill to Obama’s desk that would decrease the amount of money Obama would make as a former president.
Of course, Obama vetoed the bill immediately and released a message in order to explain himself.
See Obama’s lame excuse for the veto on the next page:
He hasn’t earned his money yet.
Presidents and elected officials should only get retirement pay equal to the number of years they served to bridge the gap to their next employment. 4 years in office 4 years post office pay. Retirement them becomes a Social Security matter and what ever they put aside or invested in before they went into office. Government office is a public service and should not be a gravy train for the elite.
He didn’t earn his pay for 8 years, why should we give him a raise???? How bout him paying us back for his excessive vacations and using Air Force 1 to tote Hillary Clinton around campaigning?? Don’t think our money should be used for either and it especially should be given to his buddies in Iran. I wouldn’t give him anything if it were up to me and I wouldn’t be paying for any Secret Service protection either.
What about giving the military and vets and seniors a raise. Obama needs to head back to the south side of Chicago.
HOUSE/CONGRESS, PLEASE OVERRIDE THIS VETO!!
Go directly to jail with your fiends.
Greedy bastard
Greedy punk$#%&!@*bitch he don’t deserve$#%&!@*for his crappy 8 years FU OBAMA
