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:
Mike, I certainly hope this comes true. I think everybody in the United States would jump up and down for joy!!!!!
What a shame.
It’s a job, you took it, your done, the American people don’t owe you a dime, go to work like everyone else!!!
All or one and one for all has changed in his case all for me
Didn’t he once say that at some point you have all the money you need? Guess he doesn’t have enough yet!
Colin Kaepernick. I have question for you. We’re you born in the U.S., resulting in automatic U.S. citizenship? Well, here’s an idea you might go for. You could renounce your U.S. citizenship. If you truly despise America and our people, go to a country where you can feel and experience true oppression. But you have enjoyed comforts and benefits of things purchased with money you accepted for playing football on U.S. soil. You also enjoyed the freedom of playing. So, if you hate America so much, give back the money because it’s American too.
gee..if I had an employer that asked me if I was ok for a wage deduction…I would veto that too!
who wouldnt? Anyybody making a salary should have somebody to answer to..thats whats wrong with our govt! their eages go up…while ours go down.
Impeach him and take his salary and benefits away. He doesn’t deserve anything.
HE’S JUST WORRIED ABOUT HIMSELF AND PLAYING GOLF ON TAX PAYERS MONEY
It should be a ballot question not for him to declare whether he gets a raise or not he has spent more money on vacations for him and his family then most people can ever imagine of making in a lifetime so the way I see it he owes us money
