Obama 5% of salary: He’ll give it back, in sign of ‘sequester’ solidarity: If all things were equal this would still be a pathetic display. 5% of President Antoinette’s salary hardly compares to the 20 to 30 percent loss of salary that the makers have experienced over the last four years due to inflation and tax hikes. All things, however, are not equal. President Fontleroy does not live off of his salary. He lives off of an upkeep tab provided by the tax payers. An upkeep tab that -after all the parties, golf, clothes and vacations- cost just about 1.4 billion dollars a year. And King Barry has no intention of returning even the slightest portion of that. So don’t be fooled. Obama isn’t doing anything meaningful here. All he has done is claimed to stop the water levels from rising because he decided to piss on the producers instead of the ocean.

Here is hoping president quagmire gives back the presidency before his term is up. Then he can claim he actually did something worth while.
Too little, too late.
The hell with the 5%, I want back the last 5 YEARS!
Considering the bang-up job he's doing as President, he should return his entire salary and have a lein placed on all his assets until he repays us for all the money he spent on golf and vacations.
a whole 1600 bucks of the 33,333 he takes home each month-none of which he spends, cause he uses taxpayer dollars at will. His daughters just got a 10 million dollar double spring break-can't buy that with 33K a month. Imagine if he actually gave a fuck about Americans! that whole 33K would be keeping tours going in the WH.
Wait. Isn't the sequester his own doing? Did I miss something?
Also heard that Lurch is doing the same thing. Let's see, Lurch is worth 185 million and he's gonna take a 5% pay cut. What a trooper! I hear he served in Viet Nam...
Question: O'Reilly contended that Bush spent the same or more money on himself and his family than Obama. Please tell me if that is the truth or not because it sounds a little crazy to me.
Bush (whom in my estimation was not a very good President) spent working vacations on properties that he or his family owned which limited the costs to the taxpayer. Obama takes lavish vacations that costs the tax payers millions of dollars a day and he spends the time partying. That is the difference.
Then why did O'Reilly say that? He just said but did not provide any other information. It was my understanding that he (Bush) spent most of the time at Crawford and that was his own property. Weird.
Because O'Reilly is an Obama ass kisser.
He has been going hard on Obama lately but I don't understand how he said that and usually he would say according to this or that which you can fact check Bush spent more than Obama. I just find that really really hard to believe.
It is a known THING that the man HATED to entertain. When he had events it was news because it didnt happen all the time. Even his own WIFE "complained" about that. At first (before 9/11) yes he was out and about but after he pretty much became like a ghost. If I wasn't actively looking to see what he was doing and where he was I didn't know jack about his business. So that to me makes no sense.
Apparently, he was a political theater major in college.
And Yet he Jets all over the world in Airforce 1 to play Golf and sends Billions a day on things that don't matter. We are so lucky to have a guy like this. OH but if it was a Republican doing this the media would be crying for blood ?
That just might be the best avatar I've ever seen.
OK, with my failing eyesight, it looks like Darth Vader with a flying V guitar, am I right?
