Outrageous. Obama Seeks Hike In Post-Presidency Payments

2016-03-19

[TammyBruce.com]. The President’s FY2017 budget request seeks $3,865,000 in appropriations for expenditures for former Presidents, an increase of $588,000 (17.9%) from the FY2016 appropriation level. The increase in requested appropriations for FY2017 anticipates President Barack Obama’s transition from incumbent to former President," the report reads...
If it can be rolled into a one time contract 'buy-out' that begins on Monday, I'm all for it. Future presidents can negotiate their own plans based on performance.

#12 Truman pretty much had Jack-shit when he retired to Independence, which in due course led to the Former Presidents Act of 1958.

#11 Raj, IMO, once he's out of WH---everybody is going to pretend not just that he doesn't exist, but what he never existed.

#8 And think of the millions organizations will pay him not to speak at their conventions.

#7 Obama ought to be sued for the irreparable harm he has done to this country. He's already stolen enough; now he wants to steal more. Tell him to go screw himself and the camel he rode in on.

#6 #5 I see that also. I have said for some time that he will be the first broke president. He can't manage money except for the constant begging for handouts. Someone else always foots the bill. He will live the high life for a short time. Who knows even things stronger than marijuana. Like Barry, cocaine. I wonder to what lengths the Democrats will go to cover for him or the media.

#5 Maybe Obama is planning on splitting his income with a divorced wife next year.

#4 Perhaps he's anticipating some sort of future legal division of retirement income ?

#2 So is this to cover the not-inflation his presidency generated?

#1 He's going to make exponentially more than the Clintons did post presidency, ball sucking Hollywood and everyone else. Why's he worried about small shit like this?
