#2 So did Messrs Holder and Kerry, except the esteemed Secretary of State is donating his to "charity".

#3 Are they returning their salaries, or applying it towards next year's taxes?

#4 Champ [most powerful man in the world] wasted no time in sending WH condolences regarding the death of Taylorville, IL native and film critic Roger Ebert. The 5% won't be felt, Roger probably left him a few million dollars or a few thousand Google shares, or both. Just a bit to tide the community over.

#6  Are they returning their salaries, or applying it towards next year's taxes?

For Jawn, it'll be an income-tax deduction.

#7 Five percent of his president's salary, that's what the appetizer round on beyonce night or hole 19 with Tiger?

#8 And he forced some FED employees into a 20% cut... insulting, keep it for all I care. the 5% he gives back will get covered in spades by the dollars he wastes hosting his criminal friends.

#9 Sometimes I think he's totally tone-deaf and then I realize that the people that are paying attention to this sort of thing already have made up their minds about him so this sort of thing has no effect.

Makes me wonder why the president even gets a salary. I believe every single thing in their life is paid for during their term of office.

#10 th, they have to save up so they won't die in poverty.

Oh wait. Ex presidents get a life time salary, health care, secret service protection, etc. for life.

Not to mention the book deals, speaking engagements, campaign funds and any other money they can scrounge.
