$10,000.00, big deal.
Yes, just on weather channel. One months salary in solidarity with something. Did not hear whole story.
...he was surprised he wouldn’t need the 40 million to buy his Hawaii mansion this term so he gave up a whopping 5%...Chewie decided to cut back to a vacation every two months and limit her lobster intake to 7 a week for the next three weeks
This guy never stops giving!
So he’s gonna bring his own lump of coal to the oval office every morning? The days he’s there? In wintter?
And forgo arugula?
I’m stuned. The man could starve and freeze.
I hear he is supposedly writing a check for “about 5%” now the message I get is No american ought be called to do more than 5%—If that’s all Obummer can give No-one else should suffer any more than he.Why his check wouldn’t even cover the cost to Sodom(Denver) Colorado for his campaign stop there. What with the extra security—and all them cops he used in his window dressing.Funny thing is you can do manner of stuff to distract people —to attempt make dung less noticedbut it’s still dung.
I will say that I heard right-wing talk radio in Nashville on Tuesday morning going on and on about how terrible it was that there were White House furloughs, when Obama had not sacrificed anything, so he called the bluff on that front.
“I wanted to hurl an ash tray at the screen.”
Sounds like something similar that was actually done in Concord, Massachussetts.
IMHO
I heard 5%.....so what. One of his golf outings costs that much. I bet that asswipe doesn’t even pay Social Security anymore because he qualifies for a government pension now not connected with it.
“slashing his salary” by 5%
the civil workforce being furloughed is losing 20%
barky’s secretary makes 15% of his salary and is losing 20% while this millionaire poser (who gets free everything) “slashes” his by 5%?
Whatever happened to the “Buffet Rule”?
Give me Free Vacations, my own private plane, Security,a Thousand ass-kissing newsies nibbling at my joint every day and I would take a $10,000 dollar cut in pay too.
But I wouldn’t spend a night with the Wookie for a million dollars.
However....He will not be slashing his trips to Florida to golf with Tiger or canceling the girls trip to the Bahamas or getting rid of some of Michelle’s maids aka “slaves”. What a selfish bunch.
5% ain’t “slashing”, no matter how you say it.
The folks in Cyprus are proud of Obama showing solidarity with them.
You know they gush over everything Obama down here. However, did you see all the Romney signs last November?
I really believe voter fraud won Obama Florida. North Florida went for Obama, south Florida had early voting, mail in voting and same day voting. Three for one!
BTW, what part of South Florida are you? I am north Broward.
That's the equivalent of my cutting my salary by about $100 a year. Let him give up his lavish royal vacations til the end of his term, and I'll still loath the worthless neonazi devolved piece of pond scum excrement, but I'll give him credit for making a statistically significant if meaningless gesture.
In 2009 our mid-level managers took a 10% pay cut and executives took a 20% pay cut. His 5% is meaningless...
Obama is slashing...the Constitution and traditional values and institutions.
