The Presidential salary is $400,000 - and back in the 90's that was even more earning power. Moreover, no one has used the public office for personal gain more than those two. Ronald Reagan got a couple of million for speeches and appearances in Japan, and the press crucified him for it. Both Clintons have been collecting 10 times that amount, and the press fawns.

We don't have to worry about the post-Obama rape of finances, because the Obamas will never leave office. They can't. We just had our last Presidential election in 2012.

Something else to consider: What would happen, assuming he actually handed over power, if he could not stop some "journalist" from prying into his past?

The final question will be: IF and that's a big if, a republican were to actually win the next election, what are the chances he would actually start a criminal investigation of the Traitor?

This is just disgusting. What was the tuition at the Sidwell Friends school in DC where Chelsea went? If they really needed money (they didn't) why didn't Hillary work as a lawyer instead of spending her time plotting for her own political future? How much money did each of them make for each speech they gave?

This is all really a sick joke.

Actually very untrue. President Clinton made 200,000 a year. He signed legislation to increase it to 400,000 but that did not go into effect until President Bush’s first year. President Clinton doubled President Bush’s salary.....lol.
