Is George Bush earning the 400k per year he makes as President?

Bill Clinton only made 200k per year. Do you think Bush is performing twice as well as Clinton did?

    I think they should link presidential wages to deficits/surpluses, debt/reserve ratios, and a relative quantity of raising or lowering taxes.

    By my standards, I would have given Clinton something between 150 and 225, where as Bush, 50max, practically owes money.

    Bush has twice the problems that Clinton had thanks to the mess Clinton left behind. Clinton tried to make up for his puny salary by renting out the Lincoln Bedroom and receiving kickbacks from missile technology sales to Red China.

    This again? In 2000 Clinton signed the pay raise. Don't believe me? Look it up. It was Clinton that did that, not Bush.
