    The President of the United States has to buy his food, he makes $400,000 a year and his food for his family is deducted out of it as well as for unofficial guests. His cooks and waitstaff are paid for by the taxpayer though.

    Source(s): Common misconception that everything is paid for which most is but some is not.

    Depends on what he and his family eats. Yes the President covers his own food. Food for Official guest are free. Of course the cook and the 80 staff members are free.

    Source(s): Show it on the news today for the Obama White House visit.
