Isn't it an outrage how Obama wants to give himself a huge pay raise?

Luckily he can not do that.

In fact Congress can not even give a raise to a sitting President.

Plus what has he and the other Previous Presidents done to earn a pay raise?

I say we tie pay raises for retired politicians that earn a pension to the cost of living.

"President Barack Obama on Friday signed an Executive Order authorizing a 1.3 percent pay raise. It comes after the passage of the $1.1 trillion spending bill.

The omnibus bill continues the pay freeze for the Vice President and senior political appointees.

The raise goes into effect Jan. 1. OPM released a memo outlining the salary tables.

The President sent a letter to congressional leaders in August authorizing across-the-board and locality pay adjustments.

“Specifically, I have determined that for 2016, across-the-board pay increases will be 1.0 percent,” he wrote. “Also, I will make a decision by November 30, 2015, regarding an alternative plan for locality payments under 5 U.S.C. 5304a. The alternative plan for locality payments will be limited so that the total combined cost of the 1.0 percent across-the-board base pay increase and the varying locality pay increases will be 1.3 percent of basic payroll, consistent with the assumption in my 2016 Budget. These decisions will not materially affect our ability to attract and retain a well-qualified Federal workforce.”

He sent a second similar letter a few weeks later to congressional leaders saying he was authorizing a pay adjustment for uniformed service members.

“I have determined it is appropriate to exercise my authority under section 1009(e) of title 37, United States Code, to set the 2016 monthly basic pay increase at 1.3 percent,” Obama wrote in the second letter. “This decision is consistent with my fiscal year 2016 Budget and it will not materially affect the Federal Government’s ability to attract and retain well-qualified members for the uniformed services.”

Speaking to reporters on Dec. 16 in Washington, J. David Cox, the national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said the future seemed a bit brighter for federal workers.

“We’ve gone from three years of a pay freeze to two years at 1 percent, thank god we are at least at 1 plus the locality, 1.3 percent or a little higher in some areas. They left our pensions alone. They left our health care alone,” he said.

Dems always do that.

Look up Johnson and CLinton.

Their retirement pay is based on current president pay. Their not doing it out of generosity. Libs never do.

Just about everything he does is a outrage but don't leave out Hillary getting paid a salary from her campaign funds. http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/04/dead-broke-hilla...

I dont agree. I didnt like G.W. Bush giving himself a raise from $200,000 to $400,000.

President of USA Is underpaid. They make less than a Google employee.

Not sure if this is correct, but both Bush presidents would receive the pay raise also.

I overheard at a recent Trump rally that 0bama wants to take my guns away so he can give it to the New Black Panthers.

I was thinking about something else, but that would be difficult to do save for the elastic band man.

I know huh, the nerve he has after adding $10 trillion to our debt.
