The Big dog doesn't have to worry about his check being sequestered!!

[healthmyths]

Our millionaire President (2011 tax returns $1.7 million..) doesn't have to worry that his $400,000 will be sequestered!
NOPE..
President Barack Obama won’t have to worry about his paycheck if the spending sequestration included in the Budget Control Act that he signed into law in 2011 begins taking effect this Friday.

A report published last month by the Congressional Research Service--“Budget Sequestration and Selected Program Exemptions and Special Rules"--identifies certain programs that are exempt from sequestration and lays out special rules that govern the sequestration of others.

Section 255 of the Budget Control Act includes “Compensation for the President” as one of those exemptions (Page 19).

Yea this is the same guy that in 2010 Obama's taxable income was $1,728,096
245,075 14.18% of his income as donations to charities (WOW a big chunk of change at 14%!!!)TAX LOOPHOLE
49,945 home mortgage interest TAX LOOPHOLE
122,527 Long term capital loss CARRYOVER!!! 7% sheltered income!!TAX LOOPHOLE
and paid: $453,770 26.26% of gross income.

ONLY 14.18% for donations...

WHY didn't he do as Bush did give 23% of an income that was half the income of Obama's?

President and Mrs. George W. Bush reported taxable income of $719, 274 for the tax year 2007
The Bushes contributed a total of $165,660 [23%] to churches and charitable organizations.
federal income taxes,paid $221,635 or 30%!

Hey, right wingers, you know what he's doing???

RUNNING IT LIKE A BUSINESS!!!!!!! haha!

Yep. What do CEO's do in tough times? Well, they cut everyone's pay but their own. Let the ones at the bottom suffer first.

Hey, you wanted BO to 'run it like a business'. Well, he's doing it. He is cutting expenditures. Raising prices (taxes). And cutting everyone's pay but his own!!!

You should celebrate him running it proudly how a CEO would!

You know it's in the Constitution, right?


The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.

BUT as I pointed out The Hypocrite-In-Chief tells EVERYONE do as I say not as I do!

 

[healthmyths]

It also states "not to receive any other "Emolument"
oh say like this..
MSNBC’s Chuck Todd criticized Monday the new fundraising efforts of President Obama’s dark money group, Organizing for Action, calling a scheme for high donors to meet regularly with Obama “the definition of selling access.”

Todd was describing the quarterly meetings that will be enjoyed by OFA’s $500,000 donors, the New York Times reported over the weekend:

Neither do Caligula's dependents. The Constitution states that the federal Government must provide for the national defense, no where does it say the federal government must provide a minimum standard of living for its citizens, however. Welcome to Alice in Wonderland land where America's avowed enemies are appointed to head the CIA, DOD, and State for the purpose of facilitating the surrender of the country to its enemies, Homeland Security actively trolls the world in order to bring additional welfare recipients for the country's still working citizens to support in violation of centuries old law while throwing the nations borders open to any and all who wish to set up shop here for whatever purpose in a concerted and deliberate effort to inundate and wash away the national identity, while gutting the national defense.
He still hasn't arranged the Sun's rising in the West and setting in the East, yet. Maybe that will happen just before or shortly after he proclaims himself God and Emperor.
