[quote:Anonymous Coward 4825412:MV8xODY0OTcwXzMxMTEzNDQxXzhGNDM2QjVB] I find it fascinating that so many of you preach the following: 1. Never believe the Media they are are liars and frauds 2. Be well informed and the government can't fuck with you. That being said: 1. This has nothing to do with welfare. 2. The issues being discussed are budgetary concerns, not a direct pay out to the ex-POTUS. They are budget allocations for Secret Service, Administrative Services, etc. -When a Corporate President/CEO retires, his schedule clears up. He no longer needs a staff to assist him. -The former POTUS doesn't really retire after leaving office. They make personal appearances, they make Goodwill Trips both foreign and domestic. They deal with interviews, public speaking engagements, charity causes, correspondance, their library, and the list goes on. -Yes, many Presidents recieve large fees for Personal Appearances, yet many of those fees are paid directly to their Foundations, and those funds are used for Charity projects, their Library, etc. 3. Each and every living former POTUS is included in these budgets it is called the FORMER PRESIDENTS ACT (3 U.S.C. § 102. 4. President Obama will most likely have an even higher monetary request, as will be true of his successor. [color=red][b] NOW ALL THIS BEING SAID: I am all for freedom of speech, but whether you like or dislike the current or former POTUS. They were elected to lead the country. You don't have to respect the person, but you should at least respect the OFFICE and what it represents.[/b][/color] [/quote]

He's asked for a comfy $1.3 million to get him through 2013 in the manner to which he has become accustomed, including $85,000 for phone calls!
