"Will President Obama lead by example and cut his own pay?"
Advertisements [?]
Answer: "I'm pretty sure his salary is determined by federal law."
Follow-up: "But don't you think it's important for him to lead by example?"

14. Wanna bet?
Obama's got quite a bit of money in the bank. And he's going to make hundreds of millions from speaking when he gets out of the White House, just like Clinton did.

46. How's this Captain
Edited on Thu Jan-22-09 02:43 PM by DainBramaged
I don't care what he makes read my journal where I skewered the little jug-eared **** who was in the White House and all of the Cons lurking here that they should get over it.
Why does he continue to refer to B. Hussein like that?

43. I'm just stating the facts...
I am a huge supporter of Obama's and I've been one since 2004. Stop making ridiculous accusations. I am PISSED THE **** OFF that they want him to cut his salary, but suggesting that he's somehow not wealthy is distorting the facts. He's got plenty of money to "get by" without a salary. I hope he doesn't listen to the press vultures. They're assholes. Why weren't they asking the Bush administration these kind of questions???!!!!

78. Strawman
It has nothing to do with Bush & Cheney, as you well know. If a boss orders his employees to take pay cuts, but doesn't join in the communal sacrifice, he looks like a hypocrite. Are you really this dense?

This question wasn't asked of Bush because conservative policies don't demand that CEO's and other folks limit their salaries. Making money is a conservative value.
This is the same reason liberals can be involved in whatever type of sex scandal they want without repercussions because 'free sex' is a liberal value.

Yes, but remember the 59th Rule of Acquisition:

He also froze salaries for top White House staff members, placed phone calls to Mideast leaders and had aides circulate a draft executive order that would close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay within a year.
Devoting swift attention to the Mideast turmoil, Obama prepared to give George Mitchell, the former Senate Democratic leader, a top diplomatic post for the region.
Unveiling ethics rules that he portrayed as the fulfillment of a major campaign promise, Obama said that "the way to make government responsible is to hold it accountable." The rules are needed, he added, "to help restore faith in government, without which we cannot deliver the changes that we were sent here to make."
The pay freeze affects the roughly 100 White House employees who make more than $100,000 a year. "Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington," Obama said. :thatsright: :censored:

You forgot the end of that quote where under his breath he said, "exceptforme" really quietly.

Isn't that the basic liberal meme?
Everybody needs to sacrifice, as long as it doesn't inconvenience ME.
Everybody should be equal, as long as I'm MORE equal than my neighbors.
Everybody should be allowed to voice their opinion, as long as they agree with ME.

Let me guess they were all in favor of cutting Bush's pay?
