Thanks. I drew that yesterday while waiting on them to call about my windshield.

What?!  Chuck, that's awesome.  I'm way more impressed with that, than king zero's 5%.

Thanks. I'm not so sure I'd consider it awesome, but I do kind of like how it turned out. I think the reduced size makes it look a bit better because it hides mistakes.

If I get time after lunch I'll post a larger version in the Lounge.

Much to doo about nothing.

Why does he need a paycheck anyway.....he's getting free room and board and a lot of other government freebies.

That's my thoughts.

What really pisses my wife off is to get her talking about how we have to pay to redecorate every time a new administration is elected. Her thoughts are that we're already giving them a place to stay and feeding them. Why do we also have to provide for their choice of decor?

With Reagan and both Bushes, all the new White House decorations were paid for by friends of the President.

Of course, Reagan and both Bushes were native-born Americans.

Ill take notice when Obama dumps 5% of his gross earnings, not just his presidential salary. Ill be even more impressed if he gives up what he believes the rest of the '1%ers' should give up.

Until then - this is simply another Photo-op.

All the people on furloughs are losing 20% of their pay. And he thinks he's being generous giving up 5% of his? And it is only 5% of his Presidential income. Big woo.

Well, that was mighty white of him to take a $20K/year pay cut.

Barry wipes his ass with more than that in a week.
