I do find that quite amusing.
POTUS has never been a high paying position...no surprise here
Well, considering he's one of the most powerful men in the world, 400k a year isn't exactly high either.

Wowzer, US$ 2.47M to run such a small country.
It might not appear to be much now, but I am sure if you factor in that if Obama finishes his 4 year term, and say Hillary takes the reigns, won't Obama see his life out earning the same amount like a very FAT pension plan ? He'll still get the security detail deployed, the limo, the use of the govt air wing, likely get paid $150K US ( or much more ) for motivational public speaking engagements ( Bill Clinton ), and I assume his current $400K salary will continue to be paid out for the rest of his natural life.
How many people enjoy a superannuation plan that pays $400K US a year ?
Or doesn't it work like that ? Bill Clinton seemed to do quiet o.k, after being El Presidente...
