After you are elected president, you are given a pension (basically a yearly salary) and never have to work again. Does this seem right?

Given his record of failure, I guess it's safer for all of us if he never works at anything again.

Let's see...it surely bothers me that Jimmy Carter gets a pension. Through his complete and utter ineptitude, his administration made trouble that we are still dealing with. If Jimmy (and Bill Clinton and all of the rest) get a pension, so should GWB. You haters need to be fair, you know, because what goes around comes around.

Our recent presidents have not come from impoverished families. They could most likely get along without the pension. A president's pension isn't close to equaling the pensions the Congressmen and Senators get when they retire. They have money to burn, there is no impoverished anyone in the higher ups in government. But when you think of all the static and harassment they take from the media, congress and knowitalls, I personally think they all deserve it for the daily pain and suffering.

It's not just The President, but senators too after 2 terms of service. It's become a career instead of a service. This is not what was envisioned.

Do you have any grasp of the long, arduous process that it takes ONE man to reach the oval office as President of this country? They deserve what they get in pension! Let me ask you if it's OK for your slick willy to make millions to give a speech? same thing!

i think of it is an extremely stable ingredient, we ought to continually have heard it extra earlier people voted him into workplace. I question " how in the worldwide did the yankee people vote him into workplace." and that i'm outraged on the female they are calling a supervisor of varieties in San Fransico that may not recite the Pledge of alligance, the very meaning that our flag stands for and to no longer point out what her preparation and activity stands for." If the yankee people are not extra careful and seem extra into the historic past of who we decide into workplace the U.S. would be finding purely like Egypt and Iraq earlier long. maybe rather of focusing on the call calling or being the 1st so called black guy into workplace the media ought to look for the officers start certifiacate and publize that earlier they become President or the different respected interior the land of the unfastened. and because i'm venting, we had Iraq or giving credit to our great President, administration of Iraq and their oil,he ought to have saved it and made it portion of the great u . s . a . that one and all foreignors prefer to return to and not pay taxes whilst we supply them a unfastened preparation and allow them to open companies. the yankee people would not be paying the extreme fee of gas and would not ought to undertaking approximately our deficiet that it is costing us to rebuild them, without reeping the advantages, rather we could make our previous people who already lived via one great melancholy via taking a decrease into via medicare advantages. to no longer point out the gold they got here across might have been used to decrease our deficet rather handing it over to those who call themselves Godly, yet defies the 1st commandment. i think of the guy or female who has the less preparation and long resume gets my vote to any extent further. a minimum of then they might recognize precisely what the trouble-free guy has to handle.

He NEVER worked. He was born into an oil-wealthy family and never did anything worthwhile in his whole life. Mommy and Daddy took care of everything for him.

I am glad someone is appreciative of the fine economy and SS reforms and low taxes no one gives Bush credit for. He ended Clinton's tax induced recession.

After all he is doing he deserves not to have to work again. Who says he won't work again?
