President Obama sought to increase the amount of money available for the federal government to spend on former presidents in advance of his White House exit.
In his budget requests for fiscal years 2016 and 2017, Obama proposed hikes in the appropriations for expenditures of former presidents, according to a report from the Congressional Research Service published Wednesday.
The report, which discusses the pensions and other federal benefits offered to former commanders-in-chief by way of the Former Presidents Act, specifies that Obama’s 2017 budget proposes a nearly 18 percent hike in appropriations for expenditures of former presidents. He successfully requested an increase in such appropriations for fiscal year 2016.
“The President’s FY2017 budget request seeks $3,865,000 in appropriations for expenditures for former Presidents, an increase of $588,000 (17.9%) from the FY2016 appropriation level. The increase in requested appropriations for FY2017 anticipates President Barack Obama’s transition from incumbent to former President,” the report reads.

FUBO.
There are no other words for you.
In character move. He gave us all a pay cut, now gives himself a raise.
F U B O!
Go check out his “Foundation.” I am sure he has squirreled away millions there in bribes and payoffs, just like Hillary.
Tell the greedy piece of excrement that he's ALREADY been paid the higher amount in the form of his innumerable vacations, accompanied by large expensive-to-house-and-feed-and-entertain entourages. And what about his MIL living rent free in the WH?
Obama - the grift that continues to swindle... Worse than Jimmy Carter; not only do we have to hear his inane utterances for the next few decades, we have to pay him with cash to torture us.
He just needs to get a job and earn some money for a change! He needs to support his family and stop making me pay for them.
Figured he would get enough ones through extortion, speaking, lobbying, and protection money like the Clintoons.
Lefty greed knows no limits.
This will be pocket money for Sharia and Malaria in college.
