The real money is in bribes and misdirection of funds-think stimulus.
Just a FWIW. A friend of mine was an Illinois legislator during the time obama was an Illinois senator and he related this story to me.
When the 'rats tagged 0 to give "his speech" at the 2004 DNC, Durbin had to leave the convention center to pay the cab fare when obama arrived because his credit card had been refused.
8 years of a presidential salary doesn't put anyone in the financial neighborhood obama lives in today.
A trillion dollar stimulus, plane loads of cash flying out of D.C., a SoS running a pay to play State Department, billions of dollars lost in hundreds of agencies...
Winning an election today in America is nothing but a license to steal.
