in 1998 George Bush made $250k. When he became president and for his entire 8 years, he made around $800k per year (I think his lowest year as president was $735k) So unlike Obama, he managed to make more money as president.
Other then his presidential salary I don't want a President trying to make money for himself while he is in office
Fair enough.... Why does Obama want to be the first candidate to raise a BILLION dollars for his campaign? This is some lofty goal and ideal? AUM for politicians? What is he, a hedge fund manager? On the flip side, if he campaigns for his fellow dems, they lose. Take corzine fer instance. His word is shit but his money is good.
