Obama Putting Education At Front Of His Agenda, But Trouble Lurks

Really?



How much do YOU make that you consider $400k a year (plus $100k untaxable walkaround money and other paid expenses) to be outside of the realm of "big bucks"?!?! I know some people make amounts that are literally ob scene, but the existence of those incredibly off-the-ch­arts wealthy doesn't change what "big bucks" means to someone making "average bucks," does it?



Getting $400K a year (with no costs for housing, etc.) means you will own a spacious home outright - almost anywhere on the planet in no more than 2 to 3 years. No mortgage at all. As a former president, he will be paid a pension for the rest of his life, including free health care.



Speaking engagement­s, book deals, etc. will net him millions in 'mad money' (since he won't need it to live) - but only if he decides to get out of his slippers after he's out of office.... which he won't really ever have to do.



I think being, for all intents and purposes, set for life strikes most people as "the big bucks."
