I got this in an email. Lol not sure if its the proper way to think but along with the salary there is all the extra costs when a president becomes an ex president due to bodyguards and security until they are no longer with us.
A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years
old.
Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO
pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen.
Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive
$4,973,800 in pension.
Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in
November.
How's that for non partisan thinking???
