Yep, there will be people say that those salaries aren't that high compared to Wall Street types, but most of these folks get perks beyond belief and the real payday will come when they leave the WH

I don't think they're honest just because they tell me how much money they make.

Who pay's that anyhow?

TAX PAYERS.

Ahhh, a paycheck is a paycheck, but the devil usually hids in the 'perks', and those do not get listed do they? I think they call it 'bonuses' on Wall Street.

Did you notice the highspeed rail proposal (tens of billions more) is centered in Chicago. Is everyone asleep? Don't people notice what is going on?

But, Hussein Obama will NOT let us see his birth certificate or any of his school records! Wonder why?

Obama earns $400,000 a year, far less than the $2.6 million he earned in 2008 as a presidential candidate and author. Hey you forgot to list the money he got from ACORN. OOOO Money under the table doesn't count
Guess that's how Hillary and Billy Boy became so wealthy with no income to account for this wealth.

Ok so this is news why? We all know the TaxPayers have to help fund all these dumbasses salaries.. Maybe we as Taxpayers should Protest!
Afterall the People who should make "Bank" is the Military, Teachers,FireFighters, Police Officers Nurses.ect... People who make a difference . Becasue with out them we wouldnt survive! Washington needs to learn to Cut Back even the President afterall we funded his wifes trip to Paris didnt we? Its
ridiculous!

Enough already with the "imaginary" transparency, it's "killing me"! I don't want to know the salaries of the Obama W.H. staff (I have no say in the matter, just a vote in 2010 and 2012). However, I would enjoy reading if any Obama W.H. staff operate personal offshore accounts to avoid taxes or any direct connections to private industry, particularly lobbyists.

In January, in one of his first acts as president, Obama announced that he was freezing the salaries of employees who made more than $100,000 a year, saying, "Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington."

Wow, looks like another b.s. promise. SURPRISE SURPRISE. I couldn't imagine why the director of the public health policy is making the most. Hmmm. I don't think we need an analyst to figure that one out. Talk about blatant.

People are struggling from paycheck to paycheck and the Whitehouse employees are eating at the finest restaurants in Washington everyday. That is pretty sad. I am gladd that President Obama did a great thing by posting the annual salary of the White House employees. I realize all the White House employees believe they are working hard but so are all the other people in the United States.

if they went by pay for performance plan, they'd all be making about 10k a year. If they even still had a job!

You know what's really pathetic? That there are school administrators in California making more than double the President of the United States. That's really pathetic. Is the President underpaid or the school administrators overpaid?
