President Obama drew guffaws during the date by jabbing Romney for having a bigger pension.
You know, kind of a reverse guy’s “big thing” contest.
According to CNBC, Obama’s pension isn’t exactly teeny-weeny … and, we tax payers get to pay for it.
Pension Envy: Who Has More — Obama or Romney?
When it comes to the presidential candidates’ pensions, size matters in more ways than one.
As president, he will receive $191,300 annually for life — win or lose in next month’s election — and receives a travel allotment as well as mailing privileges. Should Obama lose, his presidential pension kicks in immediately after leaving office.
Given that the president enjoys a normal life span, the pension allotment would be worth upwards of $6 million.
In addition, Obama may be due a nice pension for the eight years he served in the Illinois Legislature as a state senator.
Kick back, Barack
