You know I love ya but do you really want to get into a chat about presidents wasting money? I'm not very fond of Obama but show me evidence of one president who did not enjoy the luxury granted to them. If you have a problem with it perhaps your concern should be voiced to those who allot his budget.
What Are the President's Salary and Benefits?
By Jamie Wilson, eHow Contributor
George Washington made $25,000 annually, and paid his staff out of pocket.
The President of the United States makes a moderate salary, when compared to others in similar positions around the world. In fact, most top CEOs and company presidents make significantly more than the president. However, the perks and fringe benefits are outstanding, ranging from perpetual bodyguard protection for the rest of his life to a variety of expense accounts covering everything from entertainment to travel.
Currently, in 2010, the President of the United States receives $400,000 per year in taxable salary income. This was increased in 2000 from $200,000 so that it was not less than the vice president's salary, which is pegged to cost-of-living adjustments like other government employees instead of being mandated by statute.
Official Expense Accounts
The president has several expense accounts, none of which are taxable. The general account is $50,000 to use as the president sees fit. Additionally, there is a $19,000 entertainment budget. He also has access to a $1 million "unanticipated needs" account to be used for official purposes.

Travel
The president receives free travel on the modified Boeing-747 designated Air Force One. He may also use Marine One helicopters and the presidential limousine for shorter-distance travel; the limousine is sometimes transported via military planes to official destinations. The president gets a $100,000 travel account for him or his designees to use for travel expenses not otherwise covered.
Benefits Associated With the Presidency
All presidents live in the White House free of charge, and are allowed a redecorating budget to create a space to their tastes. In addition, most of the art available in the National Gallery may be borrowed to decorate the White House. The president and his family have access to Camp David, a Naval installation functioning mostly as a presidential retreat. President Thomas Jefferson laid down an excellent wine cellar still used by the executive office. The president also receives free health care for himself and his family through the U.S. military system.
