That''s about what an ex-president should make considering he wrote a couple of books which sold well and he charges for speaking fees. Throw in Hillary''s income from the Senate, investments and her own books it sounds like they''re doing fine.

I guess working and being poor, or even middle-class isn''t a qualification for becoming president...aaahhh, just what this country needs, another president that can''t relate to working class people!

From rags to riches. The established gentry frowns on new money. Always have, even the royals of the old world.
