HA HA HA HA - they make MILLIONS PER YEAR and he's going to "Sacrifice" part of his $400,000 per year salary - What a Joke.

I don't think congress should get paid period until they pass a budget...

So Obama is offering to accept 5% less pay and that's his sacrifice? How about restricting his children to 2 multi-million vacations on the tax payer's dime a year? If Congress were to tell Obama his families' vacation budget is restricted to $5 million a year in tax money, Michelle would go ape shit!

WOW!! Obama is giving up a whole $1,700 a month!! what a guy !!!!

I don't think ANYONE in responsible for having a part in the budget should get paid when there isn't a balanced one.

Politicians should ONLY be paid when they are productive and do something - not when they fail to vote.
