QUOTE He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone "up and down" with the stock market. Yeah, that and $400k/year, and all of your expenses in life paid for is just like the guy who lost his $50k/year job, has 3 kids, no savings, and is on unemployment.

iirc, presidents have to put their money into blind trusts to be administered by an outside party while they are in office.

Never heard of that, good idea.

I just googled it, apparently the Johnsons were the first to do it. Obamas did it during their run for president.
