Crazy!
 
The President of the United States of America is paid $400,000 per year to lead the greatest country in the world.

The commish of Football is paid $11,000,000 per year!?!?!?!?!? to govern over the NFL!! At least he cracked down on Spygate!!!

Thankfully, in the midst of a economic downfall, Roger Goodell says he will take a 20% paycut. I hope he can survive off of $8,800,000.

Yes, it's hush money from The Owners so he will remain their puppet.

well, maybe we could sell advertising on the side of the white house, then we could pay the prez more.
but then people would be fussing that bush didn't deserve to be paid so highly.

I think you are on to something.

I think the gov should sell advertising to get their money instead of federal income taxes.

lol
no, can't say that i do.

i think the govt has been doing things all wrong. instead of us paying to buy helicopters for instance, we should get them for free from bell helicopter. and then they use that for advertising. 'bell, the official helicopter of the u.s.a.'. whoever provided the fleet of cars-do the same thing. honda is the official car of the nhl, why not for the usa? drive what obama rides in, buy a chevy...think of the savings!

jack daniels, official whiskey of ted kennedy. :)
