Imagine you wrote a letter to the White House to share your personal struggle and instead of receiving a form letter in return, President Obama cut you a check.

It's happened, and more than once, according to Washington Post reporter Eli Saslow's new book "Ten Letters: The Stories Americans Tell Their President." Fellow Post reporter Nia-Malika Henderson writes Friday on a surprising excerpt from Saslow's book:

A few times during his presidency, Obama admitted, he had written a personal check or made a phone call on the writer's behalf, believing that it was his only way to ensure a fast result. "It's not something I should advertise, but it has happened," he told [Saslow]. Many other times, he had forwarded letters to government agencies or Cabinet secretaries after attaching a standard, handwritten note that read: "Can you please take care of this?"

So people really were getting Obama money. Where's Obama money come from, though?

I suggest you look at the big shiny thing in your bathroom, usually located above the sink; there will be a picture of the person footing Obama's tag.

This is coming out now because the good Dr. has offered to get paid a common mans wage as President which should be the president for future Presidents...if the common mans wage goes up so does yours...call it incentive pay

the most disturbing part of this blurb:

it's like cutting in line.
