Did you read what was posted here and realize it was about the retirement benefits, and the pensions, for when the presidents are no longer in office? So when they are no longer the president, how else could they get paid? Do not be overly concerned for them. According to an online article, "Obama paid $600,000 for a single speech":

A key factor in Obama’s newfound and growing wealth are those who profited from his presidency. A number of his public speeches have been given to big Wall Street firms and investors. Obama has given at least nine speeches to Cantor Fitzgerald, a large investment and commercial real estate firm, and other high-end corporations. According to records, each speech has been at least $400,000 a clip.

The presidents are not struggling to pay their monthly expense, like many of the taxpayers that are given the bill for their pensions and retirement benefits.
