Ex-President: Cushy Job

Being president of the United States is a pretty tough job. The hours are long, you can never really escape the office and the pressure is, to say the least, intense at times.

But ex-president is a pretty cushy gig, the Washington Post reports today. First, there's the lifetime pension --$191,300 this year. Then there are "travel costs, postage, office rental and supplies" -- and Secret Service protection. And all of that, of course, is on top of the money and perks former presidents can generate for themselves in the private sector.
