I remember when people made the same complaints about Bush living high on the hog, there was an article that discussed how the president actually pays for most of their personal expenses, like even food. And it was a sob story about how it is actually a burden on Bush because instead of having to pay for groceries, he also had to pay for the white house staff to cook and serve it.
But either way, I do believe Presidents have to pay for their food and day-to-day expenses.
