Yeah Obama is a hustler just like just about every politician. Politicians are largely not in this to be a messiah. They're in this to enrich themselves and their family and friends. While the salary for a US President is only a mere $400,000 per year plus an expense account, $174,000 for a US Congressman and many of these politicians have made more money in the private sector, they use their power while in office to secure financial opportunities down the road. The power and influence of being in politics can't be under estimated. I advise people watch House of Cards to realize the benefits of going into politics vs. taking on a higher paying job in the private sector.
