Yep. That president is probably pretty well off and it won't hurt him ... or at least not be a tremendous sacrifice. But the little guy that is living paycheck to paycheck will suffer. (I'm assuming they will adjust more salaries than just the ones that are now higher than the president). So it is not really an unselfish act but a selfish, "hey look me at me! Ain't I great!" one. If he wanted to be unselfish he would pass a law that allowed his salary to be lower than others, at least temporarily.
