A recent report on new media expenditures shows President Obama’s spending on his newly renamed department, the Office of Public Engagement (formerly the Office of Public Liaison) has expanded on his predecessor, George W. Bush. However, Obama’s current media expenses pale in comparison to what he’s spent on his 2008 presidential campaign.

To staff the Office of Public Engagement, which helps to organize media events like the recent virtual townhall held on health care, Obama spends more than $80,000 a week for salaries alone, according to a report filed by Accuracy in Media based on figures released by the White House.
