The White House is the official residence for the president of the United States; it has always been supported and funded by American taxpayers.
Does Barack Obama pay for the White House?
Not really. It comes with the job of being president. In other words, Barack Obama lives at the White House because it is the official residence of the President of the United States; throughout history, most American presidents have lived there (George Washington did not-- it hadn't been built yet). The taxpayers are the ones who pay for the upkeep of the White House. But presidents have an expense account and a budget, and if they go over that amount, they do have to reimburse the US Treasury.
Where is the White House that President Barack Obama lives?
Yes and no. Presidents are allowed to live there for free; but that is the extent of what they don't have to pay for. Presidents are given a salary (currently $400,000 a year), plus a budget for expenses related to doing their job. But unrelated expenses, as well as the cost of food, parties, salaries of their staff, and bringing friends with them on vacation, are all part of what the president and the first lady are expected to pay for themselves.

Does the president pay bills at the white house?
The President does not pay rent in the White House. The President and first lady pay for their food, parties, vacations, butlers, housekeepers, and ushers.

Where does Barack Obama get money to pay for food he eats?
All presidents receive an annual salary, courtesy of the taxpayers. Currently, it is $400,000 a year, which is what President Obama makes (so did President Bush). All presidents also receive an expense account for travel, entertainment, and eating out when they are performing their presidential duties. The president's meals at the White House are part of being president-- all presidents have to eat, and Mr. Obama is no exception. Many presidents have even hired an official White House chef, so they could have meals they personally enjoyed. Currently, the White House chef is Cristeta Comerford.

Marion Robinson, Michelle Obama's mother, did live in the White House during her daughter's tenure as First Lady, but it was reported that she did not receive a salary. The costs associated with her living there, including room and board, were covered by taxpayers, but specific figures on those costs vary.
