Yes, all presidents receive a salary and while some may donate part of it to charity, they do accept their pay (which since 2001, has been set at $400,000 a year plus expenses). There is no evidence that President Obama has refused his annual salary, nor did his immediate predecessors.

No. He couldn't, even if he wanted to. Congress decides on the President's salary. The last time a President got a 'hefty raise' was when George W. Bush was President. The salary hasn't changed since. Re-calculated in 2016 US dollars, the President's salary has on average remained more or less the same in terms of purchase power since the mid-nineteenth century. President Obama's salary is actually even a bit lower in real terms than a President's salary 150 years ago.
