Increases in the presidential salary were made when a new President took office, so the president did not actually get a raise, he just got more than his predecessor.

I do not think any president actually got a raise while his was in office.

The first time the U.S. presidential salary went up was at the beginning of Ulysses S. Grant's second term (from $25,000/year to $50,000/year).

Did President Obama actually raise his Presidential Salary to 1000000 in January 2013 after winning reelection?

No, this is another of those internet myths, often spread by opponents of the president (but in this case, spread by a website that specializes in jokes and satire). The president's salary has been the same since it was raised during the first term of President Bush. No further raises or increases have taken place. The current presidential salary is $400,000, and Mr. Obama has done nothing to change it.
