MARTHA’S VINEYARD, MA—According to reports, former President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama have purchased a $15 million dollar home sitting atop 29 acres of land on Martha’s Vineyard, where they look forward to spreading their wealth around.

“Like I said in 2008, when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody,” Obama told reporters. “Michelle and I can’t wait to get out and start spreading our massive haul of cash all over this palatial piece of property. These acres will be green all year long,” he grinned.

“We were starting to feel cramped in our 9 bedroom house in DC,” the man with a $40 million net worth continued. “As I always say, there’s only so big a house you can have. But as long as you keep them to a certain size, like, less than 10,000 square feet, it’s OK to own a few.”

At publishing time, Obama was seen fashioning a stack of hundred-dollar bills into a makeshift barrier to stop the oceans when they rise from climate change.

29 acres? That’s a big spread on a little island.

29 acres on Martha’s Vineyard for $15 million sounds like quite a bargain.

Too good to be true or, more likely, too good to be on the up-and-up.

I have a relative who was screeching about how horrible it was that a rich man was going into the White House when Trump was elected. I said that maybe Trump was going in rich, but Obama came out rich - did he not see the difference?

It likely should be shown as a payment in kind to the DNC

I would point out that a rich man is less likely to be seduced by bribes. That Donald Trump has a business mind which is an asset compared to someone like . . . AOC which chased away Amazon from her district. Losing jobs. Money management is an important skill.
