Looks like former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are putting down deeper roots in Washington: After renting a Kalorama home for their post-White House stint, the couple have purchased the eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bath home for $8.1 million, according to property records.

The one that has the new fence he built around it? And did so before he travels around the world saying how "we can't hide behind fences?" At least his lack of character is consistent.

Still debatable if these two have ever done a day’s honest work.

Somehow he managed to seed loyalists in unelected positions in every nook and cranny throughout D.C.

Not bad for a lazy Marxist.

Looks like the Deep State has picked Barack as their President In Exile.

As long as he is around sucking all the oxygen up the democrat party will continue to be the party of traitors and anti-Americans.

The best part is that iron gates can be welded closed from the *outside*, too.

Hmmm..POTUS makes $400K per year salary. At 8 years (God help us all) in office, Barry made $3.2M GROSS, before taxes.

Let’s be generous and assume a 40% total tax burden..(hey, he was POTUS..he probably had a good tax attorney..) that’s a paltry $1.9M NET - aka “take-home”.

Before that, he was a short-term Junior Senator and a Community Organizer. Safe to say he didn’t take home another $1.9M net in those years.

Wonder where all the cash to buy an EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR home came from?

Ah, the possibilities..and the very probable corruption..
