WASHINGTON — President Obama and his family plan to move to a mansion in the upscale Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, a mere two miles from the White House, when he leaves office in January, according to people familiar with his plans.
Mr. Obama, who has said his family will remain in the capital until his daughter Sasha completes high school in 2018, will rent the 8,200-square-foot, nine-bedroom home, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal his plans.
The house — valued around $6 million, according to several real estate websites, with an estimated monthly rent of $22,000 on Zillow — is owned by Joe Lockhart, a former press secretary and senior adviser to Bill Clinton. Mr. Lockhart was until this year the managing director of a communications and political consulting practice he founded, the Glover Park Group, but has moved to Manhattan to become executive vice president for communications for the National Football League.
...
The move will put the Obamas in one of Washington’s wealthiest ZIP codes, in a secluded precinct backing up to Rock Creek Park that is home to diplomats and a focal point of the capital’s cocktail-party circuit. The home itself is luxurious; photographs posted by Washington Fine Properties, which listed it when it sold in 2014, show spacious rooms with hardwood floors, white marble countertops, his-and-her master bathrooms and a terrace with formal gardens.

Rush said on his show once that he would not D.C. He was so right.
Why would the NFL hire Joe Lockhart?
He won’t have to deal with the 80% increase in shootings, thanks in part to his administration’s guidance on police enforcement.
No, not in that neighborhood.
This elite member of the ruling elite is going to stay in Washington to work to further destroy this country. He’s done very well financially. He’ll do better, as America-hating groups pay him royally to give a speech trashing America.
“Obama’s paying the rent...”
You can think that if you want to.
There is no room for a Clinton Foundation AND an Obama Foundation at the same time.
Everything is at stake in this election for the Clintons and their co-conspirators. It's an election of life at large, or stripped of everything and prosecuted.
Remember, Islam does not retire it's players in politics. They are either gaining wealth and power or are dead.
You can bet the race baiters are already putting the squeeze on Banki Moon. LOL! Time to go home Banki and spend more time with the family.
The pics on NYT don’t really do it justice. I looked at it on Google Street View. It’s not dreary on there. It does seem a good fit for accommodating the SS in a neighborhood where the houses are very close together.
I’m sure Michelle will spruce up the front flower beds and such, which would greatly improve the view from the street.
Apparently, taxis wait on that street. I don’t imagine they’ll be allowed to continue that.
Years ago, Rush predicted that Obama would never leave DC.
Is I t Joe Lockharts rental property
Eventually, he will have to answer to God.
Will he have lifetime TelePrompTer service ?
Yeah, I remember that. For the next two years, I’ll give him a pass on that one. Moving your daughter to a new HS to start her junior year is not a good idea. He made the right decision here.
Movin’ on up! George and Weezy would be proud.
I am looking forward to his weekly speeches about income inequality.
His ‘home’ should be prison- for the rest of his sorry life.

i hope he takes in some Syrians/ Spanish speakers/ whatever.
They’ll have the extra room.
$22,000 a month? That’s $264,000 per year. Isn’t that more than his “retirement” will pay him?
He must have stashed away more taxpayer money than imagined.
It’ll be interesting to see how he survives without Air Force One, and several multi-million dollar vacations per year. Mooch i.e. Will have start wearing store-bought clothes.
He’ll try to run a shadow government with allegiances by CAIR, LBGT, and the NAACP/black lives matter bunch.
He’ll be on TV constantly (driven by his lust for attention) and will be second guessing everything Presiden Trump does.
We’ll never be completely rid of the bastard as long as he’s not in prison.
