Barack Obama’s new office is nothing like the Oval

Will there be a Permanent Media Detail stationed in the house with Obama, or will the Secret Service have to share their space with them?

Maybe they’ll just rent or buy the house next door so they don’t miss out on the 24 hours of Breaking News scrolls when Barry waves at them from his bedroom window

Obama signs bill, gets Secret Service protection for life

January 10, 2013 -- for himself and wife.

Obama doesn't have the business savvy the Clinton's have.
As I recall, they built a house for the secret service and rents it to the government for $10,000.00 per month, that was when bill left the White House, so rent may be much higher now. Hillary may look old and act old, she still knows how to pull in the cash.

Does it look something like this:

[BradyLS]

Obama plans to remain in Washington, DC, in a $5 million red-brick mansion he and First Lady Michelle have leased from ex-President Bill Clinton’s press secretary, Joe Lockhart.

I would have guessed that they would buy a home, however modest, if only to get away from entanglements like that.

[bigbob]

Does it strike anyone else as odd that Clinton’s former press secretary owns a $5 million mansion?

[JennysCool]

I think Trump’s going to have this country up and running pretty fast.

The media’s attention will be on Trump, if only to heckle and bash him.

Barry’s going to be one bored, lonely dude for a long time.

He’ll probably go back on the choom, or the blow.

the Swamp is filled with such things

[ari-freedom]

Barry’s going to be one bored, lonely dude for a long time.

Correction: Barry and Michelle’s going to be two bored, lonely dudes for a long time

House is gonna be full of bugs, digital ones i suspect.

And he will have to start paying for air travel to the golf course, and the tee fees.

Can anyone explain to me how a person who was a ‘Press Secretary’ can afford a $5 million house in DC?

Seems a bit more than over the top.

And use it as a rental which reminds me - obamao can't even buy a place... he has to rent one! Pffft. They just don't make ex-Presidents like they used to. :D What's wrong with his house in Chicongo? Bad neighborhood? Too many people of color for oboingo's liking I guess. Oh, that's right, the kids need to finish the school year. Okay, in that case, let's revisit this issue in 6 months to see if he goes to Chicongo or Hawaii. I hope he goes to Hawaii. Chances are he can do less damage to the country there but in Chi-town he would be among his thug peers.

More than odd....rampant corruption zone...

"golf will still be his main preoccupation and main interest."

I disagree. 1) He will have to pay for it now. I bet he won't go very much. 2) He no longer has a pool of lackey subordinates to tell him how great a golfer he is.
