Breaking: Obamas Purchased House in Asheville, NC for Post-Presidency
wallstcheatsheet.com ^ | June 7, 2014 | ANTHEA MITCHELL

t seems all the bookmakers sending the Obamas to New York City or back to Chicago after the end of the President’s second term are wrong by a few thousand miles.

A source close to Wall St. Cheat Sheet has confirmed that the Obama family have purchased property in the city of Asheville in North Carolina as a post-Presidency residence. A call to get an official confirmation from the White House wasn’t immediately returned.

The President discussed retirement there last year during his trip to North Carolina during a speech in Asheville. “Love coming to Asheville,” said Obama. “Michelle and I always talk about how after this whole presidency thing, we’re looking for a little spot to –” here an audience member said, “Come on down” — “Come on down? Play a little golf, do a little hiking, fishing, barbecue,” said Obama. “There’s two things that keep bringing me back here. Number one is I really like the people. And number two is 12 Bones, which I will be stopping on the way back to the airport.” On the one hand, a smaller city like Asheville doesn’t offer the same enormous population to lose oneself in as does New York or Chicago. On the other, the president and his wife clearly like the area.

“The president first visited the Asheville area during the campaign, and he liked it so much that he vowed to take his family there. The president and first lady are planning to spend a quiet weekend enjoying some of the many things this beautiful part of the country has to offer,” reported the White House. This, of course, led to a great deal of “vacation like the president” slogans from the city’s tourism industry.

I was hoping for Mogadishu.

Country Clubs and golf courses don’t shut down ex-presidents. He plays just like everyone else. I don’t think he realizes that he will go back to being a somewhat regular person-not totally, but it’s a long way down back to the bottom especially for someone as arrogant as he and the Mooch.

Agreed. His ego would never allow him to reside in an out of the way area where his hemorrhoids are not given a daily lip massage by the liberal media. My bet is on him conniving and plotting to become secretary general of the UN in order to attempt more punishment on the USA.

If you live between there and an airport be ready for constant traffic jams.

I vote for a prison cell (both for Clown Prince nobama and his wife, the moocher). It is the least they deserve. Criminals.

If not Asheville, I’m sure wherever there is a gym, some 2 pound weights and a gum machine, he’ll be happy.

Wanna bet someone else bought it for them? Remember, his name isn't on the deed for the house in Chicago. The Won deserves the very best so is it this house?

Yet another thing that he and Romney shared, no connection to a state, they just used states.

A prison on Vesta would be appropriate.

I didn’t even know the Biltmore Mansion was on the market.

Biltmore is going to be the gatehouse for Obama's mansion.

There is a NC Republican Senate seat up in 2016, and Sen. Burr may not even run...

I didnt realize the Biltmore House was for sale, as that is the only domicile in North
Carolina that would be fit for Emperor Barry. Please tell me that this is just a sick joke, though Asheville is covered up in homos, so this might give Reggie Love a run for his money. The town of Asheville needs to start working NOW to make it difficult for His Magesty to land there unless they want half the town shut down every time he has a notion to prowl the gay bars and rest stops..

He can be neighbors with uber liberal Roy Williams, or maybe Andy Griffith who leaves not far away.

"Vesta in the Asteroid Belt.."
Vesta..now that's some really nice real estate, big enough for
Barrack "BathHouse" 0'Muslim and his bearded bull-dike oxen.
accommodations are somewhat iffy..but, let 'em dig.

Vesta: The surface area is approximately the same as that of Pakistan
(about 800,000 square kilometers)

it's about the right size, too. Let's just ship 'em all there.
