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 thought he was going to Hawaii if he lost to Romney, was that for vacations only? Why Asheville of all place?

Either way, if they don’t return to Chi, I’ll be happy.

Not a problem. It could be that golf is one of the attractions in his choice. North Carolina certainly has some of the best, such as Pinehurst, where the US Open is being played this week.

Best to you.

What happened to the $90 million compound being built on Oahu? Or is that going to be the winter Palace?

Obama realized that it would be too difficult to reach after the American societal apocalypse?
