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.

Running small boats northbound I’ve had the (”infuriating,” says my wife) penchant to stay offshore, off Hatteras, in the stream as it breaks. I never knew it was Obamophobia.
Now this is starting to make sense.
Wasn’t Reggie Love in NC for high school and college?
Maybe he gave Obama some advice on a good area for a secluded retreat. (wink, wink)
Reminds me of mooch in the Hamptons, I think it was. All those old money white women fawning over her while they were lunching. You know mooch was seething, knowing they wouldn’t give her the time of day without her title of flotus.
But, hey, enjoy Trashville!
Written by “Anthea Mitchell”? Could this be parody that needed a label?
The witches and pagans run rampant in Asheville also. I’m 90 miles away. (Far enough downwind I think)
I'm just barely paranoid enough to think that things like this are meant to hide something else :)
That is a small, tiny, miniscule geographic area surrounded on all sides by the bitterest of bitter clingers.
Obama Loves the Ballytyne Golf Club south of Charlotte TOO..
That was a donation by Hyatt heiress?
Can he leave now?
Is there a prison in Ashville?
It makes me feel dirty to have him live so close... And I live in south Georgia!
Well, ya know, no one is really allowed to ask about the funding for the compound. If there was a reporter that was curious, it wouldn’t be worth losing a job over. Then, the editor would never let the question get into publication. Push too hard and you may develop some serious health problems or suddenly be the only non-survivor in a tour plane ocean ditch.
“Waynesville Country Club Inn.”

Yes, I know it. My last years in the Smokies were from Waynesville. A friend of mine had family from Waynesville.
In his later years he moved there. Across the street from him was a ham radio friend of mine. He did summer in Waynesville, and winter in Sebring.
It is all gone with the wind. :(
What? What of the stories before his second election about purchasing a house in Hawaii because his defeat seemed “inevitable.”
North Carolina!? That doesn’t even make sense....
So that’s where Michelle Antoinette will be running for the Senate.
Do you really think that, after 8 years of hell, that the elites in Washington DC will actually want the Obamas around? I don't. I think in their minds, it will be good riddance - especially if a Pubbie wins the presidency.
And a retirement property in Hawaii. Obama must have come into some money.
