Barack Obama and his family will not spend their summer vacation on Martha's Vineyard this year, after Baron Foster, Britain's most celebrated architect, bought their regular retreat.
With just four months remaining before he faces the toughest US re-election contest for a generation, Barack Obama could have done with a relaxing escape to the so-called playground of presidents.
But the idyllic ocean-side retreat on Martha’s Vineyard where President Obama has holidayed with his wife and daughters for the past three summers has been snapped up by Britain’s most celebrated architect. Baron Foster and Lady Foster of Thames Bank have bought the 30-acre estate for £14.3 million — and they appear to be in no mood for renting it out to the world’s most powerful family.

Any chance they might buy Hawaii?
I feel sooo bad for them.

Can’t imagine why. /sarc

He is the description of sepsis.
Black holes are repelled by him.
And those are his good points.

Mitty’s got a sweet place in New Hampshire.
I’m sure he’d rent it for that amount.
Too bad...the Obamas will have to go to Spain instead.
I’m sure the Obambi’s will be able to get one of their wealthy donor friends to provide them with the well-earned retreat they so heartily deserve. That’s sarcasm at the end just in case you needed to be told.
and bedbugs, although the place he finally stays at will probably have to fumigate after they vacate.
That’s an insult to black holes everywhere.
Things are getting better in Martha’s Vineyard with Teddy “Chapaquidic” gone and no Obama & michelle to grace their shores.
Maybe they can get an invite from some other supporters. Detroit has quite a few empty houses. For the rent they are paying they might be able to buy an entire block or two.
“”Any chance they might buy Hawaii?””
Hawaii is in Asia so that’s out. But don’t you think at some point hussein could buy his own vacation place? There must be something cool for sale in one of the 57 states.
DId you see the article this week that said whomever won NH would be President...Bet the author didn’t know Romney’s family had a home there.
He can go to his favorite place, Camp David. :)
Barack Obama could have done with a relaxing escape
He has been relaxing every chance he got for the last 31/2 years. Although, him being away from the WH is be a good thing.
