President Obama and his wife just closed on a mansion in Hawaii and plan to move – in January 2013!
Barack and Michelle Obama will be moving to Hawaii in January of 2013. They have just purchase an estate in close proximity to land owned by the University of Hawaii, where the Obama presidential library and “political center” will be located. The estate is valued at $40 million.
This story was broken by Hillbuzz.org .
Reports out of Washington are that Barack and Michelle are counting on a loss in November and are anxious to return to Hawaii to start their new life. “They want the kids to attend high school in Hawaii, and they want to be as far away from Washington as possible,” said a source in the White House.
Michelle does not want to move back to Chicago and its winters and Michelle’s mother, who’s been living in the White House with her daughter and her family, is “absolutely thrilled” to be relocating to Hawaii.
In fact, Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, has been bragging about getting to live in Hawaii next, in a $40 million beachfront mansion after leaving the White House. ”It was fun while it lasted”, Miss Marion is quoted by Chicagoans as saying, “but wait until you see the place they’re buying for Michelle and Barack!”
Here she is with a picture of their mansion in Hawaii:
For the past year, Democrats have been working on locating acceptable property in Hawaii for the Obamas to live. The land and its complex of buildings will be ready to move-into in January and has met all the requirements the Secret Service demands since the Obamas will be granted continued protection, by law, for nine years after Barack leaves office.
The Reagans, Clintons, and second Bush family all had their post-presidential homes purchased quietly on the side by friends when their times in office were coming to an end. The Obamas are doing the same thing now.
The woman who is organizing the funding of the Obama’s post-presidential estate is Penny Pritzker (pictured above with the Obamas). She is also in charge of raising the donations for Obama’s presidential library and museum. Pritzker is a billionaire who in recent years resolved a long-standing family feud over her late father’s vast business empire that includes the Hyatt Hotel chain as well as assorted manufacturing operations.
The wealthiest families in Chicago are being leaned on heavily to contribute with Penny aggressively guilting them with “appeals of you don’t want the President to be homeless in January, do you?”
There’s a movie theater in the mansion and it already is set up to play ALL of Obamas speeches over the last 20 years – in a continuous loop.
Joe Biden was also interested in buying a house in Hawaii, but the Obamas are encouraging him to find a place in Florida. “Joe will be much happier there and the Obamas… well, they’ve seen enough of Joe,” said a source in the White House.
Even though the polls in the Presidential election are close, President Obama is already making his plans for January.
SO, the Obamas will be leaving the White House soon… Hawaii, here they come!

It will.

Unfortunately satellites trump distance.
What do you want to bet this mansion has its own studio and set for frequent 'Bama interviews with the suck up MSM, as he criticizes President Romney's actions at every turn.
There's no way this turd is going quietly into that good night.
Democrats in general lack the character (witness Bill Clinton), and this democrat in particular is wholly devoid of character.
Looks like someone might need a part-time job as a Walmart helper to cover that $222,000 annual property tax bill!
If that’s on Hawaii, the tax rate is $5.55 per $1,000 of assessed property, according to these guys:

That’s a CHUNK-O-CHANGE!
There have long been movements for Hawaii to secede. It’d be one way to get him out of the country. Banishment, of course, would be better.
Just because Weekly World News ran the story doesn't necessarily mean that it is false. It could be true.
Isn't that the Harry Reid standard for reporting? An allegation has been made, it is up to Obama to prove that it is not true.
Talk about being a member of the one percent crowd.Gee.
Shhh. Their trying to keep this quiet.
This article is blatantly recycled from the speculative Hillbuzz blog article it sources, and it isn’t even the updated Hillbuzz info on the subject. It even uses a known photoshopped picture. Garbage blog.
What’s wrong with their mansion in Chicago? Not good enough anymore I guess.
Hmmm, 40 million estate. Revenue from book sales that he forced on the American taxpayers via book sales? That “He” has from forcing the government to place “his books” all over the world at our “expense”.
WOW...Rezko was peanuts compared to this....
So true. Oblahblah has had someone else paying for him all his life. Why should things change now?
OMG! A new substitute for Capital Punishment.
So where did he get the money? Under Dodd-Frank doesn’t he have to put down 20% of the $40 million?
You don’t suspect corruption, do you?
Two more books (each) and a half dozen speeches a year (each) and $40 million is a piece of cake.And remember that personal security for a former President will allow those two parasites to stick the American taxpayer with a big chunk of the bill.
That last link was great. You should organize a ping list around this...
The thread referencing his purchase of an estate in HI said he would move in Jan 2013. Perhaps it is currently rented to another, but if not, then why is he not staying in his own home in HI? Just wondering...
Oops, I posted on the wrong thread. Good day :)
