"After he leaves office in January, the former Leader of the Free World will become just another shlub in a suburban home with some extra work-space where his car should be, according to a report.
Obama plans to remain in Washington, DC, in a $5 million red-brick mansion he and First Lady Michelle have leased from ex-President Bill Clintons press secretary, Joe Lockhart.
With nine bedrooms and some 8,200 square feet of space, the stately digs already look like something out of Architectural Digest.
But according to construction permits obtained by TMZ, the property is now undergoing serious upgrades to its utilities and fencing. One of the mansions garages is also being fixed up so it can serve as a temporary office, the site said.
Yellow cones hinting at the state of the construction project could be seen at the property Sunday.
The huge home sits right on a public street, but has plenty of space in a paved side lot for the Obamas lifelong Secret Service detail to operate out of.
The home, which was built in 1928, had been up for sale earlier this year for $5.3 million, but was yanked off the market, according to Business Insider."

Will there be a Permanent Media Detail stationed in the house with Obama, or will the Secret Service have to share their space with them?
Maybe they’ll just rent or buy the house next door so they don’t miss out on the 24 hours of Breaking News scrolls when Barry waves at them from his bedroom window
I would have guessed that they would buy a home, however modest, if only to get away from entanglements like that.
Does it strike anyone else as odd that Clinton’s former press secretary owns a $5 million mansion?
I think Trump’s going to have this country up and running pretty fast.
The media’s attention will be on Trump, if only to heckle and bash him.
Barry’s going to be one bored, lonely dude for a long time.
He’ll probably go back on the choom, or the blow.
the Swamp is filled with such things
Barrys going to be one bored, lonely dude for a long time.
Correction: Barry and Michelle’s going to be two bored, lonely dudes for a long time
House is gonna be full of bugs, digital ones i suspect.
And he will have to start paying for air travel to the golf course, and the tee fees.
Can anyone explain to me how a person who was a ‘Press Secretary’ can afford a $5 million house in DC?
Seems a bit more than over the top.
And use it as a rental which reminds me - obamao can't even buy a place... he has to rent one! Pffft. They just don't make ex-Presidents like they used to. :D What's wrong with his house in Chicongo? Bad neighborhood? Too many people of color for oboingo's liking I guess. Oh, that's right, the kids need to finish the school year. Okay, in that case, let's revisit this issue in 6 months to see if he goes to Chicongo or Hawaii. I hope he goes to Hawaii. Chances are he can do less damage to the country there but in Chi-town he would be among his thug peers.
More than odd....rampant corruption zone...
I disagree. 1) He will have to pay for it now. I bet he won't go very much. 2) He no longer has a pool of lackey subordinates to tell him how great a golfer he is.
