Fill title: A beautiful day! The Obamas join U2's Bono and The Edge for lunch at a stunning chateau in the medieval French city of Èze - before jetting off to Italy to stay with George Clooney at his Lake Como villa
Barack, 57, and Michelle, 55, were joined by their daughters Malia, 20, and Sasha, 18, on their lunch date with Bono, 59, and The Edge, 57, on Friday
The group walked though Èze as they made their way to the two-Michelin-starred restaurant La Chèvre d'Or
Bono's wife Ali Hewson, 58, appeared to be with them, as well as a woman who is thought to be his daughter Jordan Hewson, 30
They were joined by other friends and members of the Obamas' Secret Service detail during their stroll
The Obamas traveled to Avignon by private jet last Friday, just days after Sasha graduated from high school
Bono and The Edge co-own a luxury mansion in Èze, and the Obamas may have been staying with them while visiting the French Riviera
They were understood to have stayed at a sprawling $60,000-a-week farmhouse during their time in Provence, where they hiked and toured a vineyard
The next stop on the Obamas' European jet-set tour will be George and Amal Clooney's mansion on Lake Como in Italy

correction...”DURING AND AFTER”
He was raking it in while POTUS.
Yup.
Hypocrisy is the hallmark of a liberal.
A two and a half year vacation tour.......Shouldn’t they be home working on their $65 million book deals?
Meanwhile doing nothing to help troubled Chitcago yutes
Probably the name of some punk rock band.
What about the $65 million book deals for he and his wife?
I don’t know...I just looked it up and that’s what I saw...
Here’s ANOTHER one I just found...
the Obamas’ net worth, which is at least $40 million, according to a 2018 GoBankingRates estimate. The New York Post recently pegged their fortune much higher, at $135 million.

I am in no hurry to see them return.
“Shouldn’t they be home working on their $65 million book deals?”
I’m sure the ghost writer is.
Private jets, $60,000-a-week farmhouses, sprawling chateaus, hobnobbing with gazillionaire rock stars in the south of France... ain’t community organizing grand?
Good point.
The Guilted Age?
Oh, dear. Michelle is wearing a halter dress designed for a person much shorter than herself.
The pictures at the site show Michelle Obama walking next to Bono - she has more muscular arms than he does!
Livin’ Large
Perfectly decked out for his holiday on Lake Homo.
I’m reminded of Harry Truman, who with his wife Bess, took a train back home to Independence, MO. He somehow didn’t figure out how to get rich as Senator, VP or President.
