A Look Inside Barack and Michelle Obama’s Martha’s Vineyard Home (barf alert)
The Root ^ | 5/28/2024 | Stephanie Holland

From the elegant entryway, to the spectacular views, to the private beach, we’re exploring the special touches in the forever first family's gorgeous estate.

When your previous homes are the White House and Camp David, there’s a lot of pressure on your next address. For their post-presidential vacation getaway, Barack and Michelle Obama chose a private, yet beautiful estate that would offer them all the luxury and security they’ve become accustomed to.

According to Ebony, beginning with the Shearer Inn in 1912, the Oak Bluffs area has a long history of catering to Black vacationers. Over the years, it became one of the few vacation spots where Black visitors felt they could just exist without needing to prove themselves. We all know we can’t ever truly get away from the racism, but the island has provided a somewhat safe space for Black folks looking to relax and enjoy themselves with some simple summer fun.

According to Home & Gardens, the former first couple purchased the waterfront estate for $11.75 million in 2020. Per Bijan C. Bayne in Martha’s Vineyard Magazine, the island has been a longtime vacation spot for Black people, as the atmosphere isn’t racially aggressive and offers a reprieve from the constant slights and stereotypes we routinely face. Considering the spotlight the family lived under while in the White House, it makes sense that the Obamas would want to find a comfortable, safe space for their post-presidential lives.

That’s what I was thinking, surely the floors should be covered in seawater by now.

$11.75 million can buy you a nice little safe space cottage in Martha' Vineyard....

And another $8.7 million can buy a nice little ocean front lot on Oahu where you can build your little vacation cottage.

And to think that this little grifter was just a worthless US Senator from Illinois before he amassed his fortune........Isn't America great?

Here's the lovely couple enjoying some free time kayaking off the shore of their little Oahu cottage..........

The last picture is the “pond” where the chef died. It is a pond because there is a tiny spit of land that separates it from the ocean at low/high tide. So, the water right in front of their house is only about 8-9’ deep. Nice for wind surfing, kayaking or paddle boarding. I don’t think you could take a deep hulled fishing boat into it.

The chef died at night. IMHO, he was out paddling with one of the daughters. Which is why they were sent off the island the next day after the drowning.

Yes, they held Methodist church revivals at Oak Bluffs in the summer every year on the Vineyard. All the black people lived in these brightly colored Victorian cottages in Oak Bluffs. The rich white people all lived down in Edgartown. Which is where people like the Kennedy’s hung out on the island.

There is beach in Oak Bluffs called the Ink Well. It was because everyone that went to that beach was Black.

$240,000 a year....for eight years. Even if he didn’t pay taxes or buy way thing the math doesn’t add-up.

Where did they ever find an interior decorator who did this? I doubt you could find one on Nantucket who would do something like that. But this is the uber liberal Vineyard.

I don’t know where they found this inferior decorator; but this couple has been exposed to the best, so I guess this is proof that you can’t teach taste.

Big Mike is seen thru the window demanding Barrack drop to his knees to please... Big Mike was yelling, Hey Barrack I got a bone for you baby. The effeminate one of the Obama’s is a taker and not a giver - but we knew you were greedy.
