July 21, 2014 Are The Obamas Buying A Home In Rancho Mirage?
President Obama and his wife, Michelle, could be the owners of a home in Rancho Mirage listed at $4.25 million before the month is out.
The First Family is believed to be in escrow on a contemporary home in a gated community where entertainers Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby once maintained estates.
The White House said rumors regarding a home in Rancho Mirage are not true.
But area real estate agents, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Obamas are the buyers of the Rancho Mirage home. Listing agents Marc Lange and Carl Blea of HOM Sotheby’s International declined to comment.
The Obamas would not be the first presidential family to land in the Southern California desert. After completing his time in office, former President Gerald R. Ford moved to the area, which has been called "the playground of presidents." Other U.S. presidents have visited and spent time in the Coachella Valley.
Speculation about a potential purchase started when the Obamas spent a long Father’s Day weekend there. President Obama was also in Rancho Mirage mixing business and golf earlier in the year, reported the Desert Sun, playing at Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison’s private course at the Porcupine Creek estate and at Sunnylands.

In the end he becomes a 1%’er.
With such a huge pad maybe he’ll invite some undocumented immigrants to live with him until they can get on their feet.
Let him pay the “millionaire tax “ and for “necessarily high power costs” to keep the house at a comfortable 72!
He could be Baton Master for the Rancho Mirage Precision Rump Wranglers, Pump Thumpers & Bumper Humpers drill team.
Oh, no. That is where I want to retire.
California is already poluted, we don’t need that humman trash!
And how many homes are counted at this time. Seem to remember a write up recently they had purchased one in the Carolinas. Great, one more home in which to store the ‘children’ Lots of empty houses owned by the boy-king ..that’s the rumor.
Well, Boehner may need a job by then, but Id hardly call him white, more of a orange color.
Tuh duhhhh!
I guess that unlike the Clintons, the Obamas don’t plan on leaving the WH “dead broke.” /S
