According to Politico’s Mike Allen, Obama will lease the mansion from former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and Giovanna Gray.

The home was sold in 2014 for $5,295,000 and has 9 beds and 8.5 bathrooms, according to the McFadden group. It has 8,200 square feet and was built in 1928.

I had to go watch the video to see what you were talking about with the bananas. Freepers don’t miss anything.

He needs to live near his mother in Hawaii, who has been living under wraps since 2007. I remember the phony images of the Kenyan tossing her “ashes” into the Pacific.

[polymuser]

So, he’ll still be close to the UN building...

"Like minds! Have a great one!!!!

Yep. You, too!

[lovesdogs]

Well it is only a hop skip and a jump over to the islamic center from there.

You mean grandmother,I assume.

And I wonder if he’ll pardon Blagojevich.

Arkansas senator Tom Cotton hammered the president's foreign policy staff Tuesday morning, explaining why he's become "public enemy number one at the White House" over his opposition to the Iran deal. "I guess I became public enemy number one at the White House because I'm telling the truth about the Iran deal.

Cotton spoke out w/ radio host Hugh Hewitt, after Hewitt played a clip of White House press secretary Josh Earnest rejecting Cotton's arguments about the Iran deal.

"And that chump may think that subsidizing Iran's nuclear program with millions of tax dollars is a laughing matter. I don't think it's that funny. And if he or anyone else over there had ever been man enough to put on the uniform and pick up a rifle, and have to lead men in dodging Iranian-made bombs, they might not be laughing, either," the freshman senator added.

=====================================

If Cotton wants to be really useful, he should demand to see the solicitation letters Boobamba is sending out----raising funds on his Iran deal for his two foundations and his post-prez billion-dollar Chicago library.

Cotton should check whether Boobo's got lucrative speaking engagements lined up WRT the Iran deal, as well. And whether Boobo's got insider business deals lined up....as well a million dollar consultancies.

I think most people will move on...he’ll be very tiring and boring...where will he get his teleprompter?

Goggle Lockhart and you will learn how he made his money.

powerful D.C. positions

I think there's a great difference in the power wielded by the Speaker of the House and the President's Press Secretary. What favors can a Press Secretary grant?

How many presidents have hung around in Washington after their terms expired?

Woodrow Wilson, sure, but he didn't last very long and was basically a vegetable by that time.

John Quincy Adams came back as a congressman, Andrew Johnson as a senator and Taft as chief justice, but most presidents went back to where they came from.

This is Obama saying he's not from anywhere he could go back to, and he's going to stay around and get in the way for as long as he can.

Bad strategy, because ex-presidents become more popular when they leave the limelight, but I guess he can't leave it.

PS: That Taft thing is illuminating. Maybe Obama expects to end up on the Supreme Court.

Hussein is planning to essentially run a government in exile from his new D.C. mansion.

Don't sell The Donald short. I think he has the cojones to commit the Kenyan to prison.

For the thread, Tony Rezko’s wife (haha) purchased the lot next door to the future Obama home for full price, $600,000. This enabled the Obama’s to buy the house at a $300,000 discount as both properties were required by the seller to be purchased at the same time.

Obama called it “an above-board, market-based transaction”. (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Later, Tony Rezko’s wife (haha) sold a strip of the lot to the Obama’s for $100,000.

Tony Rezko was associated with Rod Blagojevich who was convicted and sent to prison trying to sell Obama’s Illinois Senate seat.

Watch for further developments between Obama / Rezko / Blagojevich, I’m predicting. Pardon me.

[Lorianne]

Looks rather dreary to me.

Bingo! I think you hit the nail on the head.

What’s the carbon footprint of an 8,000 sq ft home?

Sure, there's a great difference. But Lockhart's apparent financial success speaks volumes about the way the game is played in D.C. Obviously, whoever is paying Lockhart's 'communications firm' fees to communicate on its behalf seems to be under the impression that he has the influence and connections to get their message to the right people... in government and in the media. Where did acquire that influence and those connections? The White House gig.

I like the exterior. I think the interior décor sucks.
