Looks like former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are putting down deeper roots in Washington: After renting a Kalorama home for their post-White House stint, the couple have purchased the eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bath home for $8.1 million, according to property records.
The Obamas have said they plan to remain in D.C. while their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school at Sidwell Friends. After leaving the executive mansion in January, the family settled into a rental home owned by Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and his wife, Giovanna Gray Lockhart, an 8,200-square-foot home that was built in 1921 and renovated in 2011.

No it isn't.
Does the $8.1 million house have a wall and guards? Syrian terrorists should be invited inside to share the Wookie’s wealth. Hell, make the Obuma shack a Syrian refugee camp to make the former Muslin-in-chief feel at home.
No debate about it. These ghetto grifters haven’t hit the big time so much since Ross Perot gave willie klintoon the white house.
and no wall
So now can he collect rent from the Secret Service agents like Joe did/does?
You've forgotten his stint as a Baskin Robbins Sales Associate in Hawaii - he probably could have save quite a bit from that career since he was apparently living either with his white grandma or his Hawaiian boyfriend-
Oh, wait- - wasn't he doing a bunch of coke and weed in those days?
.... Aaaand the first thing they did before moving into their “Rental” home was build a large wall around it .... Which of course was a colossal waste of money cuz every Democrat Brain Trust knows that walls don’t keep people out. So obviously they must be expecting a large influx of non-humans into the D.C. population.
... Evidently Barack figured out a way to tap into a vein of some of that “White Privilege” he’s always talking about.
Just one missile.
Just one.
Agreed. If he wanted to be anywhere else, he would be. “His daughter’s schooling” wouldn’t matter. There are elite schools everywhere. If there was any doubt about what he was doing staying in D.C., that had to have been removed when he decided to shadow Trump on his overseas trip.
There really should be. I think the most of the country could get behind a Constitutional amendment for that, if need be. As well as a law or amendment barring a former President’s spouse from being President. Although maybe if Democrats want to keep doing that, we should let them.
“His daughters schooling wouldnt matter. “
—
Can’t agree there-——it should matter.
.
I don’t see his daughter’s schooling being reason enough for him to stay in Washington. I think he’d be elsewhere with his family if it suited his next goals.
8 bedroom home for Valerie, Barry, moochelle, Malia, the other kid, The one for Mom and 1 extra bedroom used as Valerie’s Server/Computer room to keep in contact w/ the entire Deep State. That Leaves 2 extra bedrooms for his visiting gay boys.
Correction: 1 extra room for his visiting gayboys.
Just a place to provide kickbacks to your buds and represent K street and any other country you can screw into giving you money so you can give it back thru some government program along with a huge skim for everyone involved.
How does an ex prez come up with that kind of change? Book deals?
The two Chicago grifters did all right for themselves.
Great minds think alike.
Obama spent $5 million on the wall around the home.
