President Obama ditching frigid DC to head to sunny Palm Springs after inauguration while moving vans are spotted outside his new $4.3m home

President Obama will fly to Palm Springs on Friday with his wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia

There is a good chance that the Obamas could be staying at the home of Michael Smith and James Costos, where they have stayed in the past

Once the vacation is over, the Obamas will return to the 8,200-square-foot-home they have leased in DC for the next two years

On Monday afternoon, moving vans were spotted outside the Obama's new home in the district's Kalorama neighborhood

The Obamas will be staying in DC until Sasha finished high school in 2019

Vice President Biden and his wife Jill meanwhile will depart DC on Friday for Delaware on Amtrak

Meeting with the Capo di tutt’i capi to get his new instructions?

Hit the Road Jack Barack!

Ha, I called it two days ago that Oboomba was heading for Palm Desert/Palm Springs. Golf with the Choom Gang, on-the-down-low with Reggie Love, and Chewbacca scissoring with Orca & Gayle. Sushi & Malaria off doing something else.

[libh8er]

Have to question how much of an Anglo hater is he really.

[Verginius Rufus]

The girls don’t have to attend school because their parents want to take a vacation?

[stylin19a]

He’s not flying home (he can walk there) so, he and his entourage should be charged.
Hope DJTrump bills them.

No mention of the inlaw...

Rancho Mirage May Become Home to President Barack Obama

Reports say Thunderbird Heights house is about to close escrow

Site Staff July 22, 2014 Real Estate

The Palm Springs area may once again become the home of a U.S. president.

Reports from several media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, have indicated President Barack Obama will soon close on a Rancho Mirage house in the exclusive Thunderbird Heights community.

Obama has been to the Palm Springs area three times in the past year, including two visits to Sunnylands. Their most recent stay was in Thunderbird Heights over Father's Day weekend when the President played golf.

• See a video of the house on YouTube.

Coincidentally, the house is featured on the July/August cover of Palm Springs Life Homes magazine.

The house was listed in the magazine at $4.5 million and reports say the president will pay $4.25 million.

Thunderbird Heights is where Hollywood icons Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra once owned homes.

The house is part of a 3.29-acre estate. The 6,100 square foot main home has four bedrooms and 4.5 baths, and there is an additional 2,000 square foot casita with three bedrooms, three baths.

The house has been on the market before. Ten years ago, it was listed for $12 million by realtor Michael Fogarty, then went off the market and was reposted for $7 million. The latest offering by Marc Lange and Carl Blea of Sotheby's International Realty started at $4.8 million.

You mean he’s being rode out of town on a rail?

A couple of rump stumpers?

Joe Lockhart’s house. The next question being how an ex press secretary affords a house that big.

[Lazamataz]

Sure pays to be Presidentin’.
