I would love for someone to explain how Barack and Michelle can lease a $5.3 Miliion Home?

The only reason I used the prefix 'Crime" is because I'm amazed that this only thing isn't an issue with anyone.

Somehow, I firmly believe that someone who is now 'unemployed' since once you leave the office, you no longer can collect the $400,000 salary anymore.

Granted, he spent eight years receiving it, or about $4.2 Million in Salary and obviously not paying for 'anything' over the last eight years.

But, if I'm not mistaken they have been purchasing properties in any place they have desired for awhile now.

I also understand that he will now 'cash in' on outrageous fees for speaking to the fools that choose to employ him.

Still, it seems that many things are amiss.

See inside the $5.3 million Washington, DC home that the Obamas will move into after they leave the White House
By Dennis Green

January 19 is Barack Obama's last day in the White House. After the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, he and his family will be on their way to Palm Springs for vacation.

When they come back to DC, they will be settling into a home in the Kalorama section of DC, as Politico reported back in May.

It's not the White House, but it'll do.

Though smaller than the Obamas' former Pennsylvania Avenue address, the house is still a lavish residence in a desirable neighborhood. It was built in 1928, and it has 8,200 square feet and nine bedrooms. The move-in process has already begun.

Both Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and the family of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner can be counted as the Obamas' new neighbors in Kalorama, as both have also recently purchased homes in the neighborhood.

The Obamas will lease the home from Joe Lockhart, who served as press secretary in President Bill Clinton's White House, until their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school. It was listed for sale at $5.3 million before going off the market in May.

The Obamas are trading white for brick at their newly leased mansion in the Kalorama section of DC. More recent photographs show brick pillars have been constructed, flanking the path up to the front door.

It's gated and private, though it sits close to the road.

The gated driveway has plenty of space for Secret Service vehicles.[/B

Going inside is a bit like stepping back in time.

The living room is stately.

There are ample seating areas throughout the space.

The family room has a wall of sunny windows overlooking the garden out back.

The real family room is downstairs, though.

The kitchen is bright and updated, with marble countertops and luxury appliances.

It's also quite long.

Next to that is a large dining room — perfect for dinner parties.

Upstairs, the master suite has an attached sitting area ...

There are nine bedrooms in the home in total.

There's also another study upstairs, but the Oval Office it is not.

The laundry room in the basement doubles as a second kitchen.

Out back, the neat garden has plenty of room for relaxing and sunning outdoors.

On TB every waking moment
I heard on TV the other night that he is worth millions (I think they said 24+ million) and will be worth hundreds of millions in ten years.

Maybe I am remembering incorrectly ( on the amounts), but he does have money from his book sales and who knows what.

I saw on a FNews program, don't remember which, that showed Bummer's salary at around $250k ( I think) His net worth on taking office was only about $1M, yet leaving office his net worth had increased to $24M???

New math must really work for those in gov't.

I think he gets someone else like a holding company to by it and he or they move in. His last home was found the be in the possession of a holding company as he does not have the proper credentials to get a loan (fake SS N0#) and or secure it any other way in his or their name.

He receives the presidential salary for life. He also has all kinds of Fellow-Travelers who gladly "donate" to the cause.

And, of course, now he can charge many thousands for a speech, and now can receive some consideration of the favors he did while in office. Nice spending change for standing up giving your opinion.

I heard a rumour that his daughter in college was in trouble for not claiming $9million in her bank account when she applied for financial aid and FOOD STAMPS!

Like I said it was a rumour spread among women.

Those black metal shelves have to go.

As for net worth, what you do is have friends buy a few thousand of your book for a few thousand each. It's amazing how the money can add up that way, and all legit.

his very first few speaking engagements will be up for bid - $1M each - eazy $500k after that ... he can buy a few of these mansions within a couple of months

doing anything for free is over - next time he shows his face at the White House will be billed by his PR agent ....

He was a barely present senator, and before that allegedly a community organizer. Where did the $1 million come from?

Guys, when you lease you ain't buying it, so you might want to look to see how much the lease is....

Leasing a home usually costs MORE than the monthly mortgage payment would be.

Most of the homes in my neighborhood would have about a $2000/month mortgage payment while the ones that are leased in the neighborhood are going for about $2,500/month for the lease payment.

Government grants that was divided up as payments between him and his cohorts sending each other fake bills for services and exchanging money with each other to make look official.

I believe the rent on this house was about $22,000 a month. At least one of his homes was bought for them, can't remember which one.

It's like before color was invented. Horrible!

Well, all those "green energy" outfits that got Uncle$$$$ grants went belly up, mostly before even pretending to make/do anything, and probably half of the take was funneled to 0bola's private account someplace.

For starters.

Then, what happened to Gaddafi's $6 billion in gold??

My prediction:

His popularity will sink like a stone. Since he will be without any power, his ardent cult followers will cease to give a crap about him in a few short months.
