Isn't that special! Another Socialist owning two mega mansions which will use a lot of energy to keep cool and warm. Next, he will buy a private jet so he can fly all over the world. Why do we have to keep paying him for his elite lifestyle and keep paying for his Secret Service! There ought to be a law!

So, does anyone ask WHERE did the Obama's make all their millions? They certainly didn't have it when they lived in Illinois. They didn't have it when he was a Senator or when he took office as President. OBVIOUSLY there are millions to be made if you make it to the Oval Office. Look at the Clintons. What is wrong with that picture. MEANWHILE Taxpayers are still paying for the Obama's and Clinton's Secret Service details, private offices and who knows what else. I think THAT should be revisited. Maybe President Trump could shut that down while he's in office!!

There goes the neighborhood…
FTA:
The former president has criticized wealthy people for their big houses before. During a speech in South Africa last year, the president lamented the issue of income inequality, and blamed wealthy people for living excessively lavish lifestyles.
“There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have,” Obama said at the time. “There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”
And have a look at the photo selected to go with article...

Some additional research. The property has been for sale since at least 2015, when it was listed at $22 million:

(hit submit too soon)
Roll forward to October 2018:
t's been more than three years since Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck first listed his spectacular waterfront Martha's Vineyard estate. The mansion has lingered on the market without a buyer making a fast break to the bank, so Grousbeck has slashed the price.
In August 2015, when it was originally put on the market, the price was set at $22.5 million, but it has been cut by more than $6 million, and currently sits at $16,250,000.

Now it’s listed at $14 mil and change and the O’s are getting a discount, presumably from that. Such a deal...
Lots of lawn to cut unless the Mighty O’s decide to put in masses of affordable housing around it...

This sickens me when I think of honorable men like Harry Truman, who left the White House broke and Donald Trump who has lost money since becoming president. These two grifters along with the Clintons have stolen millions from the American people.

Considering these people weren't multi-millionares before Zero's presidency, and his salary was what? Half a million/year...
...where did they get the money to buy and maintain such a lavish property? Some... Chinese... investments? Or perhaps I-ran to that conclusion too quickly...
How many of our secrets and access, did Zero sell to foreign interests - maybe even foreign enemies...

Meanwhile, the Left is demanding Donald Trump's tax returns? I think the IRS should sic a forensic accountant on the Lightbringer's finances instead. This raises some interesting questions. We know why so much money was donated to the Clintons. What can the Obama's promise to be able to have this kind of money sent their way?
A possible Mooch run for the Presidency?

Seven bedrooms, eh? I thought we were supposed to limit our carbon footprint. The Obamas aren't making a carbon footprint. They are making a carbon BUTT print -- one much bigger than the size of their feet combined.
Here we go again . . . different sets of rules for different people. The Obamas can climate change until the farting cows come home. The rest of us? We bear the burden of their foolish regs and rules.

To those who are asking where he got this money......do you remember that 800 billion dollars that congress appropriated to build and repair our roads and bridges and other structures? Well do you remember that those projects were never done. Has anyone checked off shore accounts that may be in Obama's name or maybe a foundation like Billy and Hillary set up ? You don't make that kind money writing books or making speeches.

Sounds like they'll be able to really isolate themselves from the rest of the 99%.
So, they have a house in Chicago, a home in Palm Springs, and now one in MA.
Wonder if that's so one of their children is able to get "in state" tuition?

Did their BFF Penny Pritzker buy them a mansion in Hawaii as she was supposed to do? I saw another article that said the Obola's SOLD their previous home on MV and bought this one. Say what! Taxpayers paid the outrageous rent when they vacationed on MV every year he was in office.

Some posters above have suggested the ways that these two vermin got all that cash. Here’s another one - get a $60 million advance in a book deal for a book that somehow never gets written. And smidgen’s deal from a couple of years ago is not the first time that he’s taken the cash and produced nothing. I guess that Bill Ayers is too busy. At least Mooch found someone to write hers.

America is indeed a land of OPPORTUNITY. Imagine, a kunta kinte who claims he was born in Hawaii and not in Kenya, who never had a real job, becomes the POTUS, who sold out this country, spent most of his terms at the lady's tee, a complete financial illiterate, vacationed and partied for full 8 years....ends up owning two mansions worth millions and millions! .......looking at their lifestyle, they are more white than black!

The Obamas ended up with that Chicago house via some bogus deal with Rezko (sp?). No one was ever clear about the ownership. Big Mooch complained about the teensy condo they all sardined in prior to that. As for homes in Hawaii, Penny Pritzker envisioned a contributor-financed residence and library for the O’s. That disappeared without a trace. Palm Springs-Rancho Mirage was indeed a mirage. DC/Kalorama was a rental. Owner Joe Lockhart had had it on the market for quite a while, as I recall. Who knows whether they actually owned it. Have you seen a deed or evidence of a deed recording? I haven’t. As for another house on MV, ditto. Rumors, but only rentals. By this time the Celtics guy has to be desperate. Doubt that he owned it free and clear so the carry and taxes had to be eating him alive. He may have ended up paying Obie to take it!

It is not the fact that Dumbo is the biggest fraud in political history. It is the unbearable stupidity of the American people who elected him and bought into his very low IQ and obvious low level background. Donald Trump must investigate both Obamas, their criminal background including drug dealing. But above all Obama is a traitor who stole billions and gave it to any muslim country that asked for it. Go get him Mr. President.!!!

The Boston Herald says they are “trying to buy” this house. Article requires whitelisting or subscription. Skip it. TMZ saying they have made an offer, property in escrow, “but there are contingencies”. Believed to be very discounted. Don’t hold your breath.

Those big homes on Martha’s Vineyard are essentially Summer homes and high mucky mucks like the Obamas generally do not live there during the cold months. Hollywood during Winters, and Martha’s Vineyard in the Summers, would put the Obamas right smack dab in the middle of the leftist and liberal globalist investor class year round.
