Remember that time when former President Barack Obama was addressing Wall Street reform and said, “I do think, at some point, you’ve made enough money.”? Well, what better way to celebrate his own good fortune than buying a fabulous 29-acre estate on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, right? Unless, of course, people paying attention say, “Hey, wait a minute. What about your carbon footprint, Mr. Obama?” The Obamas rented the place for the summer and loved it so much they offered to buy it. The owner, Boston Celtics owner, Wyc Grousbeck, took them up on it. The Obamas are said to be paying less than the listed price.

Don’t pay any attention to what they say, watch what they do.

Where exactly does Obama get all his money? Nobody knows. Obama is the Jeffrey Epstein of politics. Where Jeffrey extorted people who visited his "Pedophile Island" to insure his silence. Epstein was worth almost $600 million at the time of his "suicide" and nobody ever saw him work a day in his life.
Obama acts like a drunken sailor on leave and nobody ever sees him working. I believe people give him money because he knows too much dirt. You don't buy a 20 milion dollar mansion because you ghost write a crappy book nobody read. Obama knows how to work the money gravy train and I predict he will beome the first billionaire ex- president. It is a sweet gig if you can get it.

There is nothing wrong with someone with sufficient means spending his own money. There is something grossly wrong with that person (or that couple) pretending to be morally superior to the rest of the country while loudly buying the equivalent of a shiny new Escalade with gaudy gold wheel rims and blackout windows.

Someone yesterday, humorously pointed out that this act shows how seriously Zero and Moochel take climate change.
How would anyone who believed the inevitable melting of the icecaps, raising the sea levels as much as 100 feet, EVER plant themselves at the sea shore?

Whoever said that being a politician doesn't pay? To quote Obama, paraphrased, "how much is enough"?

Well, they did spend their lives work so very hard for the"little people", didn't they?
It's so nice to finally know who the"little people" really are, isn't it?
They're little people.
Just think how much $15 million dollars could help poor intercity children "of color".
After all, he didn't make that.

As they say, if the dictionary included a picture beside the definition of "hypocrite" it is Barack Obama. Nobody ever bothered to question his many "donations" from the Middle East during his eight years of campaigning just as they did not question who financed his college education and his Illinois community organizer work and senate run. Currend wealth had to have come from deliberately inflated sales of both of their adolescent-level books and sleezy contribution to Netflix. Hollywood and the publishing world loves these two grifters and I'm sure a few well known billionaires have slipped them a few million bucks under the table, the Hungarian murderer and all-around troublemaker being the primary suspect. The Obamas live and act as though they are the cream of society when in reality they are the scum that settles to the bottom.

Th Obamas are a living tribute to the incredible stupidity of the American people. and the traitorous actions of the American media. A so-called black man with a white mother stumbles and mumbles for eight years operating the most important country in the world. Two years later has a 200 million dollar bank account and laughs at the idiots who gave him so much for really nothing but future problems. This country's survival is on the ropes unless Trump can save it!!

I doubt that the Obamas truly believe in "climate change". I believe they love the publicity that "caring" for the earth brings them, not to mention the money that enables them to buy expensive homes surrounded by water. They will keep "caring" for the earth so long as it's a profitable venture. Al Gore is kind of the template.

How many of their neighbors are black? Ever notice that they always find a white neighborhood to live in while spouting their anti-white racism? Why do they never go back to their home in Chicago? Why did they vacation in Hawaii? Why is their DC home in a non-ethnic neighborhood? Why does Mooch wear straight-hair wigs and why did she get her nose and lips surgically changed?

I guess if you have the money given to you, it doesn't count.

Which PROVES that they don't believe any of this BS "climate change" and "rising seas" nonsense that they have been pumping out for years.
Man has no effect on the global climate.
The Zero is a grifter, a racist, a Marxist and a punk.

I don’t believe they are buying it. This is just a reshuffle of articles that appeared elsewhere. The Boston Herald headlined that they were “trying to buy” a house on MV. Another article mentioned that Obie might have made an offer. Another said there was an escrow, but that the purchase was “with contingencies”. Those are backdoor escape hatches for a wannabe buyer. I’ll believe it when I see a recorded document.
Among the reasons why it makes no sense: It is in a remote looking area on a big pond. This is not surfer Obie’s Hawaii. It is not a year-round place to live. For most MV is a summer vacation place.

#4 beat me to it. No idea if Karen Townsend listened yesterday to Rush, but her article is exactly Rush's point. Zero buys a huge carbon footprint mansion right on the beach that will, supposedly, be under water in a few years from sea level rise due to climate change. As they say, you can't make this stuff up!!

Yes, this story smells. My guess would be that the 0s are blackmailing Wyc Grousbeck into allowing them to use it for free. Pretending to buy it prevents a real sale, and give cover to the owner. Barry's probably still holding out to be King Odunga the 1st of Kenya.

If they’d moved a little faster they could have bought this one. The circumstances are oddly similar. Big house on pond (not ocean front) is listed for $22 million; ultimately sells for $14+ million. And it looks like a nicer house - even has a secret service guest house and a basketball court. Oh, well…

Do you suppose they get a “deal” from the owners of these real estate white elephants that are not moving. They go and stay for free, house picks up more cachet from a certain market, and bingo! House sells….???
