Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama this week purchased a 6,892-square-foot home on Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, according to the Vineyard Gazette and TMZ.

When asked in a tweet how they were able to afford this Mansion: The Obamas had no response.

Its still unclear at this time how they were able to afford this new house at Martha's Vineyard.

Maybe you can be their pool boy?

Rofl. I doubt an obese whale like Bubba would qualify. They'd probably want someone who doesn't stick to the bottom of the pool.

Good for them. I'm sorry that you're so envious of the Obamas that you felt the need to post this days old news story so you can feel better. But whatever. Happy Holidays.

Being an ex President is profitable for Republicans too.

How does someone who had a $400,000.00 salary for 8 years accumulate the kind of money needed to purchase a huge multi million dollar home in Palm Springs and the also manage to be able to spend another $11.75 million for a vineyard in New York. Am I missing something as far as monies earned by our former President?

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

The one million dollar speaking fees they command once they leave office probably helps.

Republican and Democratic Presidents have all taken advantage of this. It's basically legalized bribery.

LolZ! With one search you might have learned that Michelle Obama pocketed a 65 mil advance on her book deal two years ago. She subsequently went on a book tour and was feted like a rock star by sold out crowds, so it was well worth it for the publisher.

I thought socialist democrats were for sharing money. It seems weird too they would choose not to live in Chicago.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

LulZ...you sound like a typical victim of right wing propaganda for believing the Obamas were ever socialist. Too much faux news will do that to you.

FYI: During his first term Obama made 96% of Bush's expiring tax cuts for the rich permanent. Look it up. That's not something a socialist would do.

It's weird you'd think they'd want to confine themselves to Chicago.

also manage to be able to spend another $11.75 million for a vineyard in New York.

WTF are you talking about? Where did you get the info they spent $11.75M for a 'vineyard in New York' ? Faux News?

This is their second mansion now, no? Pretty sure they bought something along the coast as well before...

[–] JoWilli (19957) 5 years ago

I believe this is their second home on the east coast, plus the other one they have in chicago.

[–] eYeDEF (5050) 5 years ago

Sounds like it just eats you up inside.

And?

Netflix gave them at least 100 million for creative input. I cancelled mine 18 months ago.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (17735) 5 years ago

They got ripped off. Ryan Murphy signed a $300M deal with Netflix.

[–] slimone (7996) 5 years ago

Sooooo do you have a problem with their purchase??

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Sounds like you're rather jealous.

[–] Bubbathegut (18049) 5 years ago

I feel sorry for all the illegal immigrants they could have helped with the money spent on 3 houses. Its a sad day indeed.

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

How do you know they're not doing both ?

[–] Sandman27 (3043) 5 years ago

Because it would've made the news if he was spending his own money. You think he'd forgo the free PR? And if you think he's doing both, then you prove it. You're the one who's claiming it, dunce.🤪🤪🤪

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

You think he’s like T-rump who wants accolades for the charity he provides? LOL!

Then it backfires on T-rump when we found out it was all a scam!! What an embarrassment he is.

[–] Sandman27 (3043) 5 years ago

Yes. Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......🤪🤪🤪

Look fat, here's the deal. So where's the proof? Burden of proof lies upon you. You can't prove, then you're just spewing chepooka as usual. What else is new?🤪🤪🤪

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

Burden of proof is on Bubba. Once again you fail.

[–] Sandman27 (3043) 5 years ago

Look fat, here's the deal. You're the one that questioned Obama might be doing both. If so, the burden is on you. Bubba didn't suggest anything, dunce. I know you're not too smart, so I didn't think you'd understand on the first try. Or the second. Or the third. Or ever. Get rekt much?🤪🤪🤪

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

He's the one who made the assumption from the get-go. Try again, because once again "you're a loser".

[–] Sandman27 (3043) 5 years ago

You're not too smart, are you, dogdump? Then again, we are talking about you.🤪🤪🤪

I feel sorry for all the illegal immigrants they could have helped with the money spent on 3 houses. Its a sad day indeed.

I'm sure they'll open up their ritzy homes to all the immigrants, homeless, or poor people seeking a better life who want to move in soon, with no walls, ICE, or restrictions of any kind. Yep. Any day now....
