"I can't fault them for wanting to live in a beautiful home in a beautiful
neighborhood. Its the hypocrisy that gets me. Campaign against the top 1%
and then lose and fall in line with the top 1%.

Something STRANGE happens when Democrats leave the White House...
As they prepare for their exodus from the White House, the Obamas are
about to join another rarified club that of the ruling liberal elite class
owning multiple ultra-expensive homes in highly exclusive communities that
none in America can afford save the one percenters. The very same one
percenters whom they rant and rail against as being the greedy,
ego-centric millionaires who simply have too much.

Following the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton who (despite Hillary's
claim earlier this year that they left White House dead broke ) somehow
managed to educate their daughter at Stanford, Oxford, NYU and Columbia (
$500,000?), acquire a $1.7 million estate in Chappaqua and a $2.85 million
mansion in Georgetown and then Bernie Sanders who, shortly after ending
his 2016 presidential bid, bought his third home a $600,000 lakefront
vacation house on Lake Champlain.

Barack and Michelle have real estate designs of their own. Earlier this
year it was revealed that upon his leaving the presidency the Obamas will
not be returning to Chicago they will instead be moving into a $6 million,
8,200-square foot, 9-bedroom 12-bathroom mansion in Kalorama, one of the
Washington District's most posh, desirable and exclusive neighborhoods in
the heart of one of America's wealthiest zip codes. With daughter Malia
off to college that leaves just Barack, Michelle and Sasha until the
younger daughter graduates high school in 2018.
 
Nothing says I care about climate change, energy consumption and our CO2
footprint more than keeping an 8,200-square foot house heated and air
conditioned year round for just three people. The hypocrisy and do as I
say not as I do hubris of all these wealthy climate change proponents is
sickening. By the way, the Obama's new home is just two doors down from
Clinton campaign manager, John Podesta, who recently lost the most
significant campaign of his life.
 
But that's not the new news. We have now learned Barack and Michelle are
the proud owners of yet another home, this one on the Left Coast. As
reported by Page Six and other sources, the Obama's have a new home in
Rancho Mirage, California. Rancho Mirage is a popular golf getaway which
would explain its attraction to the soon-to-be ex-golfer-in-chief. By some
counts this makes the Obama's fifth home. Also from Page Six, The Obama's
are also said to have bought a holiday getaway in Obama's childhood home
state of Hawaii. How many American families own five of anything, let
alone houses? Let alone houses in Hawaii that they see once a year or so.
Most of us are blessed if able to rent a hotel room or condo on Hawaii
once a decade or a life time.
 
The relocation habits of Democrats leaving office is very interesting.
For example; having been voted out of office in 2014, Louisiana Senator
 
Mary Landrieu didn't return to Louisiana. she instead made her
7,300-square foot $2.5 million Washington DC mansion her new home. Rather
than returning to Little Rock, when Bill and Hill left the White House
they chose the liberal, ultra-wealthy haven of Chappaqua New York with its
average household income of $285,801 and average household net worth of
$1,564,366 for their new residence.
 
Now it's the Obama's turn. Are they going back to Chicago to live amongst
the little people and take their chances becoming yet another statistic
(total number shot as of this writing this year: 3,961)? No, not so much.
They, like the others, are moving into a private, secured community to
live in a house big enough for five families where they will host cocktail
parties for golf buddies and other millionaire and billionaire friends.
 
Yet like the Sanders, Landrieus and Clintons of the world, they will
accept exorbitant five-, six-, even seven-figure speaking fees to give
speeches about how the rich in our country are steadily pulling away from
everyone else and increasingly isolating themselves. About how the
concentration of wealth at the top is allowing some Americans to own
multiple houses, vacation when and as they please and live lives most of
the rest of the country cannot fathom. They'll blather on and on about how
the rich are a big part of the problems in our country.

problems in our country but they gladly join them hoping no one will
notice. Well, we did!"

once again, the republicons are missing the entire point of the past conversations.... it's not about 'all their money'.. it's about being fair to the working class...

in every example i've given, i've shown where ceo pay increased 300-400% while workers pay didn't even keep up with inflation. it's not about 'how much money they have'.. it's about fair compensation for fair wages... the last argument was about a failed ceo gets a multi-million dollar payoff when they get fired... a bad employee gets walked to the gate and maybe mailed a last check and a not so good reference on the next job.

once again, they can't see the forest for all those darn trees.

The wealthiest persons aren't CEO, of course.  The wealthiest are owners and investors.

Most of the top 10 wealthiest Americans are Democrats, none are for Trump

https://www.forbes.com/forbes-...list/#version:static

Numbers 1 to 5 are Democrats. Number 6 is either Democrat or Republican, as it suits his agendum. 

Numbers 7 and 8 are Republican/Libertarian and are definitely not Trump donors.

Numbers 9 and 10 are Democrats.  

So much for the left's fiction.

it's your republicon fiction, idiot. how many times do i have to say the same things over and over and over... it's all easy to research.. easy to see.. unless you are willfully ignorant or blinded by hatred of liberals.

If I said it at all this will be the millionth and oneth,, liberals will
inherently accuse conservatives of the crimes they commit, they
are that stupid and without regret or conscience.

If a politician is doing something illegal and reaping illegal gains, expose them, both parties, and put them in jail. The county jail, not a luxurious federal vacation home.  Again, BOTH PARTIES.

Good idea. Why don't you Democrats do that instead of protesting, rioting, destroying peoples' property and suing when someone wants to do the right thing and tries to hold Democrats accountable? Why don't you stop voting for them?

are dehumanized....

 and there you go... you're nothing more than a proven liar. there it is... i saved the screenshot... and now, the forum fool is shown to be the forum liar as well. congrats, you just lost your credibility and it's so sad. poor pitiful hate filled bigot.
