IF YOU GET WEALTHY IN “PUBLIC SERVICE”, YOU ARE A CROOK.

How in God's name does a community organizer, politician, agitator get the money to buy a forty million dollar ($40,000,000) mansion? I suspect kickbacks from places like Solendra, Fisker Automotive and all the others. A million here and a million there and SHAZAM pretty soon you have a couple hundred million to retire on.

I tried to find a better source for this story, but no great luck. HillBuzz has been covering it a lot, for what it’s worth.

If the story is true—GOOD RIDDANCE!!!! I’d rather see him tried for treason, but just getting him far, far away from the rest of us would be very welcome!!!!

Makes Romney’s San Deigo home look like a damn railroad shanty. I wonder what the left has to say about Obama’s largess. Is that home LEED platinum? Ha. Ha. I assume the windmill and solar panels are hidden from photographic view because I just know this house isn’t run on dinosaur fuels.

I figured the BHO Presidential library would be located in Indonesia?

But at least Hawaii is a 12 hour plane ride from anywhere in the lower 48 - so MAYBE we won’t see as much of the ex-President Obama as we have of ex-President Clinton.

I thought that he couldn’t even afford arugula.

weekly world news? I’d give the Nat Enquirer more weight... if true that would be a very inconsiderate move. Obviously the first black president would have a lot of minority citizens interested in visiting his library. Hawaii is not exactly an affordable destination for most Americans.... I would have thought he would build in Chicago.

This is satire, right?

It’s getting harder and harder to tell these days.

Actually, if you read De Souza (I think), 0bama’s upbringing consistent of exclusive neighborhoods, exclusive private schools, privilege, set asides, and no privation whatsoever.

"They want the kids to attend high school in Hawaii."

Are they planning to buy the kids a VW microbus to use as a choom wagon?

I wouldn’t put too much faith in this. This is the same “newspaper” that “discovered” a WWII bomber on the moon some years ago.

Boy a life of “public service” is certainly lucrative

I wish I could afford a $40million house - without ever doing any real work in my life

Hawaii is about 5 hours from LAX by air ... a little over 2500 miles. Sydney Australia from LAX is about 12 hours.

Just a week ago it was being reported as a $35 million estate.

“See, I fixed the housing market!” /sarc

Since he obviously purchased it with money he stole from us taxpayers, does that mean we get to stay there any time we want? This fraud should be tried as an Enemy of the people and rot in prison instead of living in palatial luxury for the rest of his days. Will this “man” ever see justice?

Ahh the joys of redistributing other people’s wealth while hoarding your own. Priceless.

“...wait until you see the place they’re buying for Michelle and Barack!”

Who are the “they” who are buying a house for the evil ones?

Here is how it works, a leftist like Barack writes book. It actuality it sells about 50,000 copies. Then a left wing philanthropist “buys” a million more copies. But he tells the publisher not to bother printing them. The money gets funneled back to the author.

this magazine is as trashy a tab as you get. not buying this story.

The story has been out there for several weeks. Initially, the Obamas were rumored to be looking at one 'estate' but the deal fell through when word leaked out and the owner(s) didn't want the publicity. Thus, they settled on a 2nd 'estate' until they can construct their own multi-million $ home.
