t seems all the bookmakers sending the Obamas to New York City or back to Chicago after the end of the President’s second term are wrong by a few thousand miles.
A source close to Wall St. Cheat Sheet has confirmed that the Obama family have purchased property in the city of Asheville in North Carolina as a post-Presidency residence. A call to get an official confirmation from the White House wasn’t immediately returned.
The President discussed retirement there last year during his trip to North Carolina during a speech in Asheville. “Love coming to Asheville,” said Obama. “Michelle and I always talk about how after this whole presidency thing, we’re looking for a little spot to –” here an audience member said, “Come on down” — “Come on down? Play a little golf, do a little hiking, fishing, barbecue,” said Obama. “There’s two things that keep bringing me back here. Number one is I really like the people. And number two is 12 Bones, which I will be stopping on the way back to the airport.” On the one hand, a smaller city like Asheville doesn’t offer the same enormous population to lose oneself in as does New York or Chicago. On the other, the president and his wife clearly like the area.
“The president first visited the Asheville area during the campaign, and he liked it so much that he vowed to take his family there. The president and first lady are planning to spend a quiet weekend enjoying some of the many things this beautiful part of the country has to offer,” reported the White House. This, of course, led to a great deal of “vacation like the president” slogans from the city’s tourism industry.

“My former hometown. Glad I left. “
It’s a “homotown,” just ask the visitors.
0h0m0 said that he likes the people there, now you know that those are HIS PEOPLE.
Country Clubs and golf courses don’t shut down ex-presidents.
I miss the meaning of this comment.
>> From WND, Ayers didn’t get a dime from the sale <<
Yes, maybe so. But on the other hand, WND is hardly the world’s most reliable source.
Doesn’t matter. It has been overrun by the Half-Backs anyway.
That would be the one.
What ever happened to Hawaii?
Wont believe it until I see him standing next to the next president being sworn in. I have a hard time believing he is simply going to walk away.
I am just saying what everybody is already thinking.
TIN FOIL HAT OFF.
I didn’t realize that dandiegirl was a ventrologist.
Will this be one of many homes or the one and only? 0h0m0 supposedly doesn’t like cold weather. Maybe the wookie will live there and he’ll be in Hawaii.
I always thought he would settle in an affluent area,like most Dems.
The median family income there is only about $44,000.00.

A planned divorce settlement gift to the Wookie ... Asheville is so sickeningly liberal leftist that she can probably get elected to some office from there.
“You don’t take into account the 1,000 buzillionairs who have multiple estates there or nearby. “

No,I’m not familiar with the area.
Thanks for the info.

“. Asheville is so sickeningly liberal leftist that she can probably get elected to some office from there.”

Poor North Carolina-—if this happens.

Well, at least 750.
“She also could take up two or three seats on the City Council. “
:-)
I see a sense of humor is alive and well in the South.
.
You people in Ashville are so fooooked!
“Not as many blacks in Asheville, but plenty of mindless liberals.”
I’m laughing my arse off over this. Asheville has very little racial politics for a southern city. Everyone gets along fairly well.
That will change with Obama and Mooch carpetbagging.
