Michelle Obama has called the White House the "people's house," and similar to many American homes, it is seeing an increase in its value with the recovery of the housing market.

Since President Barack Obama, his wife, and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, moved into the White House in January 2009, the home's value has increased about 7 percent to an estimated $294.9 million, according to housing marketplace Zillow.

Yahoo! News is so Left Wing, it inserts a tribute to the Obamas, coupled with birthday wishes for Moochelle as well as "great news" about home construction.

This is a puff piece from an Obamabot, with folded-in puff pieces to give the story street credibility.

As Hannity said, Journalism died during the Obama candidacy in 2007-08.

So there’s value in trash then?

Does that $294.9 million include the big secret something they built in the back yard?

Typical. Spend $326 million on upgrades, using other peoples money, and call it a profit!

Lets see...7% since 2009. Or about 1.75% a year.

Inflation for 2009-2012 was:

2009: 2.7%
2010: 1.5%
2011: 3.0%
2012: 1.7%

For an average of: 2.22%

Soooo....the value of the White Hut did not increase at a rate that matched the rate of inflation.

Ergo - IT LOST VALUE.

The White Hut inhabitants give new meaning to the phrase “there goes the neighborhood”. (see tagline)

The Obamas will probably try to sell it to fund another vacation home somewhere.

I think they meant the cost to fumigate after usurper has left is going up daily..

In ancient times when a sacred place was desecrated a priest would be called in to purify it. Purification often consisted in the burning of sulfer and herbs. Our White House was a sacred place to all Americans. The current foul and vile occupants by living there desecrated our sacred place. After they leave I suggest we will need a priest brought in to purify it.
