Obama’s Chicago home gets foreclosed (Is this a joke?)

CHICAGO, IL – President Obama’s Chicago homecoming on Wednesday was less welcoming than he expected, as Obama was shocked to learn his Hyde Park residence had been foreclosed upon some time last year. Obama was in Chicago for a series of fundraisers and decided to visit his old home, only to discover the locks had been changed and a new family had moved in.

Since his inauguration, President Obama had neglected to make a single payment on the home he’d shared with his wife and two daughters, while the house itself fell into grave disrepair.

I can't believe this is true....

[hinckley buzzard]

IDK if this is true but I would not be shocked. This man is not mentally stable after all, and to disregard a normally significant element of responsibility is not beyond the pathological narcissist.

[af_vet_rr]

I don’t believe it either.

“”Romney outsources entire campaign organization to China 01/13/2012

“BEIJING - Gov. Mitt Romney was the guest of honor Friday at the ribbon cutting ceremony for what will be the nerve center of his entire 2012 presidential campaign organization - a 150,000 sq. ft. warehouse in China’s capital city. Romney looked on with pride as 5,000 Chinese factory workers marched inside the colossal structure to begin their 15-hour workday, manufacturing ‘Romney Job Creator #1!!’ bumper stickers and calling registered Republicans in key South Carolina counties.

“These workers represent what this campaign is all about - people coming together in spite of government regulations and labor laws to elect the only person in this race with private sector experience,” said Romney, who shuttered his former campaign headquarters in Boston as well as all his state and local campaign offices to consolidate his operation in Beijing.

Back in Boston, former Romney campaign volunteers remained outside their former workplace, gathered around steel drums packed with burning Romney yard signs for warmth, banking on the off chance that another candidate might arrive and put them back to work.

“It’s unfortunate, but I have to believe Governor Romney had our best interests in mind when he shipped our jobs to China,” said Lucy Kearns, 40, a former Romney phone bank operator-turned-vagrant. “If it’s good for the bottom line, that’s what counts.” Though there is speculation that Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is eyeing the old Romney HQ for her campaign, Kearns flatly dismissed the notion of working for, “a Communist.”

Before departing from his new campaign headquarters, Romney offered a final defense for his controversial decision, explaining, “This is just what’s best for the campaign right now. And campaigns - like corporations and other faceless, sexless concepts - are people, too.”””

Look at the bottom of the article. It is linked to another web site, which is a satirical web site, so, no, it is not true.

This is a satire piece. Just check the link at the end of the article and it sends you to the authors comedy site.

There is no way in the world that the house of the first so called black Pres, located in Commieland Chicago, is going to be anything less than some form of shrine for leftists.

You cannot forclose on the President. He can print all the money he needs.

This can’t be real...he jimmied open the door with a credit card? He’s nowhere near that competent.

I don’t care much about his Hyde Park house in Chicago (this is obviously a satire) - I just want to see him evicted from our House!

[Bullish]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's true because Barry is used to having everyone else do everything for him.
Teleprompter boy probably doesn't even tee up his own golf ball.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Is there something really odd about the water from the Potomac? That makes politicians in Washington forget about their old homes? Surely not even Barack Obama is this stupid!!! But something slightly similar happened with Rick Santorum, the GOP hopeful. He did not get foreclosed on, and he paid its taxes, but he did leave the house empty and overgrown with weeds. There was a scandal about whether this Pennsylvania home counted as a residence in Pennsylvania (it got resolved by Santorum physically moving back to Pennsylvania).

[Leep]

I was wondering if Obama’s chicago home got thrown under the bus but I see it not for real.

[smokingfrog]

I won't believe it until I read it in The Onion.

[freekitty]

LOL So true.

[leaning conservative]

Big ditto!

[TexasCajun]

My understanding Bari's name is not listed as the owner of the property.

Property tax reports on the property list others.
