The Obamas complete purchase of Marthas Vinyard estate.

So I guess when Obama said "at some point, a person has made enough money," the amount he was talking about was on the plus side of 100 million?

 

Must be nice to become rich going into politics.

 

From the picture, that sounds about right. Hella nice pad! He spent 8 years as President, and that's the kinda spread anybody would be proud to retire to.

 

Actually, he became rich after leaving politics, but don't let facts get in your way ...

 

What are you talking about. The alt-lefties tell us we all have 11years 4 months.

 

It is described as a waterfront estate.

 

That's still waterfront.

 

Your post shows that you get your information from morons. The the most radical lefties are saying that there will be a point of no return in 12 years, not that sea level will rise 10 feet in 12 years.

 

That kinda money comes (or at least certainly can) come from speaking engagements, his many autobiographies, and good investments.

I wish that politics didn't create rich people, but that's always been the case. The same is true for generals in the military.

 

????

 

Only Barack Obama -- the Left's Anointed One -- could manage to give Hillary Clinton a run for her money in regards to being the most corrupt. And again . . . while leftists cheer.

 

For which he has yet to produce anything enough people will watch to make their money back and books that no one will read and damn few will Trust anything in them.

 

Unlike Dirty Donald Jr.,Obama did not get the DNC to buy his way onto the best seller list like the RNC did for Dirty Don Jr..

 

I remember being in the Hong Kong airport back when he first got elected, and the duty free bookstore was filled with his autobiographical books. I saw the same thing in Malaysia and Japan. The guy was selling books in serious numbers.

 

Obama's or just books?

 

The Obama's first Netflix documentary, "American Factory," is an Oscar contender. Michelle's book sold 10 million copies and was the best-selling book in the US in 2018. Barak sold 8 million copies of his book. In comparison, Trump 's book sold about 1 million copies.

Your post is a fail.

 

you aren't suggesting that a few years in the senate and whitehouse wasn't enough money to buy the estate??? and that he used his position in government to become filthy rich???

 

wut? Well of course there are books. I was talking about book stores in international airport terminals, and they were awash in Obama's books.

jeez!!!!!

 

Nice. Way classier than mar a lago.

 

My family has vacationed on Cape Cod and the islands (Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard) since the 1960’s. It’s a special place.

The value will appreciate.

 

It certainly is beautiful.

 

Make money, spend it how you like. Hats off to that. But personally I wouldn’t go around saying stuff like this at the same time.

“There’s only so much you can eat. There’s only so big a house you can have. There’s only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it’s enough.”
—B. Obama

 

Dems love them politicians that enrich themselves in politics.

 

Like Jimmy Carter. Republicans made him put his business in a blind trust because they worried it might be a conflict of interest.

Now Trump makes foreign affairs decisions based on where his hotels are ... times have changed, haven’t they.

 

I used to spend summer holidays on the Vineyard, but scrupulously avoided it when the Clintons would take up residency. High-profile celebrities' presence is just too disruptive, and the sailing isn't that great compared to Down East.

Right-wing nutters whining about folks purchasing property doesn't appear to have any coherent rationale.

"Who the tell convinced me to vacation in Mar-a-lago?"​
