re: Inside Michelle and Barack Obama's new waterfront home – with its own private beach

Muhhh racism and oppression at work.

The career politician and identity politics are the two worst things to ever happen to our country.

Obama/Biden say hold my beer...

"And no challenge — no challenge — poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change," Obama said.

Do Hunter and Malia get their own room too?

Will they be dropping their kids off at the pool?

Republican's do the exact same.

Nixon, Ford, Reagan, had net worths less than 10 million when they died, and most of that was their California homes. The Bushes has family money before becoming president. In recent history getting wealthy from being president started with the Clintons.

quote:

---

the idea that any president of the US should not become wealthy from all of the book deals and speaking arrangements is laughable.

---

Even a president who ceaselessly shamed Americans for making too much money, living opulently, and creating too big of a carbon footprint?

quote:

---

I’d imagine a book deal for the president should produce a ton of money

---

Because they are “dark money” payoffs for things done while they were president. They get the multimillion dollar advance from the publisher because the publisher has been guaranteed x dollars in sales by a third party, they publish the book, and the third party purchases millions of dollars worth of the book which end up in a land fill.

quote:

Michelle told a story about how she wasn't recognized by someone in her ritzy area after they pet her dog and used it as clear evidence that white people are racist. I shite you not.

Move into an uppity exclusive enclave and get pissed when your uppity exclusive neighbors don’t fawn over you like the riff raff you were ostensibly trying to get away from.
