Obama stashed away millions while he was president. His green energy plant went belly up and I bet he took most of that money and pocketed it. Obama has to spend it somewhere.
Obama could barely afford his home before he became president. Now he spends money like he is a millionaire which he is many times over. DRAIN THE SWAMP!
He has disclosed his tax returns all along. He earned $ 436,065 in gross income last year, of which $400,00 was his salary, approved by Congress in 1999.
Like ALL former presidents and most cabinet members and politicians, he will likely earn handsome fees on the speaker's circuit, going forward. Like the others, he will earn more for a 45 minute speech than most people earn in a year.
Giuliani made $11 million a year in speaking fees, in 2011 based on his disclosed tax return associated with his primary run. That's small potatoes compared to the fee a former president can command and get on the speaker's circuit.
No worries. The swamp is being drained and replaced with an unprecidented number of billionaires, all of whom do quite well on the speaker's circuit.
I think the Obamas are doing what a lot of parents do for their children, putting them first. They have a younger daughter still in high school and another taking a gap year before heading to university. This is the first time in eight years that they'll have some semblance of the family life that so many others of us enjoy. If there is one thing for which the Obamas deserve respect from both liberals and conservatives alike, it is this: they have set a good example as both a couple and as parents. They deserve this time together as a family wherever they choose to live.
Yeah it's nice that after killing other people's children, he looks after his own. Although It's doubtful there will be any drone strikes wherever he relocates to.
It will be interesting to see where they are in a few years. It's possible Chicago will no longer feel like home when all is said and done, and they might be ready for a fresh start somewhere new. And President Obama's future plans will play into it, too. He's still a relatively young man, who probably isn't entirely ready to pack it all in and play golf for the rest of his life. Of course, Mrs. Obama's plans are relevant, too.
I did not find confirmation that a contract to rent space in Trump Tower has been agreed upon, only that it is being negotiated.
The Federal Government built a compound on the Reagan Ranch. One of the many structures still remains. I don't know of the Federal Government leased the land.
