The squeals of porcine outrage if the Obamas joined a $200K/year country club would be something to hear.

Is Valerie Jarrett renovating the new Obama home in DC? Do we not have an extradition treaty there? Is there some really great golf course there? Any other ideas?
He's a private citizen now, how is it any of your business?

Good for him. French Polynesia is beyond stunning. I've been everywhere and Bora Bora remains the most beautiful place on earth imo.

And I don't even like the guy, but Trump blaming everything on him rubs me the same way like when the democrats blamed everything on Bush.

Why do you care? He is not a government employee anymore. He can do anything he pleases. He certainly earned it.

"Mr Obama is thought to be taking time out in the South Pacific to write his memoirs, for which he and Michelle are reported to have signed a deal worth $60 million with publisher Penguin Random House. He is expected to visit some of the other islands in French Polynesia, including honeymoon hotspot Bora Bora, during his stay.

Locally, there is also speculation that he will spend time on his friend, billionaire film producer David Geffen’s )(Dreamworks) $300-million yacht, which was moored in Papeete earlier this week and is now off the coast of neighbouring island Moorea.

I can't believe this is a thread. Seriously the man can't even vacation in peace! And for the record Valerie Jarrett doesn't live with the Obamas. Please stop with the fake news damn!

You're probably right, just like he pretended to write Art Of The Deal.

Oh wait.......

Deflection. Their guy is having a bad week. Throw him a rally and deflect attention to Tahiti.

Larger question is why do you care?


Is he spending your money?


What would you have the Obamas do?


This obsession with Obama really needs to cease. You people weren't happy when he was POTUS, nor do you seem content now that the man is out of office going about his business. It simply feeds into the narrative that certain persons just cannot stand the fact an African American man was elected POTUS and won't let that go.
