I don't blame him for buying a nice place on MV. Especially when the leading Democratic candidate for President, Joe Biden, is talking about Obama being assassinated.

At publishing time, Obama was seen fashioning a stack of hundred-dollar bills into a makeshift barrier to stop the oceans when they rise from climate change.

I don't think Obama's climate change initiatives had anything in it about don't live in a mansion if you can afford it. But I'm sure people believe that he killed coal so he could live nice. IMO The Obama's have contributed much more to the USA, black America, and the world for that matter than Beyonce. And nobody is in complaining about her 88 million dollar home. Its kind of racist to me. As long as black people are shuffling and jiving its okay to be rich.

Au contraire. Trump has always been wealthy; he and his family earned it. Trump takes no salary/no income from the government, none.

A couple of books?

Michelle Obama's book Becoming was the #1 best selling and fastest selling book of 2018. It was the best seller within 15 days of release and sold 10 million copies.
She reportedly received a $65 million advance for a two book deal.

Are you suggesting that the Obama's didn't earn their money? He surely didn't squander the taxpayer dime like trump does - flying to one of his golf properties almost every week-end.

Please.

That said - this thread is about our carbon footprint. The number one way to reduce our carbon footprint is not be wealthy.

Ahhh, yeah they did. The constant cry to "REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT" and the "oceans are rising" mantra means exactly that. Obama doesn't believe in that, so the entire man made climate change HOAX is obviously a SCAM.

Just because you dislike Obama doesn't make climate change a scam.

It is true that wealthy people leave a much bigger carbon footprint than the average joe. We aren't flying around on private jets; own 10 cars, etc.

The homeless population on Martha's Vineyard as well as those inhabitants severely marginalized by income inequality
will never give them a moments peace .
I just hope the secret service will be able to keep them far enough away that they won't have to look at them.
