The 6,892-square-foot property sits on 29 acres across from the Edgartown Great Pond. Built in 2001, it boasts seven bedrooms and nine baths and a bathhouse. There are two wings with a private deck off the master suite. It also features a pool, sprawling lawn and a beach, among many other amenities.
Thomas E. Leclair with LandVest MV is the current listing agent.
The Obamas apparently rented the home over the summer and are purchasing it from Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, according to the report.
Former first couple Barack and Michelle Obama are buying a mansion in Edgartown, Mass. for $14.8 million, reports Realtor.com.
Martha’s Vineyard has been a longtime favorite vacation spot for the former president and first lady, and now the Obamas will have a permanent home there.

The bright side is maybe they will move away from the house only a few blocks from the White House. Apparently the last two years of trying to impeach Trump, they've finnaly given up.

So, all that global warming and rising seas thingy was just another con job, right? Why would you buy expensive coastal property if you really believe that crap? /rhetorical question

But, as Moochelle pointed out, your slice of the pie is already big enough, or maybe even too big...

I read another article where it said that Wyc (Celtics owner) sold the property to the Obamas at a discount. A bit late on the poorly disguised in-kind campaign contribution.

....This is clearly Fake News and unpossible. Obama and his buddies have warned us for years that we are just around the corner from a climate disaster, which specifically includes rising sea levels. According to them, that place is going to be underwater in a couple of years - how could someone as brilliant as the Lightbringer make a mistake like that?
sarc/OFF, of course.

Sounds like a good place to drop off all the illegal aliens and cartel we regularly arrest along the mexican border. Oh and allow them to keep their Obama supplied weapons.
I'm sure the estate doesn't have anything as devisive as walls or locks on the doors.

When the DOJ finally gets around to investigating Google for its many abuses of our competition laws - let alone its manipulation of our public debate and its interventions into the information dissemination that's part of our electoral process - this corrupt buffoon's revolving door with Google execs will be Exhibit A.
No one's been paying attention, but this coziness between Silicon Valley and Obama - and the payoffs now accruing to his bank account from the likes of Netflix - is the worst DC corruption scam since Teapot Dome.
Only corruption can explain the unconscionable, baffling refusal of our competition authorities to investigate and crack down on the many flagrant abuses of its market power that this company has engaged in, for more than a decade, as a standard operating procedure.
The Europeans fined them again and again for their serial abuses. They're in plain sight, known to everyone in the ad industry. And yet NOTHING has been done - NOTHING - by our Justice Department.

@varmint - unlikely, they won't tolerate the weather and isolation in a MV February. Besides, the last net worth I saw was 135 million. The DC house is just another investment.
Ugh. But that does mean there will be less competition for my descendants.
[BREITBART] Women are increasingly opting out of heterosexuality because it is "the bedrock of their global oppression," NBC News asserted in a bizarre opinion piece this week.
"Men need heterosexuality to maintain their societal dominance over women," writes Marcie Bianco for the NBC News website. "Women, on the other hand, are increasingly realizing not only that they don’t need heterosexuality, but that it also is often the bedrock of their global oppression."
Ms. Bianco lumps together a series of recent news stories, "from Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein ...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whoressex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened... to the Dayton and El Paso mass shooters, to Miley Cyrus’s separation and Julianne Hough’s declaration that she’s ’not straight,’" which, she says, "together have laid bare the strictures of an American patriarchy on the edge of a nervous breakdown."
"As the status quo, heterosexuality is just not working," she concludes, before explaining just how evil men are and how women are learning to live without them.
"As a snapshot of 2019 America, these stories present a startling picture: Men continue to coerce, harass, rape and kill girls and women ‐ and go to extreme lengths to avoid responsibility for their actions," she states. "On the other side of the issue, girls and women are challenging heterosexuality, and even absconding from it altogether."
"Patriarchy is at its most potent when oppression doesn’t feel like oppression, or when it is packaged in terms of biology, religion, or basic social needs like security comfort, acceptance and success," Ms. Bianco declares.
"Heterosexuality offers women all these things as selling points to their consensual subjection," she concludes, in a painful piece of contorted logic that reveals far more about the writer than it does about society and its institutions.
"Historically, women have been conditioned to believe that heterosexuality is natural or innate, just as they have been conditioned to believe that their main purpose is to make babies ‐ and if they fail to do so, they are condemned as not ’real,’ or as bad, women," she pronounces.

There are books and movies about a world without children. Only female humans can produce the next generation so maybe Ms. Bianco should think about human extinction in one (1) generation if her wishes are fulfilled.
[Red State] Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been oddly mute the past few weeks. This comes on the heels of her Chief of Staff being pushed aside to do other work for the Justice Democrats group (which kind of suggests that AOC was illegally coordinating with them, doesn’t it?). Nancy might have pulled aside and said, 'get rid of that crazy SOB!'
While Saikat Chakrabarti was running the show, AOC was on social media daily to rant and rave about whatever seemingly came to mind. From pushing disasterous policies, to lying about conditions on the border, you could always count on her chiming in on nearly every issue.

He left to get more of the AOC mold into congress. He is the guy to watch and whatever district he has moved to, we need to focus on. His plan is good, get three elected, one might survive the next elect. Move on after a year and get three more elected. This process seems to work and is like cancer.

[BREITBART] On Thursday’s "All In" on MSNBC, Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... (I-VT) outright admitted to host Chris Hayes a federal government takeover of energy production would be required by his plan to combat climate change.
Hayes raised the possibility of an extension of some form of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Sanders responded by saying it would require government-manufactured electricity "from solar and from wind and from other sustainable energies."

"Nationalization" is a political gang's way of stealing Exxon-Mobil. And the Dim party is a huge US criminal organization. So, when is Hillary going to jail???
I can’t remember if the gentleman is gay or straght, but in either case he has surely heard of c0nd0ms.
[BREITBART] Mayor Pete Buttigieg ...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country... warned Americans in Maine Thursday of a spike in unplanned pregnancies under President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s administration.
Buttigieg criticized Trump’s new restrictions on federal Title X funding, prompting Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party... to withdraw from the program entirely.
"These people who are attacking Planned Parenthood, I wonder if they’ve thought about how much unplanned parenthood they’re going to create if we let them," he said at an event for supporters in Maine. The party of eugenics: "All those black people being born...ICK!"
Planned Parenthood still receives more than $500 million in taxpayer funding annually, despite Trump’s restrictions on Title X funding.
Buttigieg, who described himself as a "feminist," urged other men to join him by defending a woman’s unrestricted right to child sacrifice abortion.
[DESERET] Former Illinois Republican Rep. Joe Walsh said Thursday that he is mulling over a 2020 presidential run, saying he is "strongly, strongly considering" in an interview with CNN. NOT the great guitarist from the Eagles
Walsh would run as a Republican primary challenger to Trump.
"I’m strongly, strongly considering it. That’s ‐ again, I’m not trying to be cute or coy. I’ve told you before ‐ if somebody’s going to get in there and go after him ... it’s got to be done soon," Walsh said on CNN. "You’re running out of time. But more importantly, these are not conventional times. Look at the guy in the White House. These are urgent times."

Romney is DOA. However, there are still classical and old FDR liberals who would be far more interested in the RINO if the Donks fielded a neo-commie. Trump has the fortitude to so label the commies as commies than any other president. It will be interesting.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
