    Just as it's hypocritical for you to pretend to care.

    Good for them. They deserve it after all they took from ignorant morons over the years. They earned their money unlike the little trust fund brat in the White House now and it’s none of your business how they spend it. I wish them a long and happy life for decades to come.

    Which has nothing to go with the subject of the OP which you would obviously rather not discuss.

    It has everything to do with the OP. President Obama and his wife have purchased a nice piece of land and a beautiful summer home to enjoy and the haters are trying to put them down for it. There is really nothing to discuss here.

    Ocean front property as they tell us the ocean is rapidly rising and it's our fault and a mansion to heat and cool which also according to them will hasten sea level rise. Either not too smart or they don't believe their own rhetoric. I pick door number two. How bout you?

    If they were to buy a nice piece of ocean front land and tried to cram a bunch of ugly condos on it, maybe you’d have a point. Looks like the home built on this land is a nice addition to the landscape and will prevent some greedy developer from trashing it and creating an environmental impact. Looks to me like this house could be easily set up to be quite energy efficient and environmentally sound. Houses in this area are usually closed down from October to late May. Wind and solar power could easily be harnessed in this area to take advantage of the elements. I would bet that tree hugging liberals like the Obama’s will get right to work retrofitting their new estate with the latest in green technology.

    Apparently the sale hasn't even happened yet, if it even will.

    That doesn't stop the right wing wacko "press" from jumping off the deep end.

    Why would I answer a stupid question?

    The real facts are that the Obama's are fricking elitist hypocrites that preach climate change and sea level rising and then go buy beach front property and a mutli-million dollar mansion on many acres which has a HUGE carbon footprint.

    What a bunch of fricking hypocrites like all AGW alarmist.

    The home is already built. They could tear it down and build a small one, but that would be a waste of material. The property is not beach front, it's on a pond. They are also over 8 Feet above sea level.

    The sea level will not rise because that house was built. Also, that house will serve as a meeting place for hundreds of people when they are there. Your idiotic attempt at trying to make worthless political points because the Obama’s bought this nice estate is a complete failure. A couple who just made 50 million in book deals and signed a 70 million dollar contract with Netflix purchased a nice estate on prime land. If I had that kind of money, I would probably buy a couple nice estates too. Who wouldn’t?

    Buying a house that is already built is going to cause the sea level to rise is it? Yikes...no wonder you get so upset over all this...you have zero understanding about how it all works.

    So you think buying the home is going to suddenly cause the sea to rise?

    If current or future owners of these homes were serious about mitigating climate change by reducing CO2 levels, the prudent thing would be to remodel the structures into smaller units so the same amount of resources support more people. In a word, efficiency. To people who actually care about the environment and are willing to personally do something about it, this isn’t complicated.

    In my opinion, it’s hypocritical to lecture those less fortunate or those who choose a more sustainable lifestyle while making no effort to do so personally. Especially for people with great economic resources and the resulting flexibility to do the most good. With actions, not words.

    Am I advocating for the Obama’s to do this? Nope. I’m happy they found a place they like. But it does literally destroy any credibility if they advocate for others to make lifestyle choices to slow or reverse climate change in the future.

    How do you know they won't do this?

    Also, have the Obama's ever stated people shouldn't live in big homes?
