    Apparently the Obama's who believe in man made global warming and scary predictions of sea level rise don't really believe that after all and their purchase of 29 beachfront acres proves they know it's about politics not science.

    "Outside the main house, there's 29 beachfront acres, a pool, chef's kitchen, outdoor fireplace, and two guest wings."

    They got very rich since he left office and they are buying ad mansion on an island that is going to be ravaged by rising tides as s much of the Mass. mainland shoreline as ocean levels continue to rise.Some homes both on the island and on the mainland are already being denied homeowners insurance due to storm surge threats.A huge problem is salt water contamination of underground fresh water aquafers as tides rise.

    Trump has literally made backroom deals with foreign officials to give them political favors in exchange for them staying in his hotels while in washington.

    There goes the neighborhood.


    Sure would like to see the Obama's tax returns.

    From the hood on the southside of Chicago to public housing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to the Hampton's in less than 12 years.

    Only in America.

    No he made quite a large amount while President: https://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-michelle-obama-net-worth-2018-7

    Can you provide some links to these deals he has made? Or evidence of them?

    Apparently the Obama's don't actually believe that prediction and laugh at those who do as they lounge on their own private beach.

    They offer access to the President for any diplomat, lobbyist, and political insiders who stay in the hotels. Trump spokesmen have went back and fourth defending it, some claiming it's all lies, while others admit that it's true, but that it was hotel management making empty promises to draw more elite patrons.

    But the fact is that numerous dimplomats who stayed there have then seen policy changes which effect their countries positively. For example, a diplomat from Yemen stayed there and a few weeks later Yemen was dropped from Trump's travel ban.

    Obama buys a property in Martha's Vineyard. Trump creates an international incident because he can't buy Greenland.

    Guess whose real estate decision scandalizes the right.

    The global warming will end the world in 8 years.

    Why would he set back the environmental movement by doing this?

    Could he be in it only for himself?

    Nice attempt at deflection.

    How much of Obama's 29 beachfront acres are 70 feet above sea level?

    I don’t see where there any promise of access. Obviously diplomats always had access to a president...that’s their jobs.

    What diplomats have stayed there and what policy changes?

    That hotel sounds really nice though. Not surprised every one of the trump properties I’ve bewn to has been nice.

    If the president is directly profiting on foreign diplomats staying at his hotels, on the promise of favors in exchange for their stays, then that is a emoloments violation, and as I said, I number of policy changes have followed certain diplomats stayng at Trump hotels.

    Is that what you're saying?

    Notice the lack of proving where the monies were earned or came from.

    Just a bunch of anti-Obama crying again, while Trump is making millions for his businesses every month from the government.

    Obama couldn't have done it without the Mulatto Mafia and affirmative action.

    That's what you're saying?

    Because he bought a house, climate change must be a hoax?

    Oh brother.

    Looks like we have another Trump supporting racist.

    No surprise.

    Well, the good news is, Obama and his family laughs at you and your racist jealousy. Life no good in your trailer park?
