Are the Obama’s Purchasing a Plush $4.25M Home In California?

According to unconfirmed reports, President Obama and First Lady Michelle are in the process of buying a home in the Californian Desert area of Thunderbird Heights, resting in the Rancho Mirage community.
The house was originally listed in 2006 for $9.5 million but has since been reduced six times to its current asking price of $4.25 million, according to the listing website Realtor.com.
Although this report is making its rounds around the Internet, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said that the rumors were just not true.
If the deal goes through, the Obama’s could be the new owners of the beautiful property, which was constructed in 1993 and boasts its own two-story waterfall and golf putting green, by the end of the month.
The house, which rests on a hilltop near Palm Springs, where Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby called their homes, features other luxurious items such as its own gym, tanning salon and private spa; four bedrooms; four and a half bathrooms; and a smaller house which is comprised of three bedrooms, each with their own bath, according to the realtor’s listing.
Other features of the property include stunning panoramic views of the surrounding area, a private rock-formed lagoon, two spas, elevators and a misting system that will help the Obama’s handle the desert heat, should they decide to purchase.
If the rumors are true, Pres. Obama will not be the first U.S. President to reside in the area known as the “playground of Presidents” because former President Gerald R. Ford did exactly that when he left the White House.
The Obama’s will also have a friend who can help them with their re-decorating if they move in because interior designer Michael Smith, who has done work on the White House, will be their neighbor.
President Obama also teed off on a private golf course on the Porcupine Creek Estate in Rancho Mirage in February of this year, which is owned by Larry Ellison, billionaire co-founder of Oracle. Ellison, who was listed by Forbes as being the 3rd wealthiest man in America and fifth in the world with assets of over $52 billion, bought the 249 acre golf course in 2011 for $42.9 million.
The 8,232-square-foot estate with 3.29 private acres, which the Obama’s stayed near for Father’s Day, would make a lovely retreat for them to relax and forget about political life when they leave the White House after the next election in 2016, if the rumors are true.

This is a lovely home. Why have they chosen California? Do they still have their home in Illinois?

We were just talking about this yesterday and I told someone I bet he would move to California. Why would anybody in their right mind return to Chicago, 40 people shot over one weekend. He worked hard and They deserve it and I hope it is true. He should sell or rent the house in Chicago, never to return. The guess house could be for his Mom.

I am so happy for that family. I wish them all the Best of Everything in Life.
All of the disrespect from all of the people that disrespected them and I think what is happening is that their Good Karma is rewarding them.
I love our First Family.

ONCE AGAIN…we see a black man DUPING himself in an all-white community. Why do blacks with $$$ REFUSE to live among their own people?! And why must the white race always be the race in which they dump themselves on?! Go live among your OWN people for christ’s sake!GEEZ ALMIGHTY, what a race…

Oh Mo, that is such a dumb-a__ statement. It sounds like you’re hatin. Why would anybody in their right mind want to live in a place where murders are committed on a regular basis? Would you Mo? If you do, or would live in such a deadly environment, I think you are dumber than dumb! Go raise your family there..No, better still, take your family to an area where they will be safe, increase your life insurance, if you’re insurable and take your dumb a%# in that kill or be killed environment. Your stuck in the hood attitude is downright idiotic…HATER!

So why are so many people and businesses leaving?
I’ve lived in Downey (LA), San Mateo and Fremont, (the bay)
However if I had all the $$ our President is ripping off from the people
I might move back.

Black people like obama love to claim they love black people but cant wait to move away from them asap. I agree with the dumb redneck . Stay with your own. As Malcolm described so eloquently ” black people love to brag about being the only one in their neighborhood. ” obama is no different then any other house negro. Those people in chicago who helped him get to the white house., he abandoned wholesale. Worked hard and sold out are two very different things. Sold out he is
