Description: Barack and Michelle Obama are proving with the purchase of a $15 million home on Martha’s Vineyard that they know Global Warming is a hoax. Do you want to know the very last thing a true believer in Global Warming would ever do…? Move to an island and invest $15 million in a home with a — no joke — ocean view. But… According to various news reports, Barry and Michelle are doing exactly that, and I do mean exactly that… Here’s a photo of the estate, all 7,000 square feet of the mansion and the surrounding property… You see all that blue stuff off to the right…? That’s the Atlantic Ocean, y’all…
Now, some might see an awful lot of hypocrisy in a Global Warming believer like Obama purchasing a massive estate that will create an equally massive carbon footprint. Fair enough. But that only proves Barry’s a hypocrite, not that he’s a Global Warming Denier. Investing some $15 million to live on an island home that sits right on the Atlantic Ocean…? You want to know what this is… That is not just the actions of a hypocrite; what we have here is a full-blown Global Warming Denier, a Climate Denier, someone who is so sure the sea levels will never rise, he’s backing up that certainty with $15 million. Hey, who said this…?
No nation, however large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape the impact of climate change. Rising sea levels threaten every coastline. More powerful storms and floods threaten every continent.
Barry said that about ten years before he spent $15 million for a home on … the coastline. Hey, who said this…?
The science is beyond dispute and the facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking.
Barry said that about ten years before he spent $15 million for a home on … the coastline. Hey, who said this…?
We’ll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods.
Barry said that about seven years before he spent $15 million for a home on … the ocean. The Obamas are literally investing $15 million in the fact that Global Warming is a hoax. What’s more, he is only 58 years old. He’s got at least another 25 to 30 years. Regardless of his age, if Global Warming were real, this would be a terrible investment under any circumstance. As this dumb 12-year deadline counts down, it should be property along the coastlines that lose the most value, while inland property rates skyrocket due to overcrowding by leftists fleeing to safety… right? But leftists are not leaving the coast, and the value of coastline property continues to rise. If you want to know what people truly believe, don’t listen to what they say they believe… No, you have to watch what they actually do… And the very same people who are bullying us to give up our cars and beef and grills — because if we don’t, the oceans will rise and destroy the coasts!! — are the very same people living on … the coast. Maybe they would rather drown, rather lose everything than live among us deplorables, but there are plenty of blue cities in flyover country… Why don’t these bigots move there? Because they know it’s all bullshit. And Obama knows it’s bullshit. And the media surely know it’s bullshit because the media are doing the exact same thing Obama’s doing… While far-left CNN dehumanizes anyone who doesn’t believe in Global Warming, the fake news network is moving its primary base of operations from inland Atlanta to right on — again, no joke — the water in Manhattan, the very same Manhattan the media said would be underwater already. If Barry and Michelle Obama don’t believe in Global Warming, why should I? Why should anyone?

Description: The Obamas are owners of an $11.75 million waterfront mansion in Martha’s Vineyard, officially purchasing the Edgartown Estate this week.
Rumblings of the Obamas multimillion-dollar purchase surfaced in August, but they officially closed the deal this week, joining the elite Martha’s Vineyard community in a nearly 7,000 square foot home that sits on roughly 29 acres, facing the Edgartown Great Pond. The Dukes County Registry of Deeds recorded the $11.75 million price on Wednesday afternoon, per the Vineyard Gazette. The compound was originally listed for sale in 2015 for $22.5 million and dropped to $14.85 million in July 2019. The listing details the property’s “long and winding driveway, sprawling lawn and incredible water views†and notes that the main residence is “finished with the finest details,†including “multiple seating and entertaining spaces, a modern Chef’s kitchen, and a formal circular dining room surrounded by a wall of windows overlooking the grounds.†It is also equipped with a jacuzzi located off the second-floor balcony. “There are two guest wings and an impressive master suite with fireplace, private sun deck and spectacular water views,†the listing boasts. “Your summer days can be spent poolside in a garden-like setting with the sounds of the waves lapping in the distance, or exploring the expansive Great Pond and outer barrier beach for a full day on the water,†it adds. “The buyer is a nominee trust representing the former First Family. The sellers are Wycliffe Grousbeck and Corinne Basler Grousbeck. Mr. Grousbeck is a private equity investor and owner of the Boston Celtics basketball team,†the Gazette reported. Additionally, the waterfront home reportedly features “seven bedrooms, eight and a half baths, and several stone fireplaces,†along with a “detached barn and a pool.†As the Gazette notes, the Obamas have long admired the island, visiting it prior to Barack Obama’s presidency and spending time in the area during his tenure in office. They reportedly rented the Martha’s Vineyard property last summer. The purchase comes in addition to the $8.1 million home the Obamas purchased in 2017 in Washington, DC’s Kalorama neighborhood. They also own a 6,243-square-foot home in Chicago’s South Side Kenwood neighborhood. Their latest purchase, however, has called into question the validity of their climate change concerns, as the Edgartown Estate is, in fact, a waterfront property. As Breitbart News’s John Nolte observed in August:
Regardless of his age, if Global Warming were real, this would be a terrible investment under any circumstance. As this dumb 12-year deadline counts down, it should be property along the coastlines that lose the most value, while inland property rates skyrocket due to overcrowding by leftists fleeing to safety… right? But leftists are not leaving the coast, and the value of coastline property continues to rise. If you want to know what people truly believe, don’t listen to what they say they believe… No, you have to watch what they actually do… And the very same people who are bullying us to give up our cars and beef and grills — because if we don’t, the oceans will rise and destroy the coasts!! — are the very same people living on … the coast.
The purchase follows Michelle Obama lamenting “white flight†during an appearance at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago in October:
But unbeknownst to us, we grew up in the period — as I write — called ‘white flight.’ That as families like ours, upstanding families like ours … As we moved in, white folks moved out because they were afraid of what our families represented.
Martha’s Vineyard is just short of 95 percent white. It has less than a two percent black population.
