Obamas Might Stay in Washington After Presidency
President Obama told ABC News that he and his family might stay in Washington, D.C. after his second term is over because youngest daughter Sasha will still be in high school as a sophomore.
Said Obama: "So we've gotta--you know we gotta make sure that she's doin' well... until she goes off to college. Sasha will have a big say in where we are."
"If the Obamas do stay in Washington and maintain a residence in the city, President Obama would be the first president to do so since Woodrow Wilson."

That's great.
Remember Jan. 2009 when some entity or persons wouldn't let them move to the Blair? House early to start the girls in school on schedule?

I want a progressive/liberal defending my Constitution.

(23,664 posts)I'm concerned that he doesn't seem particularly fanatical about applying it in some situations. Like why isn't Dick Cheney in jail? Why are Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase still in business?

(11,175 posts)I dip into the RW websites now and then. Even before the 2012 election some of those nutjobs were saying that, if Obama won, it would be the last presidential election ever, because he would upend the Constitution and become dictator for life.
The "moderates" were saying that he'd find a way to run for a third term.

Where will the Obamas find a house? Not far from Sidwell Friends, I would suppose.
