Who needs The Blaire House? They can rent out Hickory Hill!

[Clio the Leo]

So Ethel Kennedy, prominent Obama supporter who lives at Hyannais Port, Mass has been trying to sell Hickory Hill, the compound she shared with Bobby in Mclean, VA for years now. With no one willing to put down it's $12.5 million price tag, it sits empty.

It's not far from Sidwell Friends School.

Hmmmmmm........

Maybe 20 days worth of Obama magic rubbed off on the place would help find it a taker?



Just throwing it out there! lol

1. Looks like the Secret Service

could set up shop there...which is the only reason the Obama's asked about Blair house to begin with.

2. Yeah, the amount of acreage is HUGE.

And it's right down the street from Fred Thompson's house! :)

3. Obama should just set up speakers pointing in that direction

Playing a medley of Will.I.Am and Sign Sealed Delivered :evilgrin:

8. Me likey.

We don't need to stinking Blair House! Fuck Bush. This is way better.

I believe Jack and Jackie Kennedy lived their for a time before Ethel and Bobby moved in.

9. The Obamas should thumb their noses at the Bushes and take Hickory Hill.

It is quite a lovely house. I've always had a thing for Georgian houses, anyway. There is something stately about them.

10. Both will be bugged anyway

Hickory Hill, because it was a Kennedy house and close
to NSA and CIA listening posts.


Blair House, that's where foreign leaders stay.

14. Perfect! Then maybe we will finally have Barack on tape...

.... telling someone to go F themselves when asked to play outside of the rules. :)

11. I'd buy Hickory Hill in a heartbeat. Instead, I'll buy a lottery ticket.

You never know.

15. Dont do it, it's a regressive tax. NT

12. Kind of expensive to keep warm, for few days!

And not THAT close to Sidwell.

MY house CLOSER!

[Myrina]

13. Jeez that place is probably SO haunted ...

.... I dunno if I could stand the sadness that must echo through that big empty house ...

[rvablue]

16. This is a brilliant idea...they have a place to live for a couple of weeks and undoubtedly

it will sell in a heartbeat after having served as transition housing for the Obama family.

A win-win move. And sorry Bush, by denying Blair House, you aren't going to keep Obama out of Washington.

Good luck with those lame ass receptions you're having.....it's not going to change the history that you've destroyed this country!
