Obama at Rest

[Geee]

National Review:

 

It’s good to be the king . . . of class-warfare hypocrisy. While he lectures his political opponents about their neglect of middle-class America, President Obama is headed to Martha’s Vineyard. Again. Because nothing spells “populist” like a $7.6 million, 9.5-acre estate owned by one of Chicago’s wealthiest corporate financiers.

The sprawling summer manse of David Schulte is actually a downgrade from the Obama family’s previous summer digs. The $21 million, 28.5-acre Blue Heron Farm that had hosted Obama and his massive entourage since 2009 isn’t available for rental anymore because a British mogul snapped it up.

But don’t be bumming. The Obamas won’t be slumming. Schulte’s Chilmark, Mass., complex boasts pond and ocean views, an infinity pool, and a basketball court (natch!). Cell towers were installed around Schulte’s home to boost phone service. The Vineyard Gazette reports that the Secret Service has 70 rooms booked nearby.
