Oh no you don't

This beggars the imagination. From The Washington Post:
Obama may be a rare ex-president who stays in Washington
Throughout his time in office, President Obama has opened many outside-the-Beltway speeches with a suggestion that he, too, feels like an outsider in the nation�s baffling, frustrating capital city. He shouts to the audience about how good it is to be wherever he is that day � Cleveland, Miami, San Francisco. Then he takes pokes at the town where great success in his chosen profession has brought him.

�It is good to be out of Washington,� he often says � a line that, in good times and in bad, always generates warm, sympathetic applause.

Changing Washington may not have come off as Obama promised. But for the president and his supporters, the city has been an object of contempt they can believe in.

Now, though, Obama has raised the possibility that he might remain a resident of the capital after his lease on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. expires in January 2017.

In an interview this week with Barbara Walters of ABC News, Obama and the first lady, Michelle, said they may live in Washington beyond their time in the White House to allow their younger daughter, Sasha, to graduate from Sidwell Friends School.

Sasha would be a high school sophomore at the end of the president�s second term, giving the family a couple years to enjoy, or endure, Washington as private citizens.
Sasha can keep in touch with her friends through social media -- her friends know that she is the daughter of a president whose term of office expires in 2017. Nothing new there. Why doesn't Barry want to move to his new $35 million Beachfront Hawaiian Estate? More here, here, here and here. With such nice digs waiting for him, it makes me wonder what Barry (or rather, his handlers) has up his sleeve...
