Welcome to Massachusetts, Mr. President!

I am delighted that the Obama's are considering calling Massachusetts their new home.

1. It's a vacation home.

2. Wow - that's a gorgeous place.

3. Obama has become one of the moneyed elite. Sad.

4. Oh, NO - you are wrong!

HE has earned every penny of it - and earned it the hard way!

5. I don't begrudge him one penny of his wealth...

he worked for it and so did she. As the First Family, they brought dignity and humanity to the White House; they took a lot of personal shit and I wish them peace and privacy.

6. x 1,000

To call them "elites" is horrible.

10. Money is NOT the root of all evil

but the LOVE of money is.

Money has been and will continue to be used for good by the right people. The Obama’s are the right people and it’s sad that there aren’t many more just like them.

11. He earned the money honestly. Don't begrudge him the pleasures that brings.

12. So did Jeff Bezos and Tom Brady,to name a couple.

14 million dollars for a summer home is a bit of a stretch and certainly makes anyone who can afford that a member of the moneyed elite.

[Vinca]

13. Well, if I ever win the lottery I hope to become one of the moneyed elite in my Vineyard cottage.

14. You make a good point.

But the Obamas may have rented the place for many of their visits and have become attached to it.

I hope that you one day become super-wealthy. It truly would be interesting to see whether you change, the vast majority of people do.

8. May they and their family enjoy every day they spend in their new home.

They'll be bringing a special ray of sunshine to Massachusetts.
