Obamas make remarkable commitment in fight against climate change & wealth inequality: Concerned couple buys ANOTHER massive mega-mansion!

In their tireless fight against climate change and wealth inequality, Barack and Michelle Obama reportedly are set to purchase a stupendous beachfront mega-mansion in Martha's Vineyard, presumably as a much-needed summer retreat to supplement the $8.9 million mega-mansion they already own in one of the most exclusive areas of the nation's capitol. Situated on 29 beachfront acres and listed at $14,850,000, the ultra-luxurious Martha's Vineyard estate comes equipped with a long and enviable list of high-end amenities demanded by the rich and famous.

A deeply principled opponent of wealth inequality and fossil fuels, the former president has loudly criticized rich people for the huge, carbon-gluttonous houses they buy. On April 25, 2010, the man who has become fabulously wealthy scolded Wall Street CEOs with this admonition: "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." His views about the sin of making too much money haven't changed. During a speech in South Africa last year, this shining example of environmental stewardship and unparalleled concern for the poor spoke passionately about the unfairness of some people having more money than others in blasting rich people for their excessively lavish lifestyles: "There's only so much you can eat; there's only so big a house you can have; there's only so many nice trips you can take. I mean, it's enough." That direct quote came from the lips of a man who, along with his wife, is sitting atop a staggering $135 million fortune. But don't feel sorry for them, because there's much more to come: with money barreling their way like a runaway freight train, the concerned couple is rapidly becoming a billion-dollar brand.

Sharing with the less fortunate: During the five years from 2000-2004, a period when they earned $1.2 million, Barack and Michelle Obama donated less than one percent of their income to charity, ten times less than the tithing guidelines of their professed Christian faith. Only when Obama decided to run for president did the couple's charitable instincts improve. Protecting the planet: During his first full day in the White House, President Obama was photographed without his suit jacket. Senior advisor David Axelrod explained: "He's from Hawaii, okay? He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there." On the campaign trail Obama vowed to exhibit environmental leadership if elected: "We can't drive our SUV's and eat as much as we want and keep our thermostats set at 72 degrees. That's no leadership. That's not going to happen."

In decreeing earth's ever-changing climate an imminent threat to our very survival, the noble man who has utter contempt for wealth inequality and fossil fuels says people who live in big houses and take nice trips are doing grievous harm to the planet. You can see more in the article below about how this selfless paragon of environmental virtue is providing unparalleled leadership to us all by cutting his own carbon footprint to the bone. Climate hysteria would disappear in the blink of an eye if the self-righteous rich people who push it the loudest were required by law to give up private jets and living in lavish mega-mansions. -JE
