Looks like former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are putting down deeper roots in Washington: After renting a Kalorama home for their post-White House stint, the couple have purchased the eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bath home for $8.1 million, according to property records.
The Obamas have said they plan to remain in D.C. while their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school at Sidwell Friends. After leaving the executive mansion in January, the family settled into a rental home owned by Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart and his wife, Giovanna Gray Lockhart, an 8,200-square-foot home that was built in 1921 and renovated in 2011.
The Obamas still own a Georgian-style home in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, the city that will house the Obama presidential library.
Spokesman Kevin Lewis, in a statement, said the purchase just made sense for the family: “Given that President and Mrs. Obama will be in Washington for at least another two and a half years, it made sense for them to buy a home rather than continuing to rent property.”

He's finally ready to go full speed with his Deep State shadow government to further frustrate Dump. 
He could have taken up President Obama on his Inauguration Day offer to be there if needed.
On the way through the Capitol to Marine One, I clearly heard President Obama tell The Orange Man "Well, like I said, I'm right around the corner." 
I don't think he has to worry about any late night calls or visits from ole Trump at this point. Who knew it would take an entire 4 months?
It's awesome living in the same city as such an amazing family.
