President Barack Obama
is trading in the White House for a nine-bedroom mansion tucked away in a wealthy Wash- ington neighborhood.
The Obamas will move into an 8,200-square-foot (790sqm), red-brick home about two miles (3.2km) from his current address after he leaves office in January.
The Obama family still own a home in Chicago, however, the President has said he would remain in Washington until his 14-year-old daughter, Sasha, graduates from the Sidwell Friends School in 2018.
The Obama's new home, which is valued around $6m, is near Embassy Row in the Kalo-

rama section of the district. But the neighborhood is hardly star struck, as secret service remains a fixture among the tree-lined Kalorama streets. The President will count
French ambassador Gerard Araud, the embassy of Oman and the European Union am- bassador to the U. S. as his new neighbors.
Bart Gordon, a former Democratic congressman from Tennessee, also lives next door to the soon-to-be Obama resi- dence.
President Obama will rent the home, which is unoccupied, from Joe Lockhart, a former press secretary and senior ad- viser to Bill Clinton.
Mr. Lockhart and his wife, Giovanna Gray Lockhart, moved to New York City after he became the vice president of communications for the Na- tional Football League.
Media Tainted Reports: President Obama DID NOT Apologize For Acts Of War In Japan
On Friday, May 27, 2016, President Obama became the first sitting president to visit Hiroshima, Japan since the end of World War II. While some media outlets painted the historic visit as another stop on President Obama's "apology tour," the President did not apologize.
Still, social media users were outraged at the President's supposed apology:
On Thursday, May 26th, the New York Post published an ar- ticle criticizing the President for his "shameful" apology tour. While the author assumed that President Obama would apologize (despite the White House saying that an apology would not be forthcoming), the article came out a day before President Obama's speech and therefore did not serve as evidence.A quote from the arti- cle read:
An American president’s highest moral, constitutional and political duty is protecting his fellow citizens from foreign threats. Presidents should ad- here to our values and the Con- stitution, and not treat America’s enemies as morally equivalent to us.
If they do, they need not apol- ogize to anyone.
The White House says that
President Obama is the first sitting president to visit Hi- roshima, Japan since the end of WWII.
President Obama won’t apologize as he visits Hi- roshima Friday. But who be- lieves his press flacks?
The President did make an apology while he was in Japan, but it wasn't for the atomic bomb. On Thursday, the Pres- ident offered his "deepest re- grets" for the death of a Japanese woman who report- edly had been murdered by a former U. S. Marine:
"The U. S. will continue to co- operate fully" and will continue to ensure "justice is done under the Japanese legal system,"
President Obama said. While critics of President Obama preemptively con- demned him for apologizing for the United States' 1945 actions (which collectively killed more than 100,000 people), and while the President did apolo- gize for an unrelated incident, he did not actually offer an apology during his speech. The President did offer condo- lences for the loss of those who died at Hiroshima and Na- gasaki, but nowhere in the full text of his remarks did he offer an apology. President
Obama said:
‘’Seventy-one years ago, on a
bright cloudless morning, death fell from the sky and the world was changed. A flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a city and demonstrated that mankind possessed the means to destroy itself.
Why do we come to this place, to Hiroshima? We come to pon- der a terrible force unleashed in a not-so-distant past. We come to mourn the dead, including over 100,000 Japanese men, women and children, thou- sands of Koreans, a dozen Americans held prisoner.
Their souls speak to us. They ask us to look inward, to take stock of who we are and what we might become.’’
