Neighbors Angry About The New Addition To President Obama’s Mansion

Former President Obama is reportedly building a wall around his new Washington, D.C. mansion to protect himself and his family.

Since leaving office, Obama and the former First family moved into a $5.3 million mansion in the nation’s capitol, where they will stay while daughter Sasha finishes school. In their newly-renovated home, the Obama family reportedly added a wall around the property to protect them.

This development came after Obama signed a bill in 2013 that renewed the law that gave presidents Secret Service protection for life, which would effectively protect himself as well his fellow living presidents Bush and Clinton.

The story quickly went viral, with many pointing out the hypocrisy in Obama’s wall construction considering the outrage surrounding President Trump’s Mexican border wall proposal.

“It is ironic that Mr. Obama wanted to build a security fence around his new residence but wanted an open border without security for the country when he was in office. Does this show that he cares only about his own security and not about America’s security?” one Newsiosity reader commented.

“This is bull sh–. They don’t need that much protection at the cost of taxpayers. How much are we suppose to pay when we can’t even afford insurance and some can’t afford to put food on the table. When is it going to stop?” another added.

Some readers felt as though Obama was being too cautious considering how he constantly spoke of lower crime rates and a safer America in general during his two terms in office.

“His actions are questionable. he is building a fortress for what. he said America was safer , crime was down etc. yet he needs a security fence etc. Plus lifetime guards. what is he planning to do.?? His daughter will be graduasting soon. so why all the gates walls etc. especially when he would not secure Our border. but wants his property secured,” one reader commented.
