America is finally done with President Obama’s reign on terror on the country. While Donald Trump is officially our 45th president, the public was abuzz at what they saw as Obama was quietly vacating the White House.
Did anyone notice Obama’s boxes? We did.
While soon-to-be former President Barack Obama packs up and leaves the White House, he’s transitioning into Kalorama, an upscale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
Liberal presidents, such as former President Bill Clinton, have a history of stealing items from the White House as they exit.
But look what was pictured just outside his family’s new house. Did anyone look in these boxes labeled “fine art?”

Perhaps Obama learned from the Clintons, who left with almost $200,000 worth of items which should have remained at the White House, some of which they were forced to return after being publicly humiliated:
Former President Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, have sent $28,000 worth of household goods back to Washington after questions arose over whether the items were intended as personal gifts or donations to the White House.
“We have been informed that it is being shipped back, and the National Park Service is ready to receive it, take possession of it and take custody of it,” Jim McDaniel, the National Park Service’s liaison to the White House, said Wednesday.
“The property is being returned to government custody until such time that the issues can be resolved. It may well turn out that that property is rightly the personal property of the Clintons.”
…
After they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left, the Clintons announced last week that they would pay for $86,000 worth of gifts, or nearly half the amount.
Their latest decision to send back $28,000 in gifts brings to $114,000 the value of items the Clintons have either decided to pay for or return.
The truck spotted outside Obama’s house was for Cadogan Tate, which specializes in the moving of fine art. They have offices in New York and Los Angeles. As their website notes, “Cadogan Tate moves and stores personal possessions, commercial assets, valuable works of art and priceless furnishings for individuals, companies, auction houses, galleries, collectors and interior designers the world over.”
This moving will likely continue while Obama is in Palms Springs, California for his first post-Presidency round of golf.

Does anyone else wonder how much of our taxes was used to purchase this fine art?
I’m sure they stole everything they could get away with and some things that haven’t been noticed yet. It’s in their blood and also their political party. Nothing but criminals and thieves but I guarantee their followers aren’t going to see it that way because they’re just as damaged!
Just glad to see them the hell out of the White House.
all what kind of fine art has been removedfrom the White House by the Obama’s. This disease seems to be catching the Clintons also removed fine art objects from the White House and were forced to return. Any gift that the president of first lady receives is not their property it is the property of the United States government now maybe we should see with your mom is removed from the White House+.
I think the White House should inventory the entire residence and check surveillance footage and see if anything is missing that shouldn’t be. You can take the gangster out of Chicago, but…
Where is the “story”? No proof of anything done wrong- just a smear attempt. That’s a LIE about the Clintons, also. Just go to Snopes.
Here’s the deal: People and organizations donate, give and loan to the White House and First Families lots of furniture and gifts. These items technically become gov’t property (if gifts to the president and first lady, but it depends on whether its a foreign country, etc) until its move out day.
When a new president moves in, they get rid of most of the furniture and decorations (at least the replaceable stuff) and redecorate the whole place all over. They then bring in their own stuff, along with new donations, loan, & gift furnishings.
Any furniture and artwork that the gov’t doesn’t want gets given to the First Family or donated to museums, etc., if they don’t want it.
That’s what the Clinton “Furniture Gate” non-scandal arose from- a mix-up over what was supposed to go who, etc. They weren’t trying to steal anything- and it wasn’t $200,000 worth. Huge lie.
I hope they took the portrait of KILLARY!
I wonder where a couple of failed lawyers got all of the money for that fine art and fine house?

Obama is so hell bent on sticking it to the United States (like a little undisciplined child) that he might have ordered these Fine Art Handlers to move all the toilet paper he and his family could scrounge together. The idea being the laugh he and the wife will have tonight on us, one last U.S. financed vacation. And the dumb ass Americans paid thousands of dollars to move their own toilet paper with an insured art mover to our newly leased property paid for those same dumb asses paid for by some deep account he made before leaving office. Hidden under the account Top Secret. Those dumb ass naive Americans.
On the Hillary Clinton side of the issue, when the Clinton’s left office, Hillary claims they were broke and had no money. Then as Secretary of State, the corrupt and unlawfulness came out and she and Bill Clinton formed the non-profit, Clinton Foundation. It was said the Clinton Foundation was unlawful.
The money that went into the Clinton Foundation was called PAY-TO-PLAY. Hillary Clinton went to foreign and terrorist countries and met with their leaders. The leaders were persuaded, or thought to be intimidated, to contribute $$ millions into the Clinton Foundation and, in return, these countries would be permitted a face-to-face meeting with the president of the United States.
After the money was deposited into the Clinton Foundation “money drawer”, a meeting was set up with the president. It is said the leaders of foreign countries expected the POTUS would make their Clinton Foundation donations worth their while.
At this time there is no physical evidence showing what Barack Obama got out of the Pay-to-Play scheme, but he certainly did not do it for free.
Hillary Clinton who claims she was broke, now has so much money she’s drowning in it. Barack Obama who earned $400,000 per year (times) 8 years, has earned multi-millions $$ from somewhere. There has been $$ trillions missing from the taxpayers pot of gold, cared for by the U.S. government, and there has been absolutely no accountability for these funds.
Barack Obama has already bought two known mansions… Palm Springs and Hawaii, and for the next few years is leasing a “mansion” right down the street from the White House. I truly believe he was expecting the Clinton Foundation Pay-to-Play scheme to last another 8 years while Hillary served as the president of the U.S.
FRAUD. CORRUPTION. LIES. CHEATING. MURDER
obummer is a thief, along with many other vices. He spent taxpayer dollars with abandon. I’m confident this is art theft in progress.
If it’s found that they stole items (including fine art) belonging to We the People, they should be arrested and charged with grand theft!
After the Clinton “Heist” someone from the White House needs to be check out what was not to go,
Is Still There!!!
Will see
Once again they got over on the American people. We pay for their move plus the items that actually belong to the American people. It’s like the 1 Billion Obama took from the US Treasury to give to his UN friends. 500 million in March, and 500 million in the last hundred hours he was in office. He should be held accountable for stealing from America.
Why complain? Just rejoice that they have moved out for good.
Liberals have a long history of thinking what belongs to someone else should be theirs, and taking it. What the Clintons got caught doing was despicable. The probability that the Obamas are guilty of the same thing would NOT surprise me one little bit.
I think ANYTHING they get AS they stay in the White House should STAY unless it is CLEARLY a personal gift by the government and anything they BRING into the White House could be removed when they leave and NO exceptions.
I would still like to know how the Obama’s net worth became $24 Million.
Well, how and why do you suppose the fraudbamas became “multi-millionaires” during their 8 years of “confinement” in OUR White House?
He actively supports liars, thieves, murderers, etc. Why would anyone be surprised to find he, like the clintons, is also a thief?
Takes one to know one, of those damn bigots.
The Obama’s don’t lie, steal, just like the Clinton’s don’t lie or steal either.
You can bet your bottom dollar they WILL, they are nothing but crooks and thieves.
How do you know the Oblowhard’s fine art before entered the white house. I don’t trust any of them
the would steal the pennies off a dead person’s eyes.
Yea that have an art alright, it is called pathological LIARS, the Blowhard’s and the Clinton’s are the best at that.
You blatantly refer to “Herr Trump” – – so are you “Komrad macy”?
Want to back your statement up with some facts? If you care to “try to remember” the “mooch’s” sniveling about “not having much” when they left Chi town, even tho’ they both had “questionable” 6 figure incomes at the time.
So what in HELL is the problem? The Obama’s had FINE ART BEFORE they entered the White House, so all of you damn bigots out there, SHUT UP! They do not STEAL like Herr Trump.
HEY KOSAR YOU WANT SOME CHEESE TO GO WITH THAT WHINE???????
Glad Clinton didn’t make it god knows what she would have stolen this time.
Wonder if they took the picture of the cops depicted as pigs ?
This couple has stolen enough from the American people, they are just crooks.
After an inveltory is taken they will, as with the Clintons, have to go after them to recover
the items taken. It will be interesting to see what they have “BORROWED” as the Democrat
socialist seem to say when they take something that does not belong to them. It is bad enough
that he came in broke and magically had his wealth grow at the expense of the TAX Payers,
much like hildabeast and her pay to play scam.
Did we expect anything less from this criminal?
I THINK THAT STEALING WOULD BE NATURAL FOR SOMEONE WHO THINKS HE IS ENTITLED TO TAKE WHATEVER HE FANCIES.
Hand made Dildos?
I hope we didn’t pay for those pieces of “fine art” that the Obama’s are removing from the White House!! The Obamas are another wealthy couple leaving the White House and they have already taken enough from the American taxpayers!!
There goes the neighborhood,now do an unannounced inspection and see what appears. You can take the thieves out of the ghetto, BUT you can’t get the ghetto out of the thieves.
I would like to know what “fine art” the Obamas brought to the White House with them from Chicago !!!!
Probably a little premature to accuse them of theft but they came to the WH poor as church mice 8 years ago and 100 million in tax payer funded vacations and are leaving rich; expensive home(s), golf vacations in Palm Springs, private schools for starters. It should all be questioned.
It is all relative. What is fine art to one person is crap to another. When I moved I personally took care of the *fine* art and I doubt anything I had was worth more than $500, but it is as fine as I will ever have. Let’s wait and see what is missing from the WH before we worry too much about any of it
I also wonder, do they inventory everything before and after each first family and how do they decide if something was meant for the current resident or to stay with the WH forever?
you can take the monkey out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of the monkey,once a jungle bunny always a jungle bunny
Democrat Motto monkey See Monkey DO
Just as they purchased around $100 million dollars in vacations! Yea, right they just so honest and trustworthy!!
Get serious, once a drug dealer, always a drug dealer! Was a thug and ran the White House as a thug, with thug guests!!!
Nobody has accused them of anything yet. There will be an inventory first.
Nothing can be seen that is in those boxes. I think, that until it is known that they took art that belongs to the people, they should not be accused. It is possible that they purchased their own art, just as they purchased the furnishings in the WH living quarters. Just because the very crooked Clintons stole doesn’t mean the Obamas will. If it is proven that they have, that is when pieces like this should be published. Until then, stop making maybe accusations.
Why haven’t charges been filed against them for THEFT !!!!!
he needs to take his lover michael with him
Please, Obama. Leave California and go back to Africa.
