Bush Trades 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for 10141 Daria Place
The Bushes' current 8-year lease is up next month but they've got a new place to lay their heads after that. President Bush has purchased a big ol' house in a well-heeled neighborhood of Dallas. (I guess he doesn't need the ranch anymore now that he doesn't have to pretend to be a man of the people.) Smoking Gun and Zillow have photos and details on the fancy new pad:

The home, on a Dallas cul-de-sac, sits on 1.13 acres and offers 8501 square feet of living space, according to city appraisal records. The property was purchased for $2.07 million in early-October by Robert McCleskey, the president's accountant, who is listed as trustee on deed records. Built in 1959, the home has been improved with a detached garage (1150 square feet), servants quarters (896 square feet), and a storage building (240 square feet).On Google maps commenters have wasted no time weighing in with their opinions on the new house. One person hopes the president is able to relax there in peace. A concerned citizen worries the house is too close to a noisy toll road. To which another responds: "As far as Tollway noise? I don't imagine he sleeps very well...".

Its nice to see that they can afford a 2 million $ home on all those profits he made from the oil companies and other places he benefited himself and his cronies. While most of Americans worry about getting past the holidays and keeping their heads above the water. America is just a wonderful place for the rich!!!!

Marty, I agree with you this kind of "reporting" does help solidify our country in any way. I'm sick of the "media" & the nasty attempts to discredit, intrude, & trump up a story for all celebrities. I agree with Brad Pitt that photographers have no business climbing over a wall & calling out a child's name. No morals, standards. Same for the above reporter. Just plain nasty & unneccessary.

Article written with much prejudice - why does every little reporter want to sensationalize every piece they write. You reporters all dream of being a Pulitzer Prize winner - but, most of you are just green trash!

To the twerp who wrote this, get a job. you sound like a spoiled little snot. Do you think anyone cares about your condescending remarks. I'm sure you'll have a great deal to write about the new messiah.

I actually have found AOL to be more conservative. During the election most of the polls were slanted towards McCain. It just happens that this article shows a liberal bias. That's just my take on things anyways.
