White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama will be joined by first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia for the traditional departure of the ex-president from Washington. They’ll use the presidential airplane, but it won’t be referred to as Air Force One because that designation only applies when the current president is on board.
By tradition, Obama is entitled to one more flight aboard a government aircraft, and that will take place moments after President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.
The Obamas aren’t expected to have public events while in California. It’s unclear how long they’ll stay, but eventually they’ll return to Washington as private citizens.
Obama and his family have rented a home in Washington and plan to live there until youngest daughter Sasha finishes high school.
I hope we aren’t paying for this last trip.
he should go to Indonesia and stay there
Buh Bye!!
I remember Gerry Ford retired to Palm Springs. It sounds nice.
I am sure Mr Obama will be on all the late shows to tell his story and maybe the movie industry will make a movie of what they think is his greatness is and was, and yes there are plenty of golf places in Calif. Most of his speeches were about him, him and him that is why Calif is safe place for all I see is myself.
