    RENT BARACK OBAMA’S UPPER WEST SIDE APARTMENT

    Barack Obama lived on the Upper West Side at 142 West 109th Street for a short period back when he attended Columbia, and the 2-bedroom apartment he rented is now on the market. No, he didn’t make out with Michelle on the couch in the above picture, and that’s not his cat dog. But the walls did house him once.

    The brokers at Citi Habitats aren’t letting that fact go to waste.

    “Live Like the President!!! Barack Obama’s former apartment is now on the market for rent. Be a part of history and live where the President lived while he attended Columbia University. Who knows, you just might end up in the White House one day. The apartment is a two bedroom, one bath located on West 109 Street. Fully renovated with lots of charm – including exposed brick, high ceilings, a marble bath and hardwood floors. The apartment also features a galley kitchen, generous closet space, and best of all, its unbeatable dinner conversation! Call today to see this two bedroom home – it’s unique in so many ways.”

    Yours for $2,400 a month. Obama paid just $360 back in the 80’s.

    That’s a dog, not a cat.

    I’ll pay $20 a month. Famous does not make any difference to me. Its just an idea.

    Should you have me as a contributing editor at large? Probably.

    Try to use percipient in a sentence. Its fun.
    I first heard it in a response from a woman lawyer to the late Sen. Strom Thurmond during the Clarence Thomas confirm hearings.
    He said, “What did you say?” The senator was quite perplexed. She clarified her meaning by using a synonym of common usage.
    All was well.

    What does this have to do with Obama? Absolutely nothing.
