Neighbors say there's no 10-foot wall outside Obama's house

Neighbors of former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama have disputed President Trump's recent claim that a 10-foot wall stands around the Obama home in Washington, D.C.

Two neighbors in remarks to The Washington Post disputed Trump's characterization.

"There's a fence that goes along the front of the house, but it's the same as the other neighbors have. It's tastefully done," one neighbor, who was kept anonymous, told the newspaper.

Another neighbor also told the Post that the home is completely visible from the street.

"There is no 10-foot wall in the front, back or sides of the house - and no wall is going up," the neighbor said.

Trump on Sunday wrote in a tweet that a "wall" around the Obamas' home is the "same thing" that the U.S. needs on its southern border.

They sit on Sundays while hate spewing preachers lie to them. They lie in their daily lives and activities. A grotesque lie is nothing to them.

And will his cult question anything out of their figurehead's yawp? No, why should they question their Dear Leader?

Hideous optics, but very appropriate, given the subject "at hand."

and privacy. You will always be the target after being the leader of the free world for 8 years.

I sincerely hope they've got state of the art security of every kind, including human.

No one gets in but neighbors and their documented children or grands. Anyone else likely gets security screened heavily.

for security reasons I'm not sure it's a very good idea to publicize this story too much. It wouldn't be a big surprise to find out Trump was signaling to his nutty cult when he mentioned it.

I wish the media would stop and think for just a second before they chase down and report on every squirrel that Trump releases into the wild.
