Obama’s Chicago home gets foreclosed.

HOAX Story - Obama’s Chicago home gets foreclosed.(STN).CHICAGO, IL – President Obama’s Chicago homecoming on Wednesday was less welcoming than he expected, as Obama was shocked to learn his Hyde Park residence had been foreclosed upon some time last year. Obama was in Chicago for a series of fundraisers and decided to visit his old home, only to discover the locks had been changed and a new family had moved in.Since his inauguration, President Obama had neglected to make a single payment on the home he’d shared with his wife and two daughters, while the house itself fell into grave disrepair.“The place started to become a real eyesore,” said Kevin Deckman, who owns a home on the opposite side of the street from the former Obama residence. “The lawn was nothing but weeds, and there were a bunch of stray cats that would come and go through an open window, I think. It was a real health hazard.Ironically, Obama had joked before heading to his old house that the untended structure was "bringing down property values" in the neighborhood, which turned out to be true. Sheila Kravitz, a retired schoolteacher, tried to sell her home on Obama's block last year but couldn't, as any prospective buyer was uninterested in living next to the decaying structure.Hmmmm..............But was Pres Obama ever the 'owner' of the property in the first place?Read the full story here.

This article was widely circulated on the Internet outside of its original context, which left many readers and myself  unaware that it was nothing more than a fictitious bit of humor.The  web site which notes in its About Us page that it is "a satirical news site launched in January 2011 to lampoon the events, circumstances and players of the 2012 United States presidential election."Still it leaves the doubt about the real ownership of the house.Source Snopes.
