For those still in need of a sublet, President Obama’s former 109th street walk-up is on the market for $2,400/month. Sit in the same corner that Obama used to burn stogies with Sohale Siddiqi or talk sports with his buddy, Phil Boerner. Hell, if you’re lucky, you might even get to use the same toilet. WNYC describes it as a “two bedroom Harlem apartment […] with exposed brick, a galley kitchen and ‘generous closet space'” (between Amsterdam and Columbus is Harlem?). There are two listings on CitiHabitats, both urging prospective tenants to “Live Like the President!!!.” Nine inquiries have already been made as of Wednesday evening, so act fast unless you want to sleep in the nearby alley (get it, cause like that’s what Obama did on his first night).
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.

only thing is, that guy doesnt have an ivy league degree
@Anonymous presbo’s daugther married yesterady – in theNYT
@Does anyone know if the walls still smell like weed?
@They say that late at night, residents of the room would report that not only the walls beginning to smell like burnt weed, but a very large and not so athletic african man in a wife-beater would pop out of the walls and smoke the weed as well before returning to the dark depths of the apartment. All attempts to communicate with the apparition have failed but he continues to haunt students who sleep in the apartment.
@Anonymous Shut up and take my money.
@You People.... Ann Romney’s gaping piehole is bigger than this apartment.
@Anonymous Romney’s Bedford closet is bigger than this apartment.
@You know who is rich? John “Ketchup” Kerry. You should see that mofo’s place.
@Anonymous It’s more like 8k
@Anonymous Now don’t complain undergrads when you pay 6-7 thousand for the year in much better buildings in much better neighborhood with security and doormen on campus.
@Anonymous What people always forget is that most of us live with roommates, so the effective “rent” is very expensive.
Doubles should be significantly less expensive, and they aren’t…
@observer That’s because if the university charged market rent with most desirable housing (EC and/or large singles) costing much more and less desirable (doubles/Wien) costing much less, the egalitarians would complain that the rich kids have better housing.
I would agree that doubles should be much less than singles – but the price floors are there to keep up the false notion that housing choices should not be subject to price discrimination.
@Anonymous Also why Book of Mormon is sold out until the Second Coming yet costs the same as any other show. Theaters are owned by like a dozen people total and none of them wants to live down a New York Times “oh no tickets are so expensive what about the pooooor” article at the next cocktail party.
@Anonymous That is pricey for the neighborhood. More like 1800.
@but... Obama!
@My goy friend wanted to know if this room came with a cute female Jewish roommate?
He didn’t actually ask but I’m simply being a good pal and asking for him before he realizes he has the need for it.
would like to schedule a tour of the residence.
thanks.
@Anonymous shut the fuck up with all these shitty allusions to that piece of crap jewish satire that some retard wrote by pressing his asshole to the keyboard. it wasn’t clever. just shitty (by virtue of its origins).
@SEAS Analogy Bro That’s like saying I want to break into a museum to wear FDR’s old smelly underwear without washing them (in order to maintain its authenticity and ass residue) just so I can physically touch something a former President of the United States had touched.
@Anonymous I hope you’re better at engineering than making analogies.
@SEAS Fairness Bro man, why does the post above me get 3 likes, but i get 0? clearly some of you think this isnt worth paying $2400 for but you all give me 100% dislikes :(
@CC'14 It has nothing to do with whether we’d rent the place or not. The reason you have so many dislikes is because you provided a really stupid analogy. You seem like an idiot, to be frank.
@:( you really didn’t find that funny in a stupid WTF kind of humorous way?
lighten up. your anus is too tight. life is too short not to laugh at these things, mane. youre way younger than me and i find what i wrote hysterical.
– regards.
@Why? Would anyone want to live in this piece of shit?
@it's perfect! also, all my dealers live on that block
