LOOKS like former US president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama are putting down deeper roots in Washington - after renting a house for their post-White House stint in Washington, the couple has purchased the eight-bedroom, nine-and-a-half-bath home for US$8.1 million, according to property records.
The Obamas have said they plan to remain in DC while their younger daughter, Sasha, finishes high school at Sidwell Friends.
