Former President Barak Obama and his wife Michelle purchased a $14.85 million mansion on Martha's Vineyard this past Fall.

B   arak means a stroke of lightning
A   nd Mr. Obama lit the electorate on fire
R   epublicans dimmed his initial flash
A   lthough he parleyed it into quite a stash
K   ennedy's Cape Cod Compound he'll next acquire
