John Boehner, speaker of the House of Representatives, just purchased a luxurious condo in an exclusive area in Marco Island, Fla., for $835,000 on Feb. 11, giving rise to speculations that the Ohio Republican is planning to retire at the end of the current Congress.
The Speaker's spokesman Micheal Steel, however, denied the retirement reports, telling Breitbart News: "This area of Florida has been the Boehners' family vacation spot for many years, and rather than continue to put money into vacation rentals year after year, they decided to buy a condo. Their home is in West Chester, Ohio, and will continue to be."

The new home is located in the Tampico condominiums of Marco Island and is said to be a "luxury residence" in Cape Marco. The unit covers an area of 2,093 square feet and is comprised of three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open-floor plan unit with a balcony offering uninterrupted views of the evening sunset.
The 14-story building offers a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico and island from its terraces, meanwhile offering the experience of living in a "beach villa."
All units in the building are a chef's delight, complete with kitchens equipped with Poggenpohl cabinetry, Corian countertops and a appliance package from the General Electric Monogram Series. The condo also includes master suites with spacious master baths featuring a large walk-in shower and a whirlpool tub.
Quoting the real estate records available with the Collier County, Fla., a report in USA Today says Boehner obtained a mortgage worth $650,000 from John S. Lucas Jr. in order to fund the home purchase. According to the records, the condo comes with a quarterly fee of $3,900.
Unlike many Congressmen, who own several properties, Boehner and his wife Deborah previously owned just one house in West Chester, Ohio. When working, Boehner lives in a rented basement apartment in a Capitol Hill row house.

I wonder if that is the John Lucas who played in the NBA and who was a great tennis player.
(Lucas does seem like a nice guy, he used to say hello to us at Haynes point tennis courts when I played their with my tennis team a long time ago.)
But, I wonder why he is giving a mortgage to Boehner.
