A New York Times star columnist has lashed Barack Obama for axing people who helped him to the top from his lavish 60th birthday guest list in favor of A-list stars.
Maureen Dowd branded Obama 'Barack Antoinette' - a reference to the out-of-touch renaissance queen - and likened him to Jay Gatsby, the shallow people-pleaser from F Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby in her scathing piece, published Saturday.
She highlighted how the former president cut his ex-chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and former campaign strategist David Axelrod from the original 600-person guest list, despite both helping him secure his presidential victory.
Dowd was also scathing of Obama's decision to disinvite Caroline and Teddy Kennedy - key members of the Democratic political dynasty whose endorsement in the run up to the 2008 presidency was seen as critical to his eventual choice as the party's nominee.
Those who did make the cut after surging COVID rates forced Obama to slash his guest list included Beyoncé, John Legend, Steven Spielberg and Bradley Cooper - none of whom knew Obama before he ascended to the presidency.
They danced the night away at the president's $12 million compound in Martha's Vineyard - with Dowd saying the ostentatious display was also damaging to the Democrat party as a whole.
She explained: 'The party crystallized the caricature of the Democratic Party that Joe Biden had to fight against in order to get elected,
'It was as far from Flint and Scranton as you can imagine: an orgy of the 1 percent — private jets, Martha’s Vineyard, limousine liberals and Hollywood whoring.'
Some guests cracked jokes about being cut from the guest list, with Caroline Kennedy telling the Times: 'I would have disinvited me if I was him.'

Guess who wasn’t invited.
Yep. Sounds more like sour grapes.
“Teddy Kennedy” -— Someone should water Maureen’s drinks. Ted is literally dead.
Hi.
“Guess who wasn’t invited.”
Yep.
She mentioned his big ears and that was that.

He is the ruling prince now. He can do what he wants. I wonder if he has had the injections himself. I bet he takes the forbidden prophylactic measures.
did anyone get a final count on the number of private jets that flew guests in for the super spreader.
What, MoDo just figured out that her fellow lefty elites are hypocrites and whoremongers? If true she is even stoopider than I thought.
Meeee-guhn merkle? No mention of illicit uh, consumables or quantities of the items?
Oh, yeah. Sorry, Mo, Kool Kidz only, no little people. And that means you.
"But...but I lied, cheated, stole, and mortgaged my very soul to get him where he is today, and this is how he shows his gratitude?" Uh, yup.
What amazes me is the tight media security. Except for a couple of photos from one apologetic guest, we’d have no visuals of what went on there as Obama shimmied in his psychedelic purple suit.
Do tell.
She's 'slow'...
Good job.

Could she have meant Teddy Jr?
Ted Junior

Obama is still the pot-smoking, low IQ, Hawaiian choom-gang malcontent he always was
As a young man he picked up some nifty slogans and attitudes, and lo-and-behold, the deep state made him a figurehead President.
Now he’s done with using people, and being used, but he’s still giving the middle-finger to America.
“She explained: ‘The party crystallized the caricature of the Democratic Party that Joe Biden had to fight against in order to get elected...”
Where has Maureen been? Biden had the total support of the Dem party.
Also, she loved Obama, although Obama obviously regarded Biden as such an idiot he practically kept Biden hidden for his entire presidency (although giving him enough power to do a little extortion of foreign governments). But that was then, this is now.
That said, I think the party was more of a gesture aimed at Biden than anything else. Obama refused to shut the country down (at Fauci’s request) for H1N1, and I think, evil that he is, Obama doesn’t approve of Biden’s shutdowns and paralyzing mandates.
