Obama cancels traditional Waldorf Astoria hotel stay after Chinese takeover
The Guardian ^ | 09-12-2015 | The Guardian

Barack Obama will not stay at New York’s Waldorf Astoria during the UN general assembly this month after the hotel was bought by a Chinese insurance firm.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama and the US delegation would stay at the nearby New York Palace Hotel. “There are a range of considerations that influence where the president will stay when he’s not at the White House,” Earnest said.

“Those considerations include everything from available space to cost and to security.”

Earnest would not say whether the Chinese acquisition of the Astoria had raised concerns about possible espionage. Anbang Insurance Group bought the landmark luxury hotel in late 2014 for $1.95bn.

I’m probably the only one on FR who will say this, but honestly the money thing doesn’t bother me that much. Ronald Reagan stayed in the Waldorf every time he went to New York, even after he left office. Herbert Hoover and Dwight Eisenhower both loved th hotel so much they moved in after they retired from public life.

The President of the United States is our head of state. A Motel 6 isn’t compatible with the dignity of the office. That said, security is an issue. I think they had to move once the Chicoms bought the place.

They already have numerous photos and films of him in bath houses and with his Palestinian roommate, and in orgy sessions with harem boys. It is Libido Dominandi (as the book states) and guarantees he will always be a puppet of the Lucifereans-—just like Justice Roberts and the Clintons and many of the people in positions of power. Epstein child orgy boat and Franklin (boy) Cover-up are all typical protocol of the Lucifereans—Kissinger-types. Setting up the orgies and filming....like the Russians did in the 50s and 60s when diplomates visited their countries.

That is how the Marxists/Leftists work——they have total control over any immoral person-—who tend to be those that desire any power. Sad thing is that most people will sell their soul and sell out their country for fame and power and money.

Any pseudo or non-Christian, anyhow -—that is why Christianity has to be destroyed. Immoral people or evil, collective/totalitarian cultures (muslims) are easily controlled by a few elites. Christianity is attacked on EVERY front because that theology is the only rational religion which created the concepts of Individual Natural Rights come only from God and not from the State. Collective cultures can’t have the Christian Worldview which created the US Constitution.

Is there a Motel 6 in the area? They would leave the light on even for him.

From your July link:

President Obama is spending this weekend in New York City, where he’ll attend a Democratic fundraiser tonight and enjoy some quality time with his teenage daughters, Malia and Sasha.

No quality time with his lovely wife?
