In 1967, after shooting Mutiny on the Bounty, Marlon Brando bought the atoll of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia as his secluded getaway from the dreaded klieg lights of Hollywood.
Fifty years later, after Barack Obama staged a mutiny against his party by refusing entreaties to lead the “Resistance” to Donald Trump, he flew to a luxury resort on Brando’s island to evade the partisan clashes in Washington.
It seems fitting that Obama would end up at The Brando, as the resort is known, since the two men have much in common.
Marlon Brando is considered to be one of the greatest movie actors of all time—and yet he hated being an actor.
Barack Obama is considered to be one of the most compelling political campaigners of all time—and he hates being a politician.
The movie critic Pauline Kael once called Brando “the rebel.”
Obama, when asked to pick his favorite character from Star Wars, chose Han Solo because he’s “a little bit of a rebel.”
Brando was a leftwing activist who participated in the civil rights and Native American movements.
Obama was a leftwing community organizer who became the most liberal president in our history.
Brando was a famous recluse.
Obama is famous for preferring his own company to that of others.
While at The Brando, Obama has been staying at a villa with its own plunge pool, private beach, and TV media room. He’s been working on his White House memoirs, reading a book about Teddy Roosevelt’s post-presidency, snorkeling, bike riding, riding outriggers and canoes, sampling the French cuisine at Les Mutinés restaurant, and watching the sun set from Bob’s Bar. Obama issued a brief statement defending his signature domestic achievement during the recent ObamaCare brouhaha on Capitol Hill, but he’s refused to take phone calls from Democrat politicians. However, while he’s going French in French Polynesia, he does take an occasional call from his éminence grise, Valerie Jarrett.
Busy kneeling down in front of satan
Maybe he mixed up Haiti with Hades!
Those darned GPS’s! Not worth a thing.
I don’t really care where he is, but I prefer he stay there.
While I don’t expect many freepers to understand or get this:
The Duke is in his domain.
Ed seems rather confused to me.
The Obama he describes certainly isn’t the Obama we observed.

I remember Obama.
I just saw the fellas at CBS News French kissing him during a post election mouth to mouth resuscitation
He really could be anywhere, so be sure and avert your eyes should you see him. He may take other forms.
The fact that he went there w/o Mooch tells us a lot.
Maybe he has secretly been sent to GITMO, and we haven’t heard about it yet.
... that Donald Trump is concocting the greatest production of all time ...
... that will run for weeks, and will eclipse even Trump's 2016 election campaign for its twists and turns ...
... with TV ratings bigger than any two Super Bowls combined ...
... in which a former U.S. president is served with a subpoena and compelled to testify in front of a Congressional committee and/or a grand jury empaneled to investigate his administration's surveillance of law-abiding U.S. citizens.
Barack sh!t! Someone is reading it to him
Call from ValJar....any calls, I wonder, from Michelle or the girls?
Also, those sunsets would be much more beautiful if enjoyed with someone...wonder who that might be.
Where’s Reggie?
Non-extradition.
What are the drug laws there?
Not least being the timing of Brando's filming of "Mutiny". If Brando was filming it in 1967, he was about 5 years too late.
Naw, brocko is just busy being shiftless. Nobody respects him; a few used to find him useful. It's over.
Brando was gay. Figgers.
