Been trying to tell y’all. New Cayman=Haiti. It’s coming.
I thought the WH’s first position was, “We didn’t know anything.” Later changed to, “We knew but didn’t strongly oppose.” According to the gentleman being interviewed this morning, the oncologists all agreed the bomber was in no danger of dying in jail. That story was bogus. The question is, when & what did the White House know about the deal being made by BP oil execs & Libya? No wonder Hayward is in Siberia now.
Now if we can just figure out a way to bottle it and sell it town to town in a covered wagon...we’ve got it made!;-)
Nice work, potlatch!
There WAS press coverage that the WHOLE family
was going to Marbella. If that was, in fact, the
original plan ...... what caused the change ????

Barack Obama to stay in Marbella [August vacation in Spain]
Typically Spanish ^ | July 25, 2010

The United States President will spend four days of his holiday in the town with his family during August
The President of the United States, Barack Obama, his wife Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha, will spend part of their summer holidays in Marbella.
In what will be his first visit to Spain as President, he will stay from August 4 – 8 in the luxury Villapadierna Hotel.
Before returning to the United States, Obama will travel to the Marivent Palace on Mallorca to meet with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia. He’s also expected to meet with the Spanish Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, at some point.
Government sources quoted by El Mundo, while failing to confirm the news, said if it were to happen it would be a ‘clear demonstration of the excellent relations currently between Spain and the United States’.

That was on the 25th of July. On July 28th, there was
this, already expressing less certainty that the whole
family would be coming or that -0 would celebrate his
b-day there:
“The truth about Costa del Obama -What Michelle Obama should know about her holiday choice of Marbella
###
It is a place of questionable taste, and unquestioning sleaze. But the Costa del Sol’s glitziest resort of Marbella is the surprise holiday choice of Michelle Obama and at least one of her daughters, Sasha, who are due to arrive on 4 August. Locals hope that Barack Obama, who celebrates his 49th birthday on the first day of their stay, might make a last-minute appearance.
Marbella, home of graft, tack and ostentation, is everything the Spanish costas should not be. Overbuilt and brashly flaunting its wealth, it epitomises the wanton destruction of Spain’s coastline. So what else can America’s first family expect?

There’s also this on the 25th:
White House denies Obama to holiday in Spain
###
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House denied reports from Spanish media that US President Barack Obama and his family would take a holiday early August in the posh southern Spanish resort city of Marbella.
*snip*
... the report by Spanish newspaper El Pais and El Mundo was incorrect.
According to the Obamas’ official schedule, the First Family has August getaway plans for the disaster hit US-Gulf Coast as well as the northeastern vacation spot off Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard.

Notice how they excluded HER vacation there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe El Mundo got it wrong .. but the original info came from somewhere.
Ah, thank you for that information. I do agree with you that UBL is dead. Didn’t know that his body went through Marbella to Saudi Arabia, but I’m willing to wager that Obama knows.
You’re most likely right. I was gone for much of June and in July my family was here so I was only on the FReepathon thread and Sarah Palin threads.
More reporting on his possible visit

Marbella´s Feeling Glitzy Again!
Jul 30, 2010
After a decade of political scandal, planning abuse and negative media coverage, it looks like Marbella is getting its mojo back. The place is packed with tourists, with visitors from the Middle East particularly prevalent at the moment.
Various parties seem interested in investing in projects such as the extension of the local marinas, but perhaps the biggest lift it has received was the news this week that Michelle Obama (the First Lady, no less) is due to come to Marbella on holiday for 4 days next week. Of course, rumours are rife that the President himself will be coming to join his wife during her stay.
The hotel where Obama will be staying, the opulent Villa Padierna , has been preparing for her arrival for weeks, and the hotel has been scrutinized several time already by Secret Service staff.
The other highly notable name here in Marbella at the moment is the Saudi Prince, Salman Bin Abdulaziz ...

Haiti is too corrupt and untrustworthy to ever become the new Cayman. Her Majesty still appoints the Governor of Cayman, which keeps it from becoming a banana republic.
Haiti for money laundering - yes. But all tranactions would be suspect, PROVIDED banking laws still matter.
Thanks so much Palladin.
I’ve made hundreds of them and spent a lot of time and work so they are like my ‘little children’, lol.
LOL.
..................BUMP...............
Could it be the Fritz told him he had an appointment in Chicago? He couldn’t say no!
El Correo reports today not all were impressed or even cared about the visit. Machine translation:
. . . the presence in Palma de Mallorca from the U.S. president's wife and 20-vehicle motorcade was greeted with indifference by local people. This morning there were no onlookers awaiting the arrival of the First Lady at the residence of the Royal Family, and across the city, the only sign that was expected of the wife of President Obama was a discreet sign installed in front of a Marivent bar . . . full text in Spanish
It still doesn’t make sense they would go on separate vacations especially on his Birthday. Has to be damage control. Perhaps a British newspaper could do some checking?
Pray for America
BO would have only changed his plan, going to Chicago instead of Spain, if he had something bigger, that he couldn't have refused, like an interview with FItz......(What choice would you have made?)
Someone needed to get the message/money to or from JJJ and who would be more trusted than “SIS”.
Expect JJJ to step down or be found ...in the near future....OTOH Maybe BO will appoint him ambassador of Haiti or the Grand Caymans....
Sure will .. and thank you. Glad you labeled it.
Just for a marker location for this ... Jesse Jr. has given $36M total in earmarks, $800K this term. Look at all the crooks and liars !
