How do you drown in water that is 8 ft deep when there is a paddle board that one can grab onto? I’m trying to imagine this without any bias. Did he know how to swim? Was he high?

It’s hard to believe he would go out to 8ft water if he did not know how to swim. Even so, a bounce from the bottom should get him to a paddle board that he could grab onto. There are two witnesses, they could shed some light on this. If this happened with Trump, I suspect law enforcement and the MSM would be all over it. With Obama, it’s best not to ask any questions.

Drug use? Would this be tolerated from the chef? I suspect the help has to perform to high standards. The Obamas probably feel no need to lead by example. As with Hunter, different rules apply.

The Obamas are not running against Joe, so where were the Secret Service?

No sane logical person I know who couldn’t swim would a) DO watersports and if that thought was entertained then b) wouldn’t do said water sports without a life jacket. I know you can drown in mere inches of water. But there was 8 feet of water, 2 flotation devices (paddle boards) and another person! Panic will drown someone fast and make rescue difficult. But situation itself is not logical

“Even so, a bounce from the bottom should get him to a paddle board that he could grab onto.”

**********

A person in this kind of situation is probably in too much of a panic to calmly consider the mathematical calculation of bouncing off the bottom. All they feel is nothing below them.

There’s also the matter of variable depths due to tidal movements. Most charted depths are shown at mean low tide.

His instagram posts show him in a swimming work out. According to tide charts, water was only 2-4 feet deep at the time. Also saw reports that he was wearing a life vest. Then, of course there are the reports that his face was badly beaten. It’s very curious.

I’ve never seen someone paddle boarding without a floatation jacket.
Hard to believe.

If he couldn’t swim it is hard to believe that he’d go out on the water without a life jacket. It’s hard to believe he couldn’t just grab the board.

Yes, it’s all hard to believe.
