Barack Obama 'Scaling Back' 60th Birthday Bash amid COVID Surge, New Protocols and Criticism
People via Yahoo ^ | 8/04/21 | Gabrielle Chung

Barack Obama's upcoming birthday celebration has been scaled back as the delta variant of COVID-19 is spreading across parts of the United States.

**SNIP**

It's unclear how many people will now be in attendance at the party. Outlets like Axios had reported the original guest list had around 475 confirmed attendees, but the Obama camp would not attach numbers or names to the shrunken guest list.

A source no longer going to the party tells PEOPLE that "no one needs to feel sorry for Barack Obama."

"This is the reality so many people are facing with COVID and it's the right thing to do," the insider says, adding that the Obamas "have no interest in being a distraction from the basic point: that everyone should get vaccinated."

At least a handful of celebrities are still expected to attend by virtue of their close friendships - and partnerships - with the former first couple. Bruce Springsteen, for example, is currently working on a book with President Obama after doing a podcast together.

One news outlet had reported that Pearl Jam was to perform at the party though the former president's tastes lean more toward hip-hop, rap and pop classics. But a spokesperson for the rock band told Fox News: "Pearl Jam is not performing at Obama's 60th birthday party this weekend."

Sounds like Hussein could use some more criticism. I'm game.

Barack Hussein Obama responds to criticism? Who knew?

Well, maybe he does. But rarely in a positive manner.

Expect him to go off all in a funk and being petty again.

“ A source no longer going to the party tells PEOPLE that “no one needs to feel sorry for Barack Obama.””

This is some kind of a weird statement is this from an adult about an adult?

People call trump a narcissist. They’re wrong. Probably projecting.

Well, well, that means that Obama has to dis-invite people, and that won’t go over well.

Hes whittled down the guest list from 500 to 499. Andrew Cuomo will not be attending.

Couldn’t have it look like the Expert Class aren’t taking the outbreak seriously, now could we?

Still think the alleged birthday party is a cover for a Deep State skull session.

Especially since Deep State won’t cancel it.

Maybe they should have a Zoom party.

And wear masks.

Only close family and friends...475 of them. Instead of 200 servants, they’ll make do with 199 to create the “Kenyan Village of My Birth”-themed outdoor bash.

How many of the 250 servants or the extended cohort of contacts spent a little time in Provincetown on July 4th?

Will they all be wearing masks and have up-to-date health tests?

He can just replay his HBO We are One Concert from the 2009 Lincoln Memorial inaugural joke.

You can bet that he’ll have his army of media flacks saying anyone who was critical of his party plans is “racist”, “white supremacists”, “domestic extremists”, and “conspiracy theorists”.

You can also bet that he will require photo IDs for all of his guests, and the place will be surrounded by heavily armed men, no women claiming to be men.

The stench of hypocrisy was too much even for Barry.

So how can we verify that this is true story and not just a media ploy?
