Private Jets Jammed Airport for Presidential Birthday Party, Straining Resources
The Vineyard Gazette ^ | 8-9-21 | Noah Asimow

Posted on 08/10/2021 4:43:01 PM PDT by dynachrome

The Martha’s Vineyard Airport reported a major jam-up of private jet traffic over the weekend, much of it stemming from President Barack Obama’s 60th birthday bash, held Saturday.

Airport manager Geoffrey Freeman said private jets crowded the tarmac at the small airport all weekend, draining fuel supplies and straining staff.

“Traffic was very increased, due to the party,” Mr. Freeman said. “Thankfully it wasn’t the fully-fledged party that it was originally planned as, because it would have put us way beyond our capacity, both for fuel and for parking spacing.”

The large private party at the Obama home in Edgartown sparked a media frenzy last week and prompted wider concerns around public health as Covid-19 cases began to stage a comeback on the Vineyard. By midweek, spokesmen for the Obamas announced that the party would be scaled back due to concerns about the Delta variant and the spread of Covid.

A dis-invitation was emailed to guests, saying the party would only include family and close friends. But spokesmen for the Obama office would not confirm the actual size of the party or the extent to which it would be downsized.

There are many things wrong with this picture; like how can it even be real. It seems like almost everything is broken or badly warped.

I actually respect Obama more now than I used to.

He made it clear to the entire country, left and right, that for him, political office was nothing more than a vehicle to amass vast wealth and now that he has, he's cashed out. He doesn't give a f*** what anyone thinks. He's got A-List parties to throw.

In fact, he probably did snort a little blow at his party but guess what? He doesn't care. Optics? So what. His birthday bash was a fully extended middle finger reminder that the elite are not us.

There's a great thread over at DU on the poor optics of Obama's birthday party.

President Obama's birthday party was a bad idea

I lived on Lost Lake/Knopps Pond in 74-75. I knew the man who owned the amusement park called Whalen Park (Sil Williams). He lived next to Rose Kennedy. How the heck did a punk/lying illegal ever get to be Pres much less have the money to live near that Kennedy land?
