Actual Title of Article from Hillbuzz (shortened for FR requirements): Who Is Funding the Purchase of the $35 million Beachfront Hawaiian Estate for Barack and Michelle Obama to Move into Come January 2013?

I’ve done some more digging here in Chicago on the story we brought you on Friday about plans currently underway to purchase a $35 million beachfront estate on the island of Oahu in a part of Hawaii called “Kailua” for the Obama family to move into in January 2013 when they leave the White House.

The woman who is organizing the funding of the Obama’s post-presidential estate is Penny Pritzker (pictured above, in between the worst President since Jimmy Carter and a woman who only dresses appropriately on Halloween or April Fool’s Day), who is also in charge of raising the donations for Obama’s presidential library and museum. The two are more or less the same project, with the priority being to get the $35 million together to fund the purchase of the Obamas’ new home. It appears that Pritzker herself may contribute up to half of the total purchase price, making up the difference from whatever the Obamas could not afford and the fundraising wouldn’t cover. Pritzker is a billionaire who in recent years resolved a long-standing family feud over her late father’s vast business empire that includes the Hyatt Hotel chain as well as assorted manufacturing operations. The wealthiest families in Chicago are being leaned on heavily to contribute with Penny aggressively guilting them with “appeals of you don’t want the President to be homeless in January, do you?”. That’s more or less an exact quote from Penny, if my source within her social group is not paraphrasing.

I would not be surprised if the f**ker ends up moving out of the country.

If there were any gas lines before that, I’d like to hear about it, cause I don’t think there were any in my area, at least.

I recall it as being during Christmas 1973. Lots of the small mom and pop stations which used to dot the countryside just went under — they would spray paint "no gas" on the pumps and just give it up.

True, there were not a lot of gas lines. You only saw those at stations that actually had gas. Tanker truck drivers would accumulate "parades" as people would follow them to the gas station where they were delivering.

Those were the days when we found out what a gas pump sounds like when it finally sucks air and quits. I had never heard or seen any such thing before.

We went to Maui this spring. It was nice. I don’t need to go there again.

I love Maui. So varied, from the more temperate agricultural highlands to the snorkeling to the wet jungles of Hana.

But from the middle of the country, it is a loooooong trip, which is discouraging even w/o their over-the-top progressiveness. It is cheaper and takes less time for us to travel to the Caribbean.
