Obama expecting 700 to attend his 60th birthday party despite COVID
New York Post ^ | August 2, 2021 | Lee Brown

Former President Barack Obama will reportedly have nearly 700 people at his celeb-packed 60th birthday bash in Martha’s Vineyard — even as officials warn of the dangers of large gatherings during the ongoing pandemic.

The 44th commander in chief will have at least 200 staff on hand at his Massachusetts home this weekend to cater to the 475 invited guests, including Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Steven Spielberg, according to Axios and The Hill.

Pearl Jam will perform, with a local hairdresser retained to style the hair of an unidentified member of the band, Axios reported.

“It’s going to be big,” one source told The Hill of the bash for Obama, whose birthday is Wednesday.

The party will be outdoors at Obama’s $12 million, 30-acre waterfront property, the reports said.

All guests will be asked to be vaccinated and there will also be a “COVID coordinator” to ensure safety protocols are followed, Axios said.

The party comes just days after health officials on the tiny island issued a mask advisory even for vaccinated people while in indoor public spaces because of rising cases of the highly contagious Delta variant, The Vineyard Gazette noted.

Martha’s Vineyard is also close to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where a spread among vaccinated people over July 4th prompted controversial new mask guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Though it doesn’t break any rules, big parties such as Obama’s do not follow the general guidelines pushed by the Biden administration.

Do the rest of us get to socialize? It's also fine for the elite to live in huge houses and take private jets as long as they buy carbon offsets. Meanwhile they talk about banning natural gas hookups and gasoline-powered cars.

They are saying...

“All guests will be asked to be vaccinated and there will also be a “COVID coordinator” to ensure safety protocols are followed, Axios said.”

Asked? And vaccinated with what? I’m “vaccinated”

Somebody should alert Dr. Fauci about this! He’d be sure to raise some hell.

Oh, wait. It’s more likely that he’s one of the privileged guests. So never mind.

The usual tyrannical DemonRat “do what I say, not what I do” ... plus a large dose of “all for me, none for thee ... suck it up peons and you WILL like the few crumbs that I may throw your way, if you’re lucky.”

Rules are only for suckers and peasants. Rules are not for the elites or border trespassers.

One giant can of insecticide should take care of both the virus, and the participants.

All for show.

Will the guests be wearing nasty, bacteria-laden face diapers? Will hundreds of those things end up in the ocean as a result of this party?

Biden was never President, Obama was, and still is "acting" President.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Provincetown, Massachusetts, where a spread among vaccinated ( homosexuals in bath houses ) prompted new mask guidelines from the CDC.

Because partying homosexuals in Provincetown with HIV easily catch covid, now everyone else has to wear useless masks that do not any virus...
