For someone who prides himself on optics, Barack Obama just gave us quite an ugly spectacle.
As the rest of America struggles with uncertain employment status and school reopenings, shifting mask mandates, anxiety over vaccinations and variants, the health of the economy and the citizenry at large, Obama had to go and throw himself a huge, epic, three-day birthday bash on Martha’s Vineyard.
You would think a former president — one who clearly considers himself more intelligent and sensitive than most — would exercise some restraint.
Or at least understand that this was a supremely bad look.
Here was our climate czar, John Kerry, flying in private. His mode of travel was preferred by a host of left-leaning eco-warrior celebs, all Obama’s “close friends,” of course, descending on an already understaffed and emotionally depleted Vineyard.
“His birthday party is insane,” one of Obama’s caterers told The Post last week. “What is he thinking?”
Clearly, Obama thought to do whatever he damn well pleased — even after such backlash caused him to effectively cancel his party.
“This outdoor event was planned months ago in accordance with all public health guidelines and with COVID safeguards in place,” Obama spokesperson Hannah Hankins told the press last week. “Due to the new spread of the delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends.”
That, we now know, was a lie.
The Obamas hosted hundreds of guests, all free to go unmasked, while their 200 servers were reportedly forced to mask up. The tiny island’s residents, meanwhile, endured “a s—t-show” of traffic and sudden road closures enforced by the Secret Service.
Is there a more disgusting display of elitist “Rules for thee, not for me” than this?

You know I read an article like this and I wonder where Ms. Callahan has been for the last 50 years (even more)? We are dumb enough to elect and re-elect the same arrogant bastards time and again. It is only natural they accept they breath different air than “we the people”.
I am old and over the hill, but the time has come for Americans to rise up and do something to end the careers and retirements of those who believe them to be our rulers.
Should “WE” simply sit around message boards bitching about the state of the Republic, it will finally DIE!
“Obamas hosted hundreds of guests, all free to go unmasked, while their 200 servers were reportedly forced to mask up.”
Nice.
It’s not hypocrisy …it’s hierarchy. They don’t expect to follow the rules. They expect/demand that we follow the rules.
“one who clearly considers himself more intelligent and sensitive than most”
Worst case of Dunning Kruger Syndrome I’ve ever seen.
It was a celebration of a scoundrel serving his third term as President. You don’t think a demented Joe Biden is actually calling the shots, do you? It was a party to celebrate the most audacious election theft in the history of the world.
This one, Fauci getting injected with testostorone not COVID injection, he knows damn well he might die with the same COVID injection.
Federal employees ie CDC, FDA, NIH, NAID, FBI, etc., don't have COVID vaccine mandate.
Yes federal employees do have a vaccine mandate—it’s either that or weekly tests/
200 Servers! That was no scaled back event! And they had to be masked...hahaha! The less than sophisticated are required masking. But the Sophisticated guests aren't......
Covid doesn't differentiate between servers or guests..
One photo I saw of Kerry showed him wearing the mask (outdoors), but his nose was uncovered.
Wakanda Forever
CRT has been used to create a black royalty. Obama is the king.
It’s gone far beyond royalty....my gosh there’s nothing but black commercials 24/7....every wanna be a celebrity is trying out for commercials.
will to kill
I thought I saw Jeffrey Epstein in the back of that picture with the tribal outfits.
Correction: The people I charge of the fed organizations don’t.
“all free to go unmasked, while their 200 servers were reportedly forced to mask up”
Wake up people.
wannabee royalty - His Majesty Barrack Obama
