The neo-feudalism of Obama’s maskless ball
Spectator World ^ | 10 Aug 2021 | Roger Kimball

There is a lot to be repelled by in the Spectacle of Barack Obama’s exercise in brazen self-indulgence, also a lot to be angry at.

I think it is important, though, to look at it as a learning experience. Pretend you were Aesop. What moral would you draw from this exercise in exhibitionism?

Doubtless there are several learning experiences to be had. But I thought that Rep. Jim Jordan perfectly articulated an important lesson in a tweet. Now we know, he wrote, that

‘#COVID19 spreads at:

-Church
-School
-Trump rallies
-Motorcycle rallies

It doesn’t spread at:

-“Peaceful” protests
-The southern border
-Democrat wedding receptions
-San Francisco hair salons
-Governor Newsom’s dinner
-President Obama’s birthday party’

Really, I hadn’t know that before and I am grateful for the enlightenment.

All the people traveling to the island caused a huge ripple effect from tent contractors to cake servers not to mention added airport employees for the event. With the entire wedding industry on hold for a year I guess Obama couldn’t be sure 61 would happen so he needed the party.

Hats off to the people who worked that day. I hope they got well paid.

Were it me with the serving tray, it would be difficult to resist spitting into the spinach dip.

With any luck there were a few freshly imported illegal aliens with antibiotic resistant tuberculosis in the mix.

Long past time that folks come to grips with the fact that, except for a very very small handful, those we “elect to represent us”, DO NOT GIVE A FLYING F*CK about us.

No need to get mad. Just accept that for what it is. The US Senate overwhelmingly passed the $1,000,000,000,000 bill for CornPop, filled with nothing but pork for special interests. Some might be saying that McConnell is playing a game of chicken with Pelosi, et al, daring them to go after the other $3 trillion. Time will tell.

Unless folks want to handle things another way, it’s way past time to start voting for other folks. I don’t care who they are, damn near anyone has to be better than the current crop.

And that isn’t just for the feds. It’s for your town, city, county and state governments. School boards. Zoning boards. All each and everyone of them have done, are doing and will continue to do is sell out everyone and allow rampant and unchecked development and expansion of anything the puppet masters want.

I’m sure there are a few examples, very few, of local boards denying this or that, but I’ll bet it’s very few and very far between.

Everyone wants to b*tch about their local taxes. What happens? They continue to vote for the same corrupt POSs that allow them to go up and up and up.

As stated, there’s another way but I don’t think that’ll ever happen. Start local and replace all of them.

Not happening. It would be nice. Soetero still has the Secret Service doing his bidding. No one is getting in without a check and ID.

So, one can’t help but wonder if the service staff and others were required to wear masks.

The Obamas willingly flaunt to the world-at-large the low-life scum that they are.

The celebrities in attendance (that he fawns over) must realize they are right there in the gutter with the world’s most renowned has-been.

The public display of maskless cavorting by all of them is breathtaking in its blatant hypocrisy.

It must be like the Romans at Nero’s violin recital enjoying the music by their dearly beloved butcher and the bonfires beyond the balcony.

Good grief, the media has lied about covid. It is a lie from the start. The vaccines are the killers. They refused use sound medical medicine for people with the flu.

Make that into a poster. Send it out across the country. It should be as visible as the Trump signs were.
