Next stop, Necker Island: Barack and Michelle Obama are all smiles as they arrive in the British Virgin Islands on Richard Branson's private jet and head straight for his lavish private island retreat

They spent the weekend with friends in Palm Springs, California, after President Trump's inauguration on Friday Barack and Michelle Obama have arrived in the British Virgin Islands after jetting in to the Caribbean on Richard Branson's plane.

The former first couple posed with staff at Terrence B Lettsome International Airport, the islands' main airport, on Monday night after a flight from California.

A photograph of the pair with their arms stretched around immigration officials and the local police commissioner appeared on social media after their quiet arrival.

They were then whisked away in a waiting motorcade to be taken to a nearby boat to complete their journey to Branson's private retreat, Necker Island.

Workers were seen loading the small wooden vessel with the couple's luggage before it launched.

‘Remember yesterday’s fake news that Michelle was flying by herself without Hussein?’

I remember it like it was yesterday.

If Branson doesn’t have a golf course on that island, Obama will soon be crawling out of his skin. Maybe if there’s enough choom he’ll make do.

Ah, the oppressed minorities of America. Meanwhile I was trying to think of one thing the inner cities accomplished during his 8 years in office and the only thing I could think of was the slaughter rate went up significantly.

Yup...the fake news that The Mooch was flying solo to Necker Island had me all excited. I was thinking Obummer was taking off separately to a country from where he couldn’t be extradited. Still could happen...keeping my fingers crossed that ALL will be exposed.

"Barack and Michelle Obama arrived at Terrence B Lettsome International Airport in the British Virgin Islands"

Hmmm, opening an off-shore bank account?

[Gumdrop]

Gosh. Rescued by a WASP billionaire. Is that allowed on the left?

[Gumdrop]

Using up a lot of fossil fuels aren’t they?

[Chgogal]

Why are you not in the WH Press Room?

Nice post for the Secret Service agents. I was down there at this time a year ago. Weather’s perfect.

Barack and Michelle Obama flew from Washington D.C. to Palm Springs for a grand total of 3 days before jumping on a private jet and going back from where they came and then some ... so the question, was that the plan or was Palm Springs a washout?

Fact is ... it was raining like hell all weekend. It was also super cold for SoCal. Obama got in one round of golf and that’s about it, before they boarded Sir Richard Branson’s private jet and took off for the Caribbean.

On the surface it looks like the Obamas bailed because of crappy weather.

But we found out their departure date was set even before the former prez left Washington, D.C. We’re told Palm Springs airport officials had conversations with the Secret Service about leaving on Monday, days before Branson’s jet landed in the desert.

It’s possible the Obamas made the decision to bail before leaving D.C. because they saw the weather report, but if that were the case why go to Palm Springs at all ... just beeline it for sunny Necker Island.

And there’s this ... Sasha and Malia, who were staying in D.C. when their parents left for Palm Springs, took Branson’s jet Saturday from Maryland to Palm Springs. - We’re assuming the girls went to the Caribbean with their parents, but we haven’t see pics ... so far.

It could just be the former Prez just wanted a round of golf with Larry Ellison and then blew out of town. It’s what ballers do, right?

Interesting. Offshore news sources generally are reporting that he arrived in the British Virgins and are showing pictures of him with others on the flight.

The report from California is that he was not seen boarding the airplane leaving open the prospect he did so but was not seen.

This is going to be an interesting set of conditions. — The later reports are careful to say it is not clear how he got to the islands — just that he is there.

OK, I had to laugh at that one.

Good thing Brennan broke into the passport office to keep the Kenyan’s and the Clinton’s passports nice and safe for a fast departure if need be.

[bgill]

Never fear, the Kenyan doesn’t go anywhere that doesn’t have a golf course. The Necker Open:

2210 flight miles from DC to Palm Springs for the Kenyan and Moo. Double that for the girl’s separate plane.

3362 or there about flight miles from Palm Springs to BVI for Moo. Double that for the Kenyan’s separate flight or however he got there. Don’t know if we need to triple or quadruple that for the girls. What about grandma? Maybe their SS rode in the baggage department along with the basketballs.

1) WHY go to Palm Beach to sack out at the ex-Ambassador’s place? What’s the connection aside from the bathhouse?

2) Sasha just came back from a vacay on the beach in Miami so why is she not in school? That was supposedly the reason for the DC gifted house.

3) The plane to Palm Beach was diverted to March Air Reserve Base due to weather. There were no pictures. Just because that’s what the msm was told and there was a motorcade of dark windows, do we really know that they actually went to Costos/Smith’s?

[Fantasywriter]

Wow—that’s amazing. Not being a golf person, I had no idea. Well at least Barry’s golf addiction will have an outlet. As you said, we might have known.

[Candor7]

Yep. The British Virgin Islands.

Question: Why are Moochelle and Obama continually vacationing
in international tax havens ?

Andorra, Morocco, British Virgin Islands.

Buahahahahahahahaha!

He is a block off the old chip.And it ain’t cow pie.

[morphing libertarian]

He was on his way to palm Springs (not exactly a tax haven) to play golf and it was raining.

[Candor7]

Is not Obama now in the BVI?

Why not Mauritius or Haiti?

With likely 10 billion he stole from us, why not just stay there ?
