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.

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.

Who?
So....is Branson the billionaire that is going to wash their dirty bribe money?
So we flew him all the way across America to Palm Springs as a courtesy. And he leaves after 3 nights. The man’s contempt for the American public and taxpayer knows no bounds.
It also turns out that in Palm Springs he stayed with a gay couple who are “married” to each other. And it was something like the 6th time he had done so. The previous times had gone largely unreported no doubt because the media did not want him to look too extreme for the Bitter Clingers and other Deplorables.
BVI is one of my favorite places on planet earth. Of course Branson has never invited me to Necker. It’s kind of ironic that the Obama’s rush to the BVI, a self-governing territory of GB, given Obama’s apparent distaste for the British.
So accepting a very, very expensive gift from a foreign billionaire who has spent many years working closely with and regulated by the US government (airline and space businesses) less than a week after leaving office is considered cool and does not even raise a media eyebrow. Yet the same media would have us believe that a foreign official paying market rate for a room at a Trump hotel is a grave concern. Give me a break.
I would be all smiles if I never had to hear that name again. Ever.
0bama probably got in on his Kenyan passport.
I hope they remembered to bring their Passports.

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?
Still traveling to exotic places on other peoples money I see.
The feeling is mutual. All decent Americans have been smiling ever since those two left our White House.
I love the BVI; very relaxing. Remember yesterday’s fake news that Michelle was flying by herself without Hussein?
Don’t these two grifter criminals have 2 children? Maybe they aren’t their children after all.
Some people are so much more "equal" than the rest of us that they don't need passports.
Looks like Mr Branson has just become Air Obama
Guess he can help this tribe continue their acquired tastes for $10 million vacations
I hope they remember to include the cost of the airfare and accommodations at both Palm Springs and BVI as INCOME on their taxes.
These two will be around a loooooong time on our nickel.
A week of frolicking with their poofter friends for Big Mike and Bathhouse Barry. How nice.
