In 1967, after shooting Mutiny on the Bounty, Marlon Brando bought the atoll of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia as his secluded getaway from the dreaded klieg lights of Hollywood.
Fifty years later, after Barack Obama staged a mutiny against his party by refusing entreaties to lead the Resistance to Donald Trump, he flew to a luxury resort on Brandos island to evade the partisan clashes in Washington.
It seems fitting that Obama would end up at The Brando, as the resort is known, since the two men have much in common.
Marlon Brando is considered to be one of the greatest movie actors of all timeand yet he hated being an actor.
Barack Obama is considered to be one of the most compelling political campaigners of all timeand he hates being a politician.
The movie critic Pauline Kael once called Brando the rebel.
Obama, when asked to pick his favorite character from Star Wars, chose Han Solo because hes a little bit of a rebel.
Brando was a leftwing activist who participated in the civil rights and Native American movements.
Obama was a leftwing community organizer who became the most liberal president in our history.
Brando was a famous recluse.
Obama is famous for preferring his own company to that of others.
While at The Brando, Obama has been staying at a villa with its own plunge pool, private beach, and TV media room. Hes been working on his White House memoirs, reading a book about Teddy Roosevelts post-presidency, snorkeling, bike riding, riding outriggers and canoes, sampling the French cuisine at Les Mutinés restaurant, and watching the sun set from Bobs Bar. Obama issued a brief statement defending his signature domestic achievement during the recent ObamaCare brouhaha on Capitol Hill, but hes refused to take phone calls from Democrat politicians. However, while hes going French in French Polynesia, he does take an occasional call from his éminence grise, Valerie Jarrett.
Obama likes to lead from behind. He’s safely tucked away from danger while his useful idiots try and start a civil war.
I wonder where that pet he and Michelle kept. What was her name? Jarrett something?
He’s growing his beard out.
I still breathe a sigh of relief now that he is gone.
It’s even possible he is being prepped on what to say and how to say it. Remember BHO only has an 85-90 IQ so it takes him a long time to learn things but he can be taught if the lessons are slow enough and he has the questions ahead of time so he knows how to answer them.
Ha! I was gonna ask the same thing, lol.
It doesn’t matter where this Skunk is, at anytime; his Chief Consigliere Valerie Jarrett, who IS the person who tells the Peasant what to think on EVERY issue, and is currently LIVING in his + Moochells newly rented Washington home, is in full control of every DemocRATs Verbal actions in the last 67 days. You can count on THAT.
Obama hoping to make a triumphant return entry into Washington DC (New Rome).
...then, waterboarded unmercilessly on pay-per-view so as to pay for The Wall.
Likely sooner rather than later...
Interesting is Hollywood has given him sanctuary....and surprised it wasn’t somewhere in one of Oprah’s enclaves...
[Obama was a leftwing community organizer who became the most liberal president in our history.]
In terms of permanent changes he was able to enact, FDR and LBJ beat him.
Hah! Let him fantasize.
I think the Democrat base would take a dim view of Zero wasting Cecil.
On the other hand, here we have a tranquilized and tagged Siberian tiger about to be released back into the wild ...
I'm sure PETA would approve.
Putin loves BIG cats!!!
French Polynesia is a non-extradition country.
Most of Tetiaroa is private property. from wiki: “In 1904, the royal family gave Teti’aroa to Johnston Walter Williams, the only dentist in Tahiti...Brando eventually purchased Teti’aroa’s islets (motus) from one of Williams direct descendants, Mrs Duran. The reef and lagoon belong to French Polynesia.”
unmercilessly????
Oh, come on now, that really is butchering the language.
Brando was gay?? Where’d you pick up that bit of fake news.
“What would Brando do?”
Glad to help!
It seems fitting that Obama would end up at The Brando, as the resort is known, since the two men have much in common. Much in common? Maybe not. One guy is a pencil-thin, mirror-gazing community agitator and pot-smoking muzzie without a past -- a guy who came to America on a slave ship from Kenya, and was admitted thanks to a fake birth certificate, and who stammers any time you take away his teleprompter. The second guy is a self-made man who played Shakespeare and dozens of heroic and stellar (Stella!) roles in countless movies: one of the finest actors of his generation. Brando frequently played the rebel, but that rebel was usually trying to beat the system and win one for the freedom of man against societal constraints. Boobamba, on the other hand, wanted to destroy free America entirely and turn it into a third-world hellhole. Oh, and I don't think Brando and Moochelle would have jelled too well at that Tahitian lagoon. |
