The virus bows to his glory
First Barack Obama told us he was throwing a huge party
for his 60th birthday. Then, when everybody freaked out because we’re supposed
to be scared of this week’s “variant,” Obama told us he was scaling back his
birthday party. And now, as is usually the case with Obama, it turns out he
lied to the world and just went ahead and did whatever he wanted to do in the
first place.
A performer at
former President Barack Obama’s birthday party managed to take stealth
pictures of the opulent Martha’s Vineyard event and share them with Instagram
followers.
Rapper Trap Beckham and manager TJ Chapman discreetly
snapped pics of the event’s high-end food, drink and swag offerings…
By 1 a.m., the “scaled-down” shindig
had officially petered out, as throngs of famous guests and workers clogged the
roads of small-town Oak Bluffs, creating
a “s–t show” of traffic congestion on the resort island, police said.
Now, I don’t begrudge Obama his wealth. If people want to throw their money at him, that’s fine. He’s paid what the market will bear. Okay, sure, this is the guy who once said, “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”:
But clearly, Obama himself hasn’t reached that “certain
point.” It’s only greed when it’s the other guy. So if he wants to throw a huge
birthday bash at his huge estate with a huge group of “friends,” big deal. He
can spend his massive wealth however he wants, and the more brazenly
hypocritical he is, the funnier it is.
The problem is that he’s doing this while the rest of us
are being told to wear masks everywhere we go, even if we’re vaccinated. We’re
being threatened with yet more shutdowns, we’re being shamed if we gather in
numbers, and we’re being prevented from seeing our loved ones overseas. Once
again, our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters are scolding us to put
aside our own desires and comfort, not to mention logic and common sense, for
the “greater good.”
As the great Midnight Mitch notes:

Here’s Obama dancing maskless with hundreds of his birthday party attendees last night. But, remember, it’s not safe for your kids to go to school without wearing masks. All of this is total and complete bullshit: https://t.co/QGxov4ZJrC

Does Barack Obama look too concerned about the “greater
good” there?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama did all that just to
give Biden some more headaches. As Kyle Smith at NRO notes, Biden gave a very
lame excuse for not attending, and Obama has said some really mean things about
Biden over the years. I wouldn’t want that old coot around either. Who needs an
octogenarian creep wandering around groping all the women and sniffing all the
little girls’ hair?
Democrats
don’t need masks because they’re better than you. They can party all
they want, and Fauci has nothing to say about it because they’re his comrades.
But as for the rest of us:
---
TWEET
Tom Elliott @tomselliott
Dr. Fauci chastises those attending the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally: You’re going to get to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on."
----
If the Sturgis Rally wasn’t a superspreader event last
year, before the vaccine, why are we supposed to assume this one will be? Fauci
just loves being on camera and saying any old $#!+.
I really don’t like the Obamas, but they should be able
to party however they want, with whomever they want. And so should the rest of
us. If you don’t like it, go Fauci yourself.

“Had to delete everything due to the

surface it’s going viral. He danced the whole time. Nobody ever seen Obama like
this before.”
