Did shameless egomaniac Barack Hussein Obama have to “scale back” his 60th weekend Birthday Bash after being caught deer-like in the glare of sidekick Valerie Jarrett’s call out to her Twitter followers for donations to the Obama Presidential Center in honor of his birthday?
Certainly looks that way.
"My dear friend @BarackObama is turning 60 tomorrow," she posted. "For his birthday gift, I’m asking you to chip in $6 or $60 to help us bring the Obama Presidential Center to life in Chicago." “Obama has pushed to build the center in Jackson Park in Chicago’s South Side. The Associated Press reported that construction for the $500 million project has been delayed because of a federal review needed in the historic parkland. The center has already received over $1 million in donations from Boeing, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft Corporation. “Jarrett and Obama have said that the center is intended to bring jobs and revitalize the area. They face some legal challenges but hope to get the project started in the fall. “The Obama Foundation did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.”How about emailing the Obama Foundation during open , day time hours, Fox News?
“Jarrett was criticized at the time over reports that the former president was reportedly planning a birthday party critics say would make Jay Gatsby blush – 475 guests, 200 staffers all squeezed together on his $11.75 million estate sprawling over 29 idyllic acres of Martha's Vineyard -- the tweet was seen by some as tone-deaf. (Fox News) "IDK what’s more craven here, Obama’s staggering post-presidential net worth or the fact Valerie Jarrett is making a fundraising appeal for her "dear friend" when she’s actually the current president of the Obama Foundation," Zoe Samudzi, a writer, tweeted. “Fox News confirmed hours after this report was published that Obama decided to cancel the party over concerns about the COVID-19 spread."How convenient for the callous Birthday Boy! Propaganda always readily available in the media of the day, a spokeswoman for the ex-president, said in a statement obtained by Fox News that the "outdoor event was planned months ago in accordance with all public health guidelines and with covid safeguards in place.” Plans for the birthday bash at any time during the past year and a half would be in poor taste any time over that time period in the pain of COVID imposed on little people everywhere. "Due to the new spread of the delta variant over the past week, the President and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends. President Obama is appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon.” (Fox News, Aug. 4, 2021) Truth is many feel they’ve seen too much of Obama over the past 14 years as he continues to impose himself in their lives. Obama should not wait for too many well wishes from the hurting public at large.

“Obama’s birthday is Wednesday but the party had been scheduled for this coming Saturday. (Fox News) “News of the birthday party – which will reportedly include 475 of the former president’s closest guests – drew the ire of critics on social media, who characterized the move as hypocritical in light of the new guidance on the delta variant. “Prior to the cancelation, plans were for guests to be tested for the coronavirus and to be admitted only if they were already vaccinated, according to reports. “But the former president faced criticism that the party might become a "super spreader" event.”Instead of a “super spreader” event, Obama’s 60th birthday will be a scaremongering event, an Anthony Fauci-type reminder that ‘the Delta variant is coming’ and will be ‘much worse’ than Covid-19. Selfish, defiant, lifelong radical activist Obama deserves no lavish Birthday Bash and no donations to his egotistical Presidential Center. The celebration millions of Americans want instead is the Rebirth of their country taking it back to what it was before Obama and his Democrat Party pushed it into the spiral of steady, deadly decline.
