The Obamas' nonstop jet-setter vacay continues. Sorry, Sasha. By Monica Showalter Continuing on in their new life as rich wastrels mooching off left-wing billionaires, the Obamas have continued their quest for nonstop vacation by posing for pictures on a $300-million luxury yacht owned by Hollywood bigshot David Geffen in Tahiti. The A-listers were there with them: Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks, and Oprah Winfrey on their longest of spring breaks on Marlon Brando's hideaway resort. Not exactly a hideaway, given that the Daily Mail has the story and photos. I suppose they have a right to do it, and if Geffen wants to waste his money this way, no doubt in expectation of a future payoff when the next Democrat is elected, one supposes that this is their prerogative. What's unseemly is how different it is from the picture they painted of themselves leaving office. President Obama said he intended to stay in Washington for the time being, renting out a luxury house in tony Kalorama – not to continue to politically meddle, he assured, but to ensure that his young daughter Sasha, now a high schooler at the exclusive Sidwell Friends Academy, got as much of a normal childhood as she deserved and could complete her high school without too much family trauma. Get a load of this treacly account here. Turns out that those needs went by the wayside now that David Geffen's yacht beckoned. The house, it turns out, seems to have been an abode for onetime Obama consigliere Valerie Jarrett, who actually lives and cooks up political meddling plots there. The other unseemliness is that Obama made a big deal about public service being his post-presidency operating plan, serving others, returning to his community organizer roots, helping mentor young black men. Last December, he vowed to do the work of "My Brother's Keeper" for life. Well, what's that promise compared to David Geffen's yacht? I couldn't care less if they want to be rich wastrels and get their pictures in the tabloids. But it's impossible not to be disgusted with how they marketed their exit originally to the public as so much selfless service and giving. The only people they are serving are themselves. http://www.americanthinker.com...ation_continues.html "Some things are apparent.

David Geffen. A really rich guy. He got his start w the William Morris Agency (WMA) as a talent agent. Geffen was working in the UCLA mail room. He applied to the WMA. He needed a college degree to get the job. He did not have a degree. No problem. He said he had graduated from UCLA. He intercepted a letter from UCLA to WMA which stated that he had not graduated from UCLA. He modified the letter to show that he had attended and graduated, then submitted it to WMA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Geffen | |||

As Trump restores our position as the leading force in the world, the Bamster is left wanting ... having been weighed, measured and coming up short. He just can't stand the sunlight (hence hiding) on his awful legacy and policies from the 500,000 dead in Syria, a failed states of Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, the disasters of NK and Iran, whitewashing the white house visitor logs, the loss of life under the VA, abuse of the Feds/.gov on political opposition (IRS, NSC), .mil ROEs that got people killed and left ordnance unused on 75% of sorites ... (I could do this all day long) - he got nuthin' ...

Huh... you think he cares about the effect of his policies on us the little people?
Looks to me like he's got all he wants.... The guy has always been a fraud. A hustler. He leveraged his racial background into a free ride to Columbia and then Harvard. He used it again to get into the Illinois House where he spied on his opponent and released sealed information to trash him, leveraging that illicit info into a Senate seat. He gave one decent teleprompter read speech in 2004, he got someone else to write a book for him, and he again leveraged his racial background into the ultimate hustle: He became the President of the United States. No talent. No money (of his own). Just a con man... and now he gets to party with the jet-set for the rest of his life. Do you really think he cares what effect he had on the country? He pulled off the biggest con of all time... "Some things are apparent.

I think he means, "roll over," once Sessions gets started on Lerner and the rest of the underlings. | |||

Wonder if Geffen decided he could save money on security by inviting the ex-president along. Not only the Secret Service, probably the US Navy near by. Who cares what it costs if you aren't paying? Oh, and I'm sure the yacht is solar powered... ... stirred anti-clockwise. | |||

I didn't think it was worth mentioning at the time but I've read things in the not too distant past about both Oprah and Tom Hanks considering running in 2020. | |||

I've seen a few articles like that too. The point is that the DEM bench is so weak, they may turn to a Hollywood candidate in desperation | |||

Sycophants talk about how "he risked his political life" ... makin' the call .. uh huh ... riiiiight ... I still don't believe that photoshop hack job of him in Situation room either.

I garun damn tee you he risked his political life when Valeried Jarrett made the bin laden call: his political relationship with Islam. Don't believe the situ room photoshop? I don't believe event the simplest, most mundane detail about his life. He is a complete sham and I wouldn't be surprised if any detail of his contrived public persona is false. | |||
