Found this comment interesting of where the Obama’s were staying - a mansion owned by a gay couple. (explains a lot)

Swank digs: Barack and Michelle were staying at the mansion of his Spanish ambassador James Costos and his husband, interior designer Michael Smith, in Rancho Mirage; The couple’s 11,000-sq-ft home was featured in an issue of Architectural Digest back in 2015 (pool above)

“I find it odd the daughters are not discussed or shown, and were they even at the Inauguration? Just strange.”

Like all stage props, their usefulness has come to an end.
They were as much political props as Chelsea Clinton was.

They will be rewarded for being pimped out for political purposes by getting high caliber degrees they won’t earn and no-show mega millions jobs created just for them.

FYI
Barack and Michelle Obama have arrived in the British Virgin Islands after jetting in to the Caribbean on Richard Branson’s plane.

British Virgin Islands? I thought Obama hated the British Colonialists? But, that was then and this is now.

Richard Branson sounds like such a great guy. Free plane flight, free lodging and fine dining. Where do I sign up for this?

Next stop, Necker Island: Barack and Michelle Obama are all smiles as they arrive in the British Virgin Islands on Richard Branson’s private jet and head straight for his lavish private island retreat

About 50 years ago when I was sailing in that area, I decided to get inside the Necker Island reef and anchor up. Very few people would go in there as it was tricky because you had to dodge coral heads.

We spent a great day there swimming snorkeling picnicking etc.
I had been warned about anchoring up there overnight.

We sailed out and anchored up in a common anchorage not too far away.

The next day while sailing by Necker we could see why there was danger - a big African swell had come in overnight and went over the reef into the anchorage and it was a horror show for any boat that would have anchored up.
I couldn't imagine being there in the dark and trying to get out without hitting a coral head in the darkness.

A great choice by Branson for a Caribbean Island just moor your boats on the other more protected side. - Tom

The academic Left is trying to portray Trump as the reincarnation of Andrew Jackson, a pro-slavery racist and slave owner who committed genocide against American Indians and was an opponent of tariffs. Jackson founded the Democratic Party and a political “spoils system”. The jack_ss symbol of the Dem Party comes from Jackson’s nickname.

Trump resonates with the Whig Party as documented by historian Allen Guelzo in his book :Lincoln- Redeemer President”.

Why didn’t the Zeros stay at their own house? Too cheap to use the electricity?

Their California home was bought in the same neighborhood so they could be near Smith/Costos (or is it Costos/Smith). Smith has decorated all their houses including the WH. That’s why Zero appointed Costos as Ambassador. Malia was supposed to do a summer internship at the Spanish Embassy this last summer but she chose to party hearty.

One plane for her. One plane for him. Did the basketballs get their own private plane? Guessing the dogs have already been eaten.

Near the beginning of their reign, there a rumor of their off shore banking. It was quickly hushed up.

No surprise here - freeloader lifestyle continues.....

I thought the same thing. What happened in Palm Springs? He only spent the weekend there? What a waste of government money to fly the jumbo jet to California just for a three day vacation.

So far, Obama hasn't spent a dime of his own money.

They were sent back to Central Casting.

And those dogs that required separate transportation when ‘taken on vacation’ are back at the pound.
