Obama and the Beach House Loopholes
ProPublica ^ | August 15, 2020 | Sophie Cocke,

Posted on 08/15/2020 8:54:05 AM PDT by gattaca

Although Hawaii has laws meant to preserve disappearing shorelines, beachfront property owners have been able to bypass them. That’s what happened at an expansive coastal estate officials say the Obamas will live in.

As Barack Obama entered the home stretch of his presidency, his close friend Marty Nesbitt was scouting an oceanfront property on Oahu, the Hawaiian island where the two regularly vacationed together with their families.

A home in the nearby neighborhood of Kailua had served as the winter White House for the Obama family every Christmas, and photographers often captured shots of Obama and Nesbitt strolling on the beach or golfing over the holidays.

The prospective property was located just down the shore in the Native Hawaiian community of Waimanalo. Wedged between the Koʻolau mountains that jut 1,300 feet into the sky and a stunning turquoise ocean, the beachfront estate sprawled across 3 acres, featuring a five-bedroom manse, gatehouse, boat house and tennis courts. Fronting the property was a historic turtle pond that used to feed Hawaiian chiefs. Local families took their children to splash and swim in its calm waters.

Yet another Obama beachfront estate that will disappear in just a few years when global warming raises the oceans by 15 feet.

Hasn’t anyone told Obama about global warming and rising seas?

Working on his tan.

PS they've done a good job scrubbing these photos from the web. Searching for Obama Tan Lines returns pictures of Donald Trump because Orange Man Bad

What about the Martha's Vineyard house? Do they still own a house in D.C.? Or is that just an office?

Hawaii’s visitor industry braces for another pre-arrivals testing delay

A pre-arrivals testing program would allow travelers who have taken an approved COVID-19 test within 72 hours of traveling to Hawaii to bypass a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine for out-of-state passengers. Last month, Gov. David Ige postponed it from Aug. 1 to at least Sept. 1.

Impossible.

Obama is a socialist.

He’s building a Turnip Commune on this land.

Today, the news is reporting that health officials are saying:

“NO TESTS for persons NOT showing any symptoms...”.

So- IF I want to go to Hawaii, & I have NO symptoms, I CAN NOT get tested.

Then, 72 hours doesn’t work,either because test results are taking as much as 3 weeks.

Seems NO ONE is on the same page for ANY of this mess.

So much for liberal ‘elites’ really being worried about global warming and sea level raising...

IMHO liberal elites came up the the BS ‘global warming’ so they could buy beach property on the cheap...

Nesbitt has never been married. My guess is that Barack Obama and Nesbitt are “an item’.
