What’s left of the summer of 2021 has been saved in Massachusetts, and by the least likely of persons:
Barack Hussein Obama, of Edgartown USA.
If Obama is allowed to throw this 60th birthday party for himself with 500 slobbering billionaires on Saturday — and he will be — there is no bleeping way Gov. Charlie Parker could ever dream of shutting down the rest of us, no matter how much he wants to.
This Obama birthday party could end up as the super-spreader of all super-spreaders, and yet no one in the state-run media dares say that the emperor has no … mask.
The alt-left press hasn’t been struck this dumb about a scandal on Martha’s Vineyard since Sen. Ted Kennedy put a blonde in the pond on the other side of the island back in 1969.
After all the “Do-you-know-who-I-am?” moments during these last 18 months, there’s no way to top this breathtaking moment of Democrat hypocrisy.
It’s OK because they’re all going to be outside. Wink wink nudge nudge. And since the billionaires aren’t going to be allowed inside the posh digs, I guess they’ll all happy to use what the late Mumbles Menino used to call “potta potties.”
The attendees will gather (along with 200 servants) at Barry’s 7,000-square-foot mansion on the ocean. The very same sea, by the way, that will be soon flooding not only Martha’s Vineyard, but … everywhere.
Barack has told us over and over again how global warming will soon obliterate all coastlines, yet he paid the owner of the Boston Celtics $12 million for a home that by his own apocalyptic accounts will soon be underwater.
So that’s how much Obama truly believes in global warming — about as much as he believes in the myth of COVID-19.
Imagine if Donald Trump were trying to throw a party like this.
We’ve always known that Barry is a narcissist’s narcissist, a legend in his own mind. But what about his guests, who are almost as sanctimonious as he is about their commitment to fighting global warming, or climate change, or whatever they’re calling it this week?
How are the Beautiful People going to get to the island? On the ferry? Riiigggghht.
They’ll all be flying in on private jets. How many polar bears’ ice floes will melt in this orgy of carbon emissions and self-congratulation?
Then there’s the whole issue of COVID, which the Democrats have been telling us is so damn deadly. For us, apparently, but not for them.
Barack’s apologists of course are citing the fact that a “COVID coordinator” will be on hand, to make sure every, uh, precaution is taken.
But as Dr. Francis Collins of the National Institutes of Health said about large parties last weekend on one of the Democrat chat shows:
“If there were 100 people, how are you really going to be sure about people’s vaccination status?”
Will Obama’s pampered fat cats, legacies, trust funders and members of multiple protected, privileged classes be forced to produce vaccination passports, the way the hoi polloi are now going to be required to do if they want to buy a draft beer at a pub in Queens?
We’re talking about 500 guests, at least 490 of whom will be Democrat multimillionaires.
What kind of attendees are we talking about? Consider Barry’s neighbor, John Forbes Kerry, squatting in his second wife’s first husband’s trust fund’s $11.75-million Chilmark mansion overlooking Vineyard Sound.
How many times is the COVID coordinator going to hear the eternal question?
“Do you know who I am?”
Ironically, this party will take place mere days after the Democrats tried to gin up another national lockdown (and continuing vacation for their layabout constituents) by promoting an outbreak of the Panic in nearby Provincetown.
The Democrat operatives with press passes were making Provincetown out to be the return of the Black Death. Of 900 “cases,” seven had to be hospitalized. No one died.
How bad was it? Bloomberg listed the horrific fate of the P-town victims:
“Mild symptoms … ‘I went to taste a piece of candy and I had no taste.’ … He was exhausted with a slight fever … All recovered quickly … (He) felt as though he had a cold ….”
Faced with such carnage, the CDC immediately called for all school children to wear masks. The teachers’ unions are all in on continuing their members’ paid vacations for another school year.
And now the billionaire Beautiful People — Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Steve Spielberg — are fueling up their private jets.
All we can do is hope for the best as Obama’s super-spreader nears. Let’s just hope that when the COVID coordinator works the crowd of Edgartown swells, doing whatever it is that COVID coordinators do, that no one tests positive.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if some billionaires did become “cases,” and all those Beautiful People had to quarantine together for two weeks? What a tragedy if they couldn’t get back to the Hamptons or wherever the Beautiful People are all beautiful together this time of year?
Dr. Collins of the NIH said yesterday that “it may sound weird” but kids should wear masks at home.
But billionaires on Martha’s Vineyard — let them eat cake.
