Barack Obama to spend a month in French Polynesia
2017-03-17
In the who give's a rat's patootie news. The first 15-20 comments are not flattering. So the question arises, Who really liked Obama?
Barack Obama arrived in French Polynesia where he will spend a month at a luxury resort frequented by Hollywood stars, according to local TV channel Tahiti Nui TV.

The former US president landed on the tourist island Tahiti without his family before going to Marlon Brando's privately owned retreat Tetiaroa atoll, which the Oscar-winning actor bought in the 1960s. Obama has checked into the eco-friendly Brando resort, whose villas boast their own plunge pools and cost between 2,000 euros ($2,150) and 12,300 euros per night.

No political meetings have been announced during Obama's stay and it is not clear what he plans to do during the sojourn or whether his family will join him.

But the former leader of the free world and his wife Michelle have signed a bumper book deal with Penguin Random House estimated to be worth as much as $60 million.

French Polynesia, a French territory in the South Pacific, is made of more than 100 islands and is best known for the French nuclear tests carried out there up to the mid-1990s.

#6  Finally. Obama leaves Washington.

British General Cornwallis and his defeated redcoats surrendered Charleston with more honor and humility to George Washington. If Congress is truly patriotic, and if the wiretapping accusations prove damning, the Democrat party leader of Deep State should at least be placed on lifetime probation.

#5  Where's ValJar?

She and Mootch apparently aren't with him on this 'vacation'. Probably were annoyed at his incessant ranting that he's still important somehow, so shipped him off to the other side of the world so they can actually get stuff done.

He's always just been the puppet, and there's nothing worse than a self-aware one wanting attention.

Kind of like a talkative 'Chucky' doll.

#3  Hopefully he doesn't crash his Jetski into the coral reefs. Multiple times.

#1  Where's ValJar? Along for her hand-holding guidance, or back in D.C., running the shadow government?
