I think the only thing of note in this story is that it bears explaining how a middle-class American becomes an elected politician and is now worth $100 million dollars owning mansions in the ritziest places in America. I do not resent wealthy people who go into public service, but people like Obama who parlay their elected office and political influence into massive wealth or use the influence to grow family wealth I find quite disgusting.

I could care less about the stupid wall although pictures of Obama maskless standing right next to and talking to all the workers wearing masks summed up the whole covid experience for me.

Never should anyone have /had to wear a mask outside and you know it.

Yes! And we found out through studies by people that want to help that it was not as necessary. So, anti-science do-nothing libertinarian, you are welcome!

I grew up literally down the street from this property and visited the Magnum PI property as a kid for school picnics. There was no sea wall then. The locals are very upset, not just with the recent sea walls that are causing erosion and impacting endangered turtle breeding grounds, but also because these walls mean kayakers and paddlers can’t use the area. Furthermore they built giant walls around their mansions blocking views from the road. I know Obama personally. He’s an arrogant jerk and nothing like the person on tv.

It’s not uncommon to see long food lines at the food bank in Waimanalo not far from this house. There are homeless people living in tents on the beach. At least he’ll see a reminder of his corruption while he’s vacationing.

So...would that be true for every single retired president? They are all rich and live in nice houses? How old are you..6?

Barry was the first one to be socialist. It's not quite the same when a socialist builds a wall to keep the homeless out of his yard.

The former pres needs a wall to protect him from being attacked by the Russians and the native Hawaiians.
