Agreed.

I can't see how they could possibly justify their statement below.

Quote:“The outdoor event was planned months ago in accordance with all public guidelines and covid safeguards in place,”

Obama still threw his party. This was only to downplay the significance of it. Everyone was inside, maskless, and most likely weren’t required to show vaccine papers like the rest of us unsophisticated “superspreaders.”

Well, that sets a precedent for others who wish to host a party under similar circumstances.

Given It's fine for Obama, the same should apply to everyone else.

Except the day after Obama’s birthday they decided to kick it up a notch and complain about an annual biker rally.

That's precisely my thoughts.

COVID guidelines are set for everyone, regardless of (In this case) one's political standing.

It's not the fact that Obama is hosting a party. It's the fact that he just blatantly went against everything that he's been preaching since the beginning of the pandemic.

Perfect example of rules for thee but not for me.
