History written by the winners etc.
The ex-President of the United States, and friend of Kelly Slater, Barack Obama appears to be nearing completion on his oceanfront south Oahu mansion, according to local news reports, as finishing touches are being applied to the landscaping. Purchased in 2015 for $8.7 million, the three-acre parcel will include three structures and two swimming pools.
Activists and stinkerdoodles have been making some noise and fuss about how the Obamas have found a loophole in some law or bylaw that will allow them to keep an environmentally damaging seawall in place. Those activists should be making a fuss about how the property was culturally appropriated from Magnum P.I. and was the actual Robin’s Nest where many crimes and mysteries were solved.
The Obamas razed the property three years after purchase in a possible attempt to wipe the memory of Tom Selleck and his gorgeous Ferrari 308 GTS from history.
A real shame.
Back to Kelly Slater, though, maybe the Obamas can invite him over for beach tacos once they are all moved in.

Magnum drank “Coops” (a made-for-TV brand) on the show.
Unless he was a republican of course. Lol
I’m quite sure just the construction alone had the carbon footprint of a small city. Hypocrites have no shame. Lol
For a guy who is portrayed a lot of concern about climate change caused sea level rise, Barry Soetero sure owns a lot of ocean front property.
You have lived up to your alias with a juvenile response. What is it about you fellows who use aliases? I use my real name and stand behind my comments. You hide your real identity. That suggests you are a coward. Use your real name doofus.
well said
Anybody can do anything they want, if they are willing to accept the consequences of their actions. Stick that in your liberal pipe and smoke it.
Barack Obama may have been a closeted plutocrat as early as high school. His goal was to join the powerful plutocracy and becoming POTUS was an unusually clever game plan. He was satisfied that his victory disrupted the status quo of racial elective politics and had no intention of disrupting the corrupt financial status quo once in office. He had no need of becoming an assassination martyr like MLK. Hell, he might become mayor of Oahu!
So freedom is being able to do whatever you want? I understand the appeal of such an ethos since it blends well with the belief that democracy is something to overcome. Get rich enough to not have to experience the shared constraints of the little people who are fearful of punishing consequences for moral delinquency.
Seems to be a pattern of behavior:

You can wipe the Ferrari but you’ll never wipe away that stash. In fact, it could be appropriated as a nice push broom to wipe sand off the patio
What bullshit this article is.
Southside Chicago to a palace on the beach in Oahu, ‘Merican dream right there.
But, ‘Merica also deeply racist, so he’d have 3 Oahu fortresses by now, all things being equal.
Cheer up big ears. The ‘white’ secret service agents probably have to sleep in the garden shed. What comes around goes around
He’s from Hawaii…
Not Kenya?
He claimed he was, until he didn’t.

it’s not the Festivus season but air the grievances?
Obama should appoint the Black Shorts to the Secret Service, go full on Kurtz up the river, slowly annex Waikiki, take over the airport, eat every diplomat sent out to get him back in line.
