Former President Barack Obama is planning a 60th birthday party with hundreds of guests at his vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard this weekend, according to a person familiar with the plan.caused by the highly infectious Delta variant. Mr. Obama’s gathering will take place outdoors and will follow all local, state and federal health protocols, including a testing regime managed by a public-health professional, the person said.

James Hagerty, the town administrator in Edgartown, Mass., where the Obamas’ home is located, said he didn’t have a specific concern regarding the event, which comes during a time of year when the island is swollen with part-time residents and visitors. The board of health is monitoring and has been in touch with the president’s point of contact for mitigating Covid-19 risks, he said.

Martha’s Vineyard hasn’t recently seen issues with significant Covid-19 numbers, though the Delta variant was detected there in July. The small towns that make up the island reported 17 new positive Covid-19 tests in the past two weeks, including four cases in Edgartown, state data show.

It’s raising only to the non vaccinated.

.... Not for the vaccinated. No pity for the adult anti-science crowd.

Trump invited 1000's of people to the Capitol in the middle of pandemic when no one besides him was vaccinated

Obama care...for him! BarackObama

Happy bitrdah mr president

How much $$$ will Massachusetts Taxpayers have to pay in State Police overtime to provide security for Obama’s super-spreader event?!? masspoli MassGovernor

So what?

Before blindly criticize, should it not be important to understand the precautions he might be having to ensure safety? If you want to criticize, do so to Ron from Florida who orders ALL Florida schools to not mandate mask! In some school areas, mask may be necessary!

Comical. He has security clearance. He knows he can throw a huge party and it will be fine. Don’t be a puppet.

Geez, I didn't hear them criticizing Trump for holding all his rallies

This is a joke right? They kept on going and are still going to the former guy's rallies, what are 'supposed' to be for thousands and thousands of reta.... morons...

Narcissist

who cares what the community organizer does

I'm quite sure all attendee will be fully waxed and follow any CDC recommended guidelines. Remember these are the civil members of our society. They are not covid deniers or brain dead conspiracy monger.

They will ALL be vaccinated - and maybe wear masks.

All of a sudden the Republicans care about social distancing? I guess they do when it suits their political games.

It shouldn't be just the GOP, he's going against liberal-backed policies, which he even supported.

Traitors criticizing what?

Mr President Obama Congratulations on 60 and remember your elders I'm 63.

And they will all be vaxxed!!!

Good for him! He and Michelle are intelligent and you know everyone will be vaccinated unlike the minion rallies! Happy birthday Mr. President!!

Can't believe he'll be 60!

GOP critics probably haven’t worked out that ➡️“Vaccinated smart” folk… …are going back to normal, while in their… Red States, Misinformed folk are dying, due to Neglect!

Yeah, riiiight. The same party that spread anti-vax propaganda and whines about basic public health measures now cares about the health of our former Black President. Got it. 😑

If gop is concerned then why haven’t they spoken out about GovRonDeSantis latest actions?

But the right does not care about the COVID virus! Such insanity that a pandemic has been politicized

As the liberals would say: “he’s killing our children!!!”

“…criticism from 20 unmasked senators on a 30 ft boat” 🤣

GOP criticism ?

But your editorial board said there is nothing to worry about

Mar A Lago ya hypocrites

'How dare he do the thing we say everyone should do every day because covid is nbd!'

Obama will draw GOP criticism no matter what he does.

Lol, after the way the GQP have been acting, maybe they should sit down, and shut up.
