A rep for 44 broke the news Wednesday, saying the Obamas would not be hosting nearly 500 celebs and others with a staff of around 200.
We're told the Obamas were planning the event for months, and struggled to make it COVID safe, but the Delta variant made it too dangerous ... especially because the CDC now says vaccinated people can spread the virus just as easily as non-vaccinated folks.• All guests are asked to be vaccinated
Happy birthday sir we miss the steadiness in which you lead the country
That’s what a concerned man does. Good for him for caring about other’s well being.
Obama cancels amid bad publicity concerns. Who’s he trying to kid?
He is a private citizen I give him credit for showing common sense not much of that around anymore
Among poor publicity conerns*. I dislike this guy as much as everyone else but he wasn’t doing anything wrong having a birthday party. Unsurprisingly, he’s flip flopping based on what the media is saying. Same thing he did for 8 years in office.
Miss you and Michelle we need a leader and you and Michelle showed that to all! You showed compassion showed you were fun but when it came down to being a president and First Lady, you played no games and were poised and serious oh come back if there was any way
Oh our once in a generation politician...at least we all got reminded of how insanely wealthy they got after his presidency...
I don't blame him. I'm sure he's gotten an earful from plenty of people, especially on Social Media. But it's okay when Trump hosts large events though. 🙄
Lollapalooza committee - hold my beer
Only because he got caught, like a classic Democrat.
That’s how you lead by example!!👏
He needed to. Too many found out abput his massive covid spreader. Imagine when the party is over and people come forward with Covid?!! Talk about backlash
I wasn’t invited anyway so...
Why? People are traveling and attending public events like Lollapalooza like Covid is over. The people attending Lolla probably have a better chance of getting Covid & spreading it than any guest of the Obamas. He's rich, his house is huge so people can spread out.
That was a smart move.
It's the right thing to do. Reschedule it when the pandemic slows down and ENJOY IT.
Only because of the public pressure
That sucks.
Probably cause it got leaked out and he realized the public backlash he would get. Not because of the delta variant. But who truly knows I guess 🤷🏻♂️
🖕🏼 that POS
Thanks to some smart Republicans alerting the media
I dont want to live in a world where Obama cant have a birthday bash
Had he had it I’m sure Fauci wouldn’t comment on it regardless
BS.... he cancelled it because of the flack he’s getting which shows his hypocrisy AGAIN! 🖕
You meant 50 right
Do you agree with Obamas decision?
Cool 😎
He didn’t cancel, just “scaled back.” So a couple hundred were uninvited
Always a smart man
my f******hero!😎
And?
Pervert
I'm glad he cancelled
He's still gonna throw a party lol y'all just won't know about it
Nobody cares !
Awwwwww...
And how can you all be praising him for canceling. He was setting it up and knew what he was doing. For me I don't care one way or another. This is America and we are free to do what you want.
So sad for him!
Getting back to “normal” has been an uphill battle ⁉️🇺🇸😷
No way?!!! 🧐🧐
accuracy matters - it’s not even remotely cancelled.
“Cancels” Something tells me 701 people will be silent on social media that day.
Shiiiiiiiit. Tmz. Here is a good one for you. Send one of your crew and sit in front of the driveway . Count all the cars going in that day. Now that is a story. He ain't canceling shit.
Thank you for being a responsible and self accountable leader... NYGovCuomo could learn a thing or two...
