44th POTUS Cancels 60th Birthday Bash Amid Coronavirus Surge

On the 4th of August, 1961, the 44th President of the United States was born, and 60 years later, in 2021, he planned to host a fun-filled birthday bash.

The Blast revealed that, unfortunately, the Delta variant of the coronavirus had other plans for the political figure's proposed event in Martha’s Vineyard.

The Obamas' spokeswoman Hannah Hankins said in a statement published in The New York Times that the event has been significantly scaled back to include only family and close friends.

The scaled-back festivities may be due to an article from The Post that cited the planned event as a public health nightmare. 

The 60th birthday bash was planned to include over 600 people. 475 were to be guests, while 200 would serve as hired hands.

Barack's former top advisor David Axelrod explained to Times Magazine that the Obamas asked the invitees if they had been vaccinated and requested they get tested proximate to the ceremony.

Nevertheless, the planned 60th jubilee made many Republicans outraged as they felt it represented a double standard from Democrats.

R-Staten Island Representative Nicole Mallotakis told The Post on August 2 that just like every American, Barack should celebrate his milestone without arbitrary government mandates and interference.

Mallotakis added that "if this were President Trump, the left would be screaming.” Arizona rep Andy Biggs echoed the same sentiment, tweeting, “Just imagine if this party was for Trump.”
