Former President Obama has significantly scaled back his big 60th birthday party on Martha’s Vineyard as a result of the COVID-19 surge, announcing the event will be for “only family and close friends.”

The event was scheduled for Saturday at the Obama’s multi-million-dollar mansion on the island off the Massachusetts coast and reportedly was set to include hundreds of guests including such A-listers as Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney, along with donors and former administration officials.

“Due to the new spread of the Delta variant over the past week, the president and Mrs. Obama have decided to significantly scale back the event to include only family and close friends,” Hannah Hankins, a spokeswoman for the former president, said Wednesday morning. “He’s appreciative of others sending their birthday wishes from afar and looks forward to seeing people soon.”

Obama and his family have in recent summers spent time on the island, most recently in the mansion they bought in 2019 in the Edgartown section or $11.75 million.

The party had virus-safety precautions in place including having guests take a coronavirus test and be vaccinated ahead of the event.

However, the spread of the virus’ highly contagious delta variant and roughly 50% of the U.S. population still unvaccinated raised concerns about the party becoming a so-called super-spreader of the virus.

In addition, over the July 4 weekend, in the nearby Cape Cod town of Provincetown, large gatherings resulted in a COVID-19 breakout, with at least 130 people having tested positive for the virus, many of them reportedly having already been vaccinated

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.
