Rumours are flying that the owner of a beachfront mansion in Hawaii, which was once used to film the hit TV series “Magnum PI”, is none other than President Obama – the same President who warns us that global warming, and rising sea levels, are a greater danger to the future of America than Islamic terrorism.
According to the Daily Caller;
News reports indicate that President Barack Obama may have just purchased a beachfront home in Hawaii. But isn’t he worried about sea level rise from global warming?
Hawaii’s KTV4 News reports that a man connected to Obama purchased the multi-million dollar beachfront home featured in the show “Magnum P.I.” — the property was then sold to a limited liability corporation in Colorado. But if the House was bought on the president’s behalf, isn’t he worried that rising sea levels will harm his new real estate?
Obama has long warned that sea level rises caused by man-made global warming will make storm surges and flooding worse for coastal communities. In his 2015 State of the Union speech, Obama said “we’ll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods.”

According to Fox News, the White House is refusing to confirm or deny whether the President is the new owner of the beachfront mansion in Hawaii.

Former Vice President Al Gore was accused of hypocrisy in 2010, when it was revealed that he purchased a beachfront mansion in Montecito through a front company http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/17/photos-al-goree-new-8875_n_579286.html , after years of warning the world about the dangers of climate change.
If the new owner of the seafront mansion is confirmed to be President Obama, the President can expect to face some very difficult questions during the rest of his term, about why he thinks an investment in a seafront mansion is a good idea, given his track record of public statements about the climate and sea level.
Statements like the following, from the President’s State of the Union speech earlier this year.
“The best scientists in the world are all telling us that our activities are changing the climate, and if we do not act forcefully, we’ll continue to see rising oceans, longer, hotter heat waves, dangerous droughts and floods, and massive disruptions that can trigger greater migration, conflict, and hunger around the globe. The Pentagon says that climate change poses immediate risks to our national security. We should act like it.”

I hope he keeps HIggins on.
The move to TV star would be a no-brainer (he’s cool, can memorize a script and is already a celebrity), I suggest a reboot of the series with Obama in the lead role. They’d have to replace the 308GTS with a Tesla Roadster of course. But can he grow a moustache? Because the moustache is essential for Magnum to have.
They can always paste one on. It’s Hollywood.
y’all are obviously underestimating obumbler, the 12 imam. he’s gotta plan to stop AGW dead in its tracks, along with the out of control human race and modern civilization. just because it might take killing off 90% of mankind (according to the ludite zpg malthusians) doesn’t mean it’s a problem.
The house is in an area of Oahu called Waimanolo. It is just south of Bellows AFB which is helpful for the secret service and the former President’s access to military medicine should he so desire. OTOH, the neighborhood is kinda sketchy. Parts of it are really nice but big chunks of it are a ghetto. There is very, very limited ingress/egress to the house and it is a pretty good jaunt to either Honolulu or Kailua down some two lane roads first. The streets are really narrow and jammed with cars on both sides. There are a lot of strangers walking through the neighborhood. I kinda doubt the Secret Service would have said this is the right house for a former president.
That’s OK, he can use a helicopter
Why is anyone surprised that lefty doesn’t apply his standards to himself. This is standard operating procedure. It’s like Michael Moore burying a wetland to build his Michigan mansion. It’s what they do.
I think the ‘denial’ on CNN by a CHICAGO lawyer who handled the purchase for another couple seems unsuspicious. After all how many friends could Obama have in Chicago?
I realize I’m still an innocent prairie boy, even though I was caught up in a civil war in Nigeria seeing bodies on the streets of Jos in the prewar riots, shot at, arrested and put on trial in pre-breakup Yugoslavia as a spy, mugged on a climb of Kilimanjaro and had my passport taken…..The worst, I’ve experienced is the loss of moral compass of two generations of those who would lead us. This has to end, soon. It isn’t good for the survival of our species.

There is some evidence that the Hawaiian Islands experience massive landslides, such as along the beautiful Na Pali coast of Kauai, that produce very large local tsunamis.
A couple of days ago, volcano geologist John Seach, tweeted that Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii (site of one of the major global CO2 monitoring stations) is experiencing slightly elevated seismicity and continuing low level inflation. Any ideas on how to put a cork on this thing? The volcano, not the tweet.
Why is the purchase an indication of hypocrisy? Stupidity, perhaps, but not hypocrisy.
Chris,
You can’t see it?!
Obama has been banging the “climate catastrophe” drum, which includes rapidly accelerating sea level rise. Now he buys a mansion right *on* the ocean. If he believed what he’s telling the public, he would buy up the mountain instead.
Thus: hypocrisy.
Stupidity. Hypocrisy was Al Gore saying it didn’t matter if he used as much electricity as 25(?) households, because he could buy carbon credits to offset the CO2 generated.
Cassidy is correct, it is stupidity (if the intended owner is Obama) and not hypocrisy. Obama would be a hypocrite if he said people should not buy beachfront property, and then he went ahead and did it. But he didn’t say that, he simply said that rising waters will affect coastal development. So it may well turn out to be a terrible investment for him, but that doesn’t make him a hypocrite.
Its kinda sad when you even have to ask the question, “Is our current president a hypocritical lying ahole, or is he just plain stupid?”
So my question to you is, do you truly think President Obama is just plain stupid? An honest answer (without qualification) would help you make your point.
Maybe he just wanted to buy a fancy houseboat? 😎
I’ve actually looked things from that perspective when the regulators would balk at shoreline (river, not ocean) protection for properties with existing structures. Build a new deck with 14′ deep footing/stemwall (or just threaten sheet piles) outside of the riparian/regulated area. Let the erosion take place over the years, and you end up with a true riverfront home and you can fish right off of the deck.
When the regulators begin to think that you are somewhat serious, and that they are going to eventually end up with a 200′ vertical steel wall rather than a vegetated river bank, they back off and allow the permitting for the rip-rap for protection.
For the record, Al Gore’s “beachfront” mansion in Montecito is about 2 miles (3km) from the ocean and about 200 ft (60m) above sea level. It is in much more danger of being burned down by a fire raging down from the mountains of the Los Padres National Forest during Santa Ana wind conditions.
Drought induced fires on the one hand, rising sea levels on the other hand.
Where’s a huckster to live?
Perhaps a rumor, but when was the last time the Obamas went home… to Chicago?
That lawn has seen better days.
I doubt it. This would be the hardest place to guard. It’s nearly a stone throw from the road to the ocean. The main road that goes by it is the circle drive around the Hawaii Kai area to the Sea World exhibit.
For him to live in Hawaii, he would have to find a more secluded place such as on the cliff where Tony Curtis lived.
Sincerely,
Paul
Problem is security shouldn’t admit ownership. Isn’t there a place where he has vacationed, to the consternation of locals who have to put up with a security zone?
“The Planet Will Boil Over” ….By Barack Obama . Sounds like a catchy tune.
Lets see now …the oceans are going to rise so why do champions of scary global warming have houses by the ocean .Susuki ,Gore ,….now Obama ?
Apparently global warming pays well . Just not from those yucky energy companies .
The Planet Will Boil Over …Now there is a legacy quote .
Of course he is in good company following on bizarre comments of Al Gore that” the interior of the earth is several million degrees” . Really… where did that come from ?
I had no idea the world was being led by such complete and utter idiots .
Get this straight and though your thick scull the sea is only going to rise in some locations in the world ,this Hawaii location the sea level will not rise ?
Just another example of the catastrophic man-made global warming scam!!!!!!!!!! If the story is true about this property, I hope when Senator James Inhofe attends the December 2015 Paris Climate Conference, he draws attention to this matter before all the nations of the world.
Isn’t it Glenn Reynolds who says “I’ll start acting like I believe in AGW when the alarmist start acting like they believe in it too.”
Well somebody’s family sure believes in AGW, having purchased nearly 300,000 acres of prime land possessing the largest aquifer in the world, as a profitable investment in AGW water scarcity. But I don’t recall FOX talking about that. They’re making quite a windfall on the land value alone.

No, the idea is not that the water is scarce. The idea is to create a monopoly and then make money with it. Monopoly can be created for example by limiting the right to use local rainwater or groundwater and selling the rights to someone who can enforce the policy. I
That works in development countries far too well. I’s that close we’re not paying for the air we breathe.

Here in Canada, I believe one of Saint David Suzuki’s homes is also on the oceanfront. Yes, I said “one of”…
‘The BEST scientists in the world’…..THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD Obeee? Wow, that’s so cool.
The Oceans may be rising brother, but not where I swing the whip they ain`t!
Wasn’t he “born” in Hawaii? Then it is just natural for him to want to return there when he “retires”.
