So what happened to Obama's chef?-News Suppression Is Widespread-No Known Funeral Announcement-Obama's Location Unclear-This is Not Normal Behavior-Why The Advanced Memory Hole Treatment?
2023-07-30
[AmericanThinker] Barack Obama was “heartbroken” over the drowning of his chef Tafari Campbell, but has said nary a word about him since he drowned on Sunday. Sasha and Malia Obama flew off to California on Tuesday and Michelle, appropriately dressed in black, played tennis on Wednesday “but only for an hour.”

Surely the Obamas would want a fine funeral for their employee of many years. But apparently, the issue is closed. The post-mortem was finished on Monday and the toxicology reports will take several weeks. So where is Tafari now?

There has been no obituary for Tafari in any paper, no notification of a funeral -- not even in his hometown paper of Dumfries, VA. Perhaps it is too soon for him to be listed on Legacy.com, but others who died after he did are listed, and in Edgartown, MA there is nothing in the Vineyard Gazette, the local newspaper. It claims to list obituaries for anyone who lives on the island or vacations there regularly. Apparently, hired help doesn’t count, even one who returns year after year.

Obama Spotted at Golf Course with Bandaged Fingers, Days After Mysterious Paddle Boarding Accident Claims the Life of His Personal Chef and Friend

[GatewayPundit] Just a week following the unexpected and rather tragic death of their personal chef and friend, Tafari Campbell, the Obamas were spotted out and about, seemingly unscathed and unaffected.

Barack and Michelle Obama were spotted at the Vineyard Golf Club and Farm Neck Country Club, respectively, according to exclusive photos obtained by Daily Mail. The pictures are the first public glimpse of the Obamas since the loss of their dear friend and personal chef.

Dressed in a green polo shirt and white shorts, Barack Obama was seen engaged in a round of golf at the exclusive Vineyard Golf Club. The former president, noticeably bearing bandaged fingers, which causes speculations online.

Citizen journalist Travis of Flint, Michigan wrote, "just days after his personal chef and friend died in a very mysterious paddle boarding accident, Barack Obama appears to have injured fingers and a black eye. We still don’t know who the other person was and Obama loves paddle boarding. I think we can all guess what happened at this point!"

Adding to the mystery, the call’s origin was marked as Wilson’s Landing, a popular paddle board launch site roughly two miles from the Obama residence on Turkeyland Cove. This information contradicts the Massachusetts State Police records, stating that the first call originated from the Obamas’ residence.
Courtesy of DarthVader, PJ Media has a collection of skeptical and useful tweets, adding:
Some dispute the significance of the bandages, insisting that they are sports bandages meant to prevent blisters from playing golf. Perhaps that explains it. But other details are being noticed as well. For example, some have called out the media for reporting that Campbell could not swim as an explanation for the drowning — when his own social media posts prove he most certainly could.

#14  Perhaps Tafari was putting the moves on one of the daughters and went a bit too far (or maybe one of the daughters were putting the moves on him and he took advantage of it).

If so, I might suffer a black eye and busted fingers to mitigate the problem too, although it would just be nonleathal but still quite violent. He's still the dad.

Although the girls are of age, perhaps Mr Campbell didn't get the message and Mootch got involved.

#10  A late evening tussle with Big Mike? Pole dancing mishap? An aquatic ménage à trois? Kangaroo rodeo? Donald Trump ?

The possibilities are endless.

#1  Could it be he was a boyfriend of one of the Obama's, and he had to drown himself?

Should we suspect a cremation will happen, with an empty casket grave site for public sentiment & looks?
