Magnum Mania!

This morning on the Today Show there was a short piece on the Anderson Estate being sold to "allies of the Obamas" and speculation that they might eventually relocate there.

Here is the link:

Robin's Nest has officially sold, but not to the Obamas. It went for $8.7 million to a close friend of President Obama, Marty Nesbitt.

The estate was purchased by Marty Nesbitt without any partners or co-investors. Nesbitt is a Chicago businessman who served as treasurer for President Obama's first presidential run. He is currently the chairman of the Barack Obama Foundation, which will build the president's future library. The property is next to the town of Kailua where the Obama family has spent the winter holidays in recent years. The Obamas purchased land in a similar way close to the University of Chicago many years ago. Sadly, and all politics aside, it will be the end of public access to the beach and turtle pond if they end up owning/using it. That I find unacceptable.

Will this be the location of the future Obama presidential library?

It's only three acres. That's not even big enough for the parking lot.

Guess I need to plan a visit pretty soon if I ever want to see Robin's Nest in person.

The estate?! He wagered the estate on a poker game?! Why? Why would he do such a thing?

Oh come on Higgins it'll be fun having Obama living here. Much more fun than Buzz Benoit.

No Magnum I can't and won't allow this. You must sabotage this transaction immediately.

How? How can I sabotage a deal that's already done? Robin obviously likes Obama.

You will think of a way or both of us will be evicted then you will be homeless once again.

Gee Higgins that would be terrible but I don't think Robin would ever do that to me. Or you.

Mr. Masters might not but Obama surely will. His Secret Service won't want you living here.

But I'm the estate security expert don't you think they would want my years of experience?

(Higgins Laughs and walks away. Magnum looks into camera and realizes: he's in trouble.)

I was thinking that since Nesbitt has apparently purchased Pahonu, this may be a sign that Hawaii will win the bid, and maybe Nesbitt will be overseeing the project from his new home at Pahonu
