Hillary Clinton raises $1.5 million at Martha's Vineyard party while Obamas dine elsewhere
LA Times ^ | 8/18/2016 | Christi Parsons

Posted on 08/21/2016 6:23:14 PM PDT by jonatron

Hillary Clinton dropped by the resort island of Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend to pick up more than $1 million in campaign contributions during an elegant party at the summer home of one of her most devoted supporters.

Thirty people contributed $50,000 apiece to attend the Saturday night function at the home of Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a wealthy investment manager so committed to Clinton that she couldn’t bring herself to vote for then-Sen. Barack Obama after he defeated her candidate in 2008.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were on the island at the time of the Saturday fundraiser, but aides to the president said early on that the president did not plan to attend. Instead, the Obamas made a semi-public appearance dining on the white linens of Chesca’s Restaurant in this well-heeled part of the island. Dozens of people gathered as they ate and cheered them as they departed for their motorcade.

But the event of the day on the island was the Clinton fundraiser. Edgartown salons were full of people getting ready for the catered event that evening, set under a sprawling white tent on the Rothschild family's waterfront property. Reporters could hear cheering in the distance but weren’t invited to come beyond the large guesthouse.

My grandmothers wore those housecoats!

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. When my country grandmother wouldn't be leaving the house, she'd wear "housecoats" that looked JUST like what Hillary is wearing in that.

I think among ladies of that generation, they were viewed as suitable for "at home" comfort and work wear... a "clean the house" ensemble. She wouldn't be ashamed to entertain a drop-in neighbor, but she wouldn't go to town, even to shop for groceries, in it either.

Sorry for the follow-on post, but I realized I hadn't even heard the word "housecoat" in ages.

Another archaic word she used was "step-ins" which was what she called ladies underwear.

For Christmas, the grandsons would all get black socks, and the granddaughters would all get step-ins.

When asked what she wanted for Christmas, the response was, "Nothing, but maybe I could use a new housecoat." I realize now that would have been a very economical and useful gift for her.

In her entire life, I think she left the state of Mississippi twice, both of which were in the company of my Mom and Dad on brief vacations. No, I take that back. She traveled to Houston many times to take my grandfather to MD Anderson when he was dying of cancer. Of course, she never drove a car in her entire life, but she always went with whichever of the children drove him.

Good memories of her. She is enjoying her eternal reward. I am certain of it.

Lupus requires high doses of prednisone, which can pack on weight in the middle. Perhaps Crohn’s Disease? In the photo where she’s stepping off a plane, she is grimacing with pain, wearing a catheter must be excruciating. I can’t imagine why anyone would wear one unless they’re recovering from surgery. And to answer your question about a black, older woman standing behind her in some pics, my guess is that is Eleanor Holmes Norton.

Who selects the house coats that she wears everywhere?

One suspects that Mrs. Clinton obtains her eclectic and not-exactly-flattering wardrobe from the clearance racks at Arkansas truck stops and of course, clown supply stores.

Wow, Hillary looks fatter than Cheer’s Daughter, er Son...

I wonder if Hillary asked Cher for any pointers on how to build a Wall around her House.

Cher built a Wall at her Malibu place and ruined the Public View.
