Obama snubs Hillary fundraisers on Martha’s Vineyard

In a dramatic snub, President and Mrs. Obama stayed away from multiple Hillary Clinton fundraisers yesterday on 87.5 sq. mile Martha’s Vineyard, where they were wrapping up their family vacation. A lot of people noticed, including the UK Daily Mail’s Alana Goodman.

President Obama was a no-show at a flurry of fundraisers hosted by Hillary Clinton just a few miles from where he was staying at a beachfront vacation rental in Martha's Vineyard over the weekend.

Clinton arrived at Martha's Vineyard with her husband, Bill, over the weekend – purportedly to celebrate Bill's 70th birthday, but also to attend a series of high-dollar fundraisers for her presidential campaign.

But Obama, who has been vacationing on the posh island with his wife and kids for the past two weeks, skipped the Hillary events to relax at the beach, take in a fireworks show, and enjoy a meal with his wife.

“Who would’ve ever guessed the first black president would be a lazy shiftless bum?”

What exactly are you inferring, friend?

I’d like to toss this thought out there to be pondered. Clinton was SOC under Zero’s administration, therefore, the errors she made during that job belong to HIM as much as they belong to her. He is her boss, and HE is responsible for what she may or may not have done. He has NEVER admitted any culpability in her guffaws, so the possibility exists that he doesn’t want to be seen as a supporter.

Should there be charges for dereliction of duty or something similar at some point down the road..say during a Trump administration..Zero is already postured to deny any fallout.

Furthermore, he may not have been invited to the party.

Finally, I do like Lady Lynn’s perspective of him. She sounds like she should have been a ‘birther’.

Aside from them landing in MV, have we seen any pictures of the Obamas? Moo and the girls out shopping or biking with dear old dad or walking hand in hand and smiling adoringly at pops? Not even one eye roll. Nope, nothing.

I still want to know how they got Sasha deplaning when she was supposed to already have been in MV.

There are so many stereotypes out there, you would think he would go out of his way to not reinforce them.

The guy is a douchebag on so many levels, has hurt all Americans in so many ways.

He didn't "snub" her. In fact, she attended a party at his place just before her event... then few 20 miles by jet from his party to her fundraising event.

The WH has already said he's going to spend most of October campaigning for her... presumably on AF1 at taxpayer expense.
