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.

P.S. "Beach front rental." LOL! Probably ain't now two bedroom time share. even though the Mail makes it sound like it. You know, "charming cottage" and all that.
As Biden would say, this is an effen big deal.
Obama is really phoning it in during his last few months...
(Ya think colon powell can get his money back?)
“Or his soul?”
What soul?
Probably would have required going up some stairs, so no thanks.
More than likely asked not to come.
Hillary would be the third Obama term, but she’s never going to make that case.
“No, I’m different.” Yes, like a white egg is different from a brown egg. It’s still an egg.
Who would’ve ever guessed the first black president would be a lazy shiftless bum?
My sense is that O turd is seeing her falling in the polls regardless of what the media says. He does not want to tarnish his reputation backing a probable loser and if not, he does not wish to play second fiddle to her if she wins.
I hope his boat capsizes in La tomorrow.
Okay, I am no more a fan of Obama than is anyone here.
But really, can we blame him?
It was an LGBT event in Provincetown. Would Obama really be expected to show up to one of those and risk further pointing to his homosexual past. Nah, I don’t think so.
So 1.5 mil from these highly selected group of guests is typical?
A brief stop-over by a sitting President to shake hands and say hello would have made a significant difference in terms of pleasing donors and bundlers, particularly if some of these donors were previously Obama supporters.
Obama's no show would be seen as a snub and would have a depressing effect on donations.
Makes one wonder if Obama sees the writing on the wall re: a Hillary loss.
Apparently in $25.00 and $35.00 “donations”? Oh. Duh. Sorry. That should be $34,000.00/plate dinner. Wonder how much good that could do down in the Baton Rouge area. But, coon asses and rednecks down there so TFB. We’ll just live it up here on martha’s vineyard. (Isn’t it in danger of tipping over? Please)
Too busy praying towards Mecca?
Obama turning up at a fundraiser for Hillary when he’s being criticized for not being in Louisiana would be a mistake.
The Clintons did say some really bad things about Obama in 2008.
He avoided it because of the blatant White Privilege on display
Hillary probably told 0bama that the cost to get in was $50,000, and he declined to pay to play.
lol
no kidding
