Hillary Clinton flies more than 1,000 miles from Iowa to Martha's Vineyard for behind-closed-doors birthday party with Bill, Barack and Michelle
America's two foremost Democratic families - the Obamas and the Clintons - mingled on Saturday night as politics mixed with summer repose on swanky Martha's Vineyard.
US President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their daughters Sasha and Malia, and former president Bill Clinton and his wife, the Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, were star guests at the 80th birthday party for their mutual friend Vernon Jordan.
So important was the event deemed to be that Hillary broke off from her campaign to fly 1,300 miles from Iowa State Fair, where she had been speaking earlier in the day.
...their mutual friend Vernon Jordan.

Thanks, philman_36.
Follow the money, honey?
According to several posts from the past few days, Hillary did not decide o fly there at the last minute. She had fully planned to be at the Jordan event on Saturday and went last year also.
