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

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.

A few years back the Democrats even locked the presstitues in a closet. I’m sure they’re happy just to get some fresh air.

Yea funny how these elitist don;t mix with the working class they are supposed to support, and yet the occupy , liberals and Dem party keeps saying they are for the working class.

It goes to show their hypocrisy.

When I read the amount $1.5 million, my first thought was: that’s all?

I would like to see HRC and BO to publicly turn against one another as more damaging info is dribbled out courtesy of WikiLeaks, and as Trump’s numbers rise. Like if it could be made to look like leaks damaging to HRC came from BO’s camp, and vice versa.
