- Origin of information?
Martha’s Vineyard. Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton held several fundraising parties on this traditionally wealthy resort island. U.S. President Barack Obama took his family on vacation there for 16 days. Earlier, the media had reported that Obama would support Clinton at the fundraisers, but during Clinton’s stay on the island, Obama strolled on the beach, watched fireworks, and ultimately did not show up at Clinton’s fundraisers. On the Daily Mail’s headline, the word “snub” was used.
- Is “snub” too harsh of a word?
Perhaps, but Clinton threw a 70th birthday party for former U.S. President Bill Clinton while Obama was in Martha’s Vineyard. Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama went out for dinner, and did not attend the birthday party to wish Bill Clinton a happy birthday. In this political world known for its effortless gestures, this was a purposeful absence.
