Looks like when Hillary Clinton snaps her fingers, President Barack Obama comes running.
Obama is interrupting what so far has been a leisurely vacation to campaign and help raise money for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee. Obama has said there’s never been anyone more qualified than Clinton, who was his rival in the 2008 presidential contest and his first-term secretary of state, to be president.
Obama is slated to headline a Democratic Party fundraising reception Monday evening on Martha’s Vineyard, the island playground off the coast of Massachusetts where he’s in the midst of a two-week vacation with his wife, Michelle, and their daughters Malia and Sasha.
Democrats Hank Goldberg and his wife, Carol, are hosting the event at their home in Chilmark, the same town where the president is renting a vacation home.
Obama will deliver remarks, but the news media will not be permitted to hear his answers to questions asked by some of the donors in attendance. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising effort aiding her campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties across the country.
The White House said Obama is eager to hit the campaign trail and be as helpful as possible to fellow Democrats. After the scheduling worked out, he agreed to interrupt his golf, beach and dinner outings to appear at the fundraiser and give Clinton a boost.
Obama recently said Clinton’s opponent, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, is “unfit to serve,” his most biting denunciation yet of the New York businessman.
Obama said Trump’s recent criticism of Muslim parents who lost their U.S. soldier son in Iraq and who publicly criticized Trump’s stance toward Muslims, plus the candidate’s lack of “basic knowledge” about critical issues in Europe, the Middle East and Asia “means that he’s woefully unprepared to do this job.”
Obama is expected to campaign aggressively for Clinton in the fall run-up to the Nov. 8 elections. He endorsed her right after the primaries and caucuses ended in June. At their first joint campaign appearance in Charlotte, North Carolina, in July, Obama said no one more qualified than Clinton has ever sought to become president.
He repeated the assertion at the Democratic National Convention late last month, saying “there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill (Clinton), nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.”
Clinton is not expected to appear with Obama on Monday. She’ll be making her first campaign appearance with Vice President Joe Biden in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Obama arrived Aug. 6 on the tony Massachusetts island where he has vacationed during all but one of his eight summers as president. So far, he has indulged in six rounds of golf, his favorite outdoor pastime, six dinner outings at a mix of familiar and new restaurants, two afternoons at the beach and a couple of trail walks.
The president is scheduled to return to the White House on Aug. 21.

JUST CRIMINAL HELPING A Fellow Criminal
Sharon, i so agree with you, i am praying hiliary , never steps one foot in the white house, DONALD J TRUMP for president 2016.
AGREED only God can help her wing, not Obama! And, that won’t happen! She’s cares less about America & including the unborn child! He (God) will never bless her!
She cares about ONE person………..HITLERY CLINTON……..
SO TRUE-CRIMINAL HELPING ANOTHER CRIMINAL! JUST LIE & DO WHAT YOU WANT.
If Hillary wins the election we will be putting SATAN in the White House and sealing our doom.
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT….satans minion………u-tube DOCUMENTARIES.COM……..see the real scum the Clintons are……
The SLEEZIEST of all criminals!! BTW, everybody must see “Hillary’s America”, an historical masterpiece!! It demonstrates just how immoral the Democrap Party really is!!
I have seen the movie and it is well done and factual. I would not have known about it if a friend hadn’t told me about it. There has been very little advertisement about it if any. I have told several of my friends about it and they were not aware of it or never heard about it at all.
Not surprising……everything detrimental to those scum bags is being hidden………DOCUMENTARIES.COM is a real good one…u-tube you can find a lot of sites on these scummy individuals………hitlery frightens me to death…as president this country will go STRAIGHT TO HELL……….
ALSO.u-tube…….documentaries.com AND Hillary files…..u-tube has a lot of info on the dirt bags…….LONG BUT NOT BORING…..
With how this president just signs stuff going around the people Hillary will just give everything away for the right amount. They don’t care about we the people and keep letting others in this country to change our way of life. If she wins we lose if you think for one second she will live up to her word, look at what they have been doing and you will see it not in the interest of the people.
This government is hoping for up rest in this country to take control of us even more why else would they support the black lives matter movement. They want a united police force to take over this country for they know we are done with their way of politics yes the rich get richer and forget the rest.
Hillr-killr most qualified??????? not even qualified to be dog catcher or cheap hooker. (I apologize to all hookers for the comparison) If she by some dumb chance is elected it is proof positive that We Americans are as stupid as many in the world think we are.
Trump 2016 God Bless America and let Freedom Ring
I think people don,t understand why Obama is helping her. Its about his legacy, he doesn’t want to go out and be remembered as the worst president in history. If Hillary gets elected she will be the worst, of course history will probably cease so it won,t matter anyhow.
Let’s see. Trump’s numbers are falling like a rock. Hillery’s are growing faster that a wildfire in a four year drought.
She leads by double digits everywhere.
O’Bozo is cutting his vacation to campaign for her. Strange.
Ha!Ha!Ha!
He did not interrupt his vacation to help the poor people of Baton Rouge and other areas while they were losing their lives and homes to the floods. What a hypocrite!
Of course she is the best qualified, in his eyes. She is just like him. She is a bigger liar, thief and con artist than him, but not by much. Birds of a feather, folks.
He’ll give up his vacation for Clinton, so he can keep his corruption running in the government, but he wouldn’t even give a prayer or recognition to our lost Service Men or our Finest, the police whom were shot and killed by his cronies. So sick this president we have in our government and the next president Clinton if elected. So sad for all American’s of whatever race they are now.
God Bless America is all I can say now. Our country will be lost forever with these corrupt politicians.
Precisely my thoughts exactly!!! God Bless all of our service men& women, God Bless ALL first responders, God Bless Donald Trump, Gov. Micheal Pence, and……. God Bless The United States of America! Sempre Fi Brothers & Sisters!!!!!!!
HOW TRUE……….AND the POS was elected for a second term…….OMG can you believe that? Check out “DOCUMENTARIES.COM” on u-tube AND see just how ROTTEN & CORRUPT they are…….suspicious deaths surrounding them…….Vince Foster for one…….HE did NOT commit suicide as they would like us to believe…….HE KNEW TOO MUCH….
Obama is so corrupt and Hillary has the goods on him……She’s threatened that if I go down, so will you. Congress, FBI and every gov’t entity of people fear for their families’ lives if they try to stop the murderous Clintons. It’s all over for this country if she gets in. The election is certainly rigged, just ask George Soros.
He has to. If Trump gets in he can say by by to all his b BS rules and deals. Trump will start to get America back on track the first day. He knows if clinton doesn’t get in his last 7+ years to destroy America will be wasted.
Are there any real journalist any more or do they all die from unusual fatalities?
Where have all the true journalists gone?
Who can deny that our entire political system is rigged?
From the candidate selection process to the elected officials’ self-reward and self-protection process to the obvious influence-peddling reward activities to votes at any cost activities and on and on. It is sickening.
Where are the George Washingotns, the Thomas Jeffersons, the Alexander Hamiltons and reasonable facsimiles thereof when we need them most?
WE NEED YOU NOW!
This was an arrangement that goes way back to when Obama first got elected. He cut a deal with Hillary to let him win and when his terms are up we will hand deliver the presidency over to her. Well it ain’t gonna happen! No third term Obama. Take a look at what happened in Wisconsin and so may other examples of our black presidents reign. I had enough of this commie crap. I want the Law and Order president. Trump 2016! Obama and Hillary are trying everything they can to rig this election
o’criminal is going to support hildabitch until he is ready to kick the props from under her. I received this analysis from a friend that explains why:
Here’s a very scary thought…………..
A guy had to take his vehicle to the mechanic the other day for service. The Service Manager, Pete, gave him a ride home and on the way he told him his theory about the upcoming election and the next four years of U.S. government. At first he thought it a bit farfetched. But as He listened to him it began to make sense, scary sense…
“I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the election in November,” Pete began. “Then, sometime between November and January, Hillary will be indicted. The IRS is now investigating the Clinton Foundation and the whole e-mail thing isn’t over yet.”
“Once under indictment she won’t be able to assume the Office of the President in January. Tim Kaine, who will not actually be the Vice President because neither he nor Hillary have been inaugurated, cannot assume the Presidency.”
“The Speaker of the House can’t move up to it because there is already a sitting President and Vice President. So President Obama, in an Executive Order citing “emergency situation,” gives himself another four years in office is the only way possible.”
Pete believes Obama has been planning this for a while now, knowing he has enough on Hillary to indict her. Had the Attorney General indicted her based on evidence from the FBI, this plan wouldn’t have worked because the DNC would have quickly come up with another candidate.
If you think about it, it’s not that outrageous. Many people on the left, including the President, want Obama to stay another four years. The law prohibits him from being re-elected so the only ways he can do it is by declaring martial law and suspending the election (which would be a very negative thing for the country) or to declare himself still President because the elected candidate cannot assume her duties.
The latter makes more sense and is actually more feasible. And since it’s never been done before, it would set a precedent that would be difficult to challenge.
Of course, if Trump wins the election none of this is going to happen. But what if Pete is correct? Four more years of Obama and a mostly useless Republican House and Senate would give Obama the time he needs to continue destroying and changing the country to fit his stated goals.
I thanked Pete for the ride home – and for messing up my day. Now I’ve got more things to worry about!
Vote Trump!
Forget Donald Trump, I don’t think President Obama is fit to serve as president. If anyone knows about the pitfalls of an unqualified person serving as president it is Barack Hussein Obama.
If you would like to see Barack Obama trade in the title of president for Supreme Court justice, vote Hillary. If you would like to see Eric Holder on the Supreme Court, vote Hillary. A person is known by the company they keep. In Hillary’s case she is hanging out with a lawless, incompetent and corrupt president.
Darn it Hillary,leave him alone. He hasn’t had a vacation in days. Such a busy man, never a moments peace. Your so inconsiderate.
is this the last of the 72 million dollar vacations or is there yet another before he leaves office.. bet he won’t be spending that much when he is paying for them…
8 YEARS OF VACATIONS & VACATIONS………WORKS LIKE DIBLASIO OF NY. LAZY SOB’s DRAINING TAXPAYER MONIES! HOW DID AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BECOME SO CORRUPT???
So what is wrong with teleconferencing, yet another cost to the taxpayers and most likely a lame duck excuse to escape from Michael/Michelle. An absolute insult to all previous/past presidents with his remark that Rodham/Rotten (Knoddy) is better qualified than all of them! Oh dear – what is behind it all? Has she got the low down on so many of the gang in so called control out there? As for the Obama legacy just consider what they have cost the taxpayers in extraordinary extravagances. They have bled and sucked the system for what they could. They should be held to account.
