President Barack Obama emerged from his Martha’s Vineyard vacation for a fundraiser, but he didn’t mention any of the devastating events now affecting the United States. Earlier Monday, she made her first campaign appearance with Vice President Joe Biden in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, a state both she and Trump are competing to win.
“Frankly I’m exhausted of talking about her opponent”, Obama told 60 donors who had paid $10,000 to attend the fundraiser.
Clinton’s opponent eight years ago, Obama has become one of his former Secretary of State’s staunchest allies. 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.
