Hillary Clinton may have distanced herself from Barack Obama’s foreign policy, but he doesn’t seem to have taken it personally: the two will meet at a party later this week.

Obama and the presumptive frontrunner for his Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nomination are due to attend the same soiree on Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday.

And the White House told AFP both the US leader and his wife Michelle were “very much looking forward to the occasion and seeing Former Secretary Clinton.”


The First Family is spending their summer vacation on the swanky Massachusetts resort island. Clinton, meanwhile, will be there for a signing of her memoir “Hard Choices.”

The social gathering will be held at the home of Vernon Jordan, a former adviser to ex-president Bill Clinton, the White House said.

1. Obama's job is to support the 2016 Dem Candidate...

And, they probably get along pretty well...although he's not as much of a hawk as she is.

It's politics.... And Vernon Jordan is one of the powerful King Makers for Dem Party.

Nothing to see there.....move along.

2. conversation acrid and syrupy

. . . like caramelized turnips

3. The media has been actively trying to sow dissention between the two of them for 6 years now

And it must stop.

4. Plenty of democrats are buying into it, apparently

If DU is any indicator.

5. They are meeting as former First Lady

And current President. In fact, Laura and Michelle just met yesterday. Media is always trying to make something more than it is.

9. I see your point but it's their words that the media reports

The Clintons have and still do say some very offensive things regarding the President. Sour grapes has a new picture in the dictionary.

I can see the think bubble over Michelle's head when she/they said they were looking forward to seeing Clinton. Don't think it would be fit for print.

11. Media says "Jump" ... most ardent critics from ...

... right and left respond ... "How High!!"

6. I'm sure she called him before saying what she did as a heads up.

This is not a big deal.

8. not a big deal for who?

. . . the president? Maybe not.

Her remarks loom large for voters looking for a truly progressive vision and stance and have tired of politicians hawking excuses to war.

[stevenleser]

13. For either of them.

This doesn't affect Obama at all and will not move the numbers in her support at all either.

[bigtree]

14. well I'm sure not voting for him anymore

7. Will they both have trusted food tasters?

10. Natural-born leaders don't act petty over minor differences.

They leave that to their followers.

12. Obama must not mind having his foreign policy mocked as

"don't do stupid stuff'. Cuz, you know, they talked at a party.

Hillary's crack media team at it again, covering for her gaffes.
