Story highlights Clinton is holding a fundraiser on Martha's Vineyard

Obama will attend

West Tisbury, Massachusetts (CNN) President Barack Obama briefly emerged from his golf and fine dining-filled vacation Monday to raise campaign cash for Hillary Clinton, boosting the Democratic presidential nominee for an afternoon before returning again to a week of relaxation.

But even before a well-heeled crowd of avowed Democrats, Obama didn't take the chance to hammer Clinton's Republican rival Donald Trump.

"Frankly I'm tired of talking about her opponent," Obama said at the event. "I don't have to make the case against her opponent because every time he talks, he makes the case against his own candidacy."

The fundraiser, held in the same forested town on Martha's Vineyard where Obama and his family are renting a secluded compound, brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars for Clinton's campaign.

Obama delivered remarks to 60 donors, who each paid between $10,000 and $33,400 to attend, and answered some of their questions. It was his first public event since beginning his vacation here a week ago.
