The Clintons rent in East Hampton
Bill and Hillary return to Elie Hirschfeld’s house for the second year in a rowAugust 10, 2012 12:00PM
By Katherine ClarkeThe presidential race is heating up, but Bill and Hillary Clinton are taking some time out to relax in the Hamptons.
The political power couple has rented an East Hampton house owned by real estate mogul Elie Hirschfeld and will be staying there for the whole month of August, The Real Deal has learned.
The Clintons rented the house, at 211 Lily Pond Lane, for a week last year during Hurricane Irene. Their longer stay this year will include the former president’s 66th birthday on August 19th. The vacation precedes the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, where Bill Clinton is slated to give a speech on September 3rd.

Hirschfeld previously told The Real Deal that the former president reorganized his library by subject matter during his last stay; perhaps he’ll clean out his garage this time.
LOL! The library comment. Mr. President, it’s a vacation! You’re supposed to rest! Have fun! Take your beautiful wife out for dinner and dancing!
We had heard that the speech was scheduled for September 5, but maybe it has been moved. At any rate, with almost half of the month of August elapsed, we hope Mme. Secretary went straight to her summer rental upon return from her extensive farewell tour of Africa over the past two weeks. She always manages to look so fresh and beautiful no matter how grueling the schedule, and she appeared to have had a lot of fun in some of the countries she visited, but still, she needs a break since very little of her travel time consists of partying and relaxing. Most of her travel hours on the ground are spent in difficult diplomatic negotiations, some in very dangerous places. We are joyful that she is safely home and wish her fair weather and a lovely vacation with her family and friends.
We also wish President Clinton a very happy 66th birthday and the best of luck with his speech. We wish he were nominating the Secretary of State, however.

bill talked about them renting a place on long island in an interview a few weeks ago, so this is definitely true. one quibble, though, with the article: obviously they aren’t spending the whole month there since it’s august 12 and hillary just got back from africa.

As a total geek, I can’t stand disorganized books either (most everything else is another matter), so I completely get why Bill did some tidying of the library. I don’t think he was our first geek president but Mr. Clinton seems to have some geekish tendencies.

Probably was looking for some leisure reading and the disorganization drove him nuts.

That’s what I thought too.

😀 Yikes! What kind of library IS this????

One that needed organizing by subject matter, it seems. I’m sure he wanted to make sure he’d be able to just reach out and grab whatever he wanted when he and his lady were on vacation. 🙂

That Bill, always organizing books. I remember him doing the same in their house in Chappaqua.

Was that before or after he leveled the hill in the yard?

What hill in the yard? I missed that one.

This won’t stay open for me – maybe because I don’t have the paid subscription, but I’m pretty sure it was in this article where he told the interviewer that he leveled a hill in the yard by himself.

Well, now we know two of his pet peeves – messy bookshelves and people speaking ill of his wife.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder where it was taken, going by the purple top, it’s a recent pic.

It was at the dedication of the exhibit about their moms at the Presidential Library. I think it was around May.
