Madame President Clinton? Chelesa Clinton That Is
May 21, 2008 5:45 PM
ABC News' Ed O'Keefe Reports: Perhaps there will be a Madame President Clinton after all. No, not Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. How about former first daughter and active campaigner Chelsea Clinton?
"If you asked me (if Chelsea would run for office) before Iowa, I would have said, 'No way. She is too allergic to anything we do.' But she is really good at it," former President Bill Clinton tells PEOPLE magazine in their latest issue, hitting newsstands Friday.
In the PEOPLE exclusive, Clinton called his daughter's "emergence" the "second best thing" of the campaign, after his wife's "ability to endure in the face of all the blows that have been rained on her: outspent, dismissed, denigrated, declared dead...when I met her, I found that in her personal relationships she lacked self-confidence and was painfully shy. She is having more fun now than at the beginning. If you look at her, she seems perfectly relaxed, doesn't she?"
When asked what he's learned about Chelsea's political skills, Clinton told PEOPLE, "It all changed after Iowa. She realized her mother lost Iowa 100 percent because of younger voters. She was upset, bawled, went to her employer and said, 'Look, you got to let me go or give me an indefinite leave of absence. I'm not letting my mother go down like this.'"
The former president strongly rebuked the suggestion that the Clinton campaign ever played the race card against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.
"I was really hurt about it at first. I am way over being hurt. This was cold-blooded, calculated, manipulated and a revolting strategy," Clinton said, in reference to the accusation that the Clinton camp stoked racial fears during his wife's bid.
When asked the seemingly open-ended question, "Is there anything you want voters to know?", Clinton replied, "When I was so tired, I either was not as precise as I should have been or I seemed angrier than I would have been. That's always my mistake. If I am to have any blame, that's it."
Clinton also said he didn't know Obama very well but called his wife's Democratic nomination rival "an immensely talented man" before adding, "I think I understand him. There are enough similarities in our childhoods and things that I think I get what he is doing. But I do think it's better to have made a lot of decisions before you get to be president."
Telling PEOPLE he speaks to his wife "probably three times a day", Clinton explained, "I got in the habit of not being an e-mailer when I was president because we had Newt Gingrich, who wanted to subpoena every e-mail ever written in the White House."
When asked whether the nomination fight would go all the way to the convention, Clinton replied, "It depends on what happens between now and then. It's been really funny that when when all she asked was to let all the votes be counted, the response from the other side was to pressure as many superdelegates as possible, in districts mostly that she carried, to come out against her."

I was shocked when her name was included in an article in the NYT this weekend. Her name was along side women like Govenors Nepolitano, Pailin, and Selibius. Along side Representatives Pelosi, Giffords, Gillibrand, and Herseth Sandlin. Along side Senators Hutchinson, Klobuchar, and Collins. OUTRAGEOUS. These are self-made women. I'm a man with three daughters and this type of anti-feminism makes me SICK. What exactly are her qualifications? This should ENRAGE real women.

It's time all the Clintons' said goodbye. It's the end of the road. Barack Obama has the lead in absolutely all the Democratic delegate count there is. What a shame he & his family couldn't celebrate last night when they met that milestone of pledged delegates. Obama had to be careful not to upset Hillary's voters. Barack Obama was entitled to that celebration.
Posted by: Jan | May 21, 2008 6:09:41 PM
David Gergen had a terrific suggestion last night:
Sen. Clinton should simply state that she doesn't want the vote of people who aren't voting for Obama because of race.
Say it as simply as that.
If the Clintons aren't playing the race card, tell the American public they don't want the vote of racists.

I have nothing against Chelsea. But haven't we had enough of the Clinton/Bush saga already? Let her pursue her passions without the burden of media prodding. They only say this stuff to sell ads anyway.

OMG; we're not even rid of the two Clintons and now he's introducing a third one into politics? Why won't they ALL just go away? Oh, I'm sure she's qualified now that she's 'emerged' in her mother's campaign. Bill just needs to keep his mouth closed. He keeps making a fool of himself!

According to the ABC reporting, Bill Clinton said that Chelsea told her employer: " ... I'm not letting my mother go down like this.'" ..."
Oh the irony!
It makes me so bitter and angry that every time one thinks of Bill and Hillary, they normally think of Bill's tawdry spousal cheating and the multiple allegations of sexual harassment levied against Bill by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

Re: MI VOTER's "Round Three"
Actually, Jennifer Granholm doesn't have the power to "vote". As Governor, she either signs the bill into law or vetos it.
So, in answer to your question: Who voted to move MI Primary, in violation of DNC Rules and aware of the sanctions to be imposed?
The MI House and Senate voted to move the MI Primary, not Jennifer Granholm.

We can only assume she has the ethics,
the respect for truth and law, as her
parents.
And clearly, because she thinks she can campaign without speaking to reporters, like a prissy queen, she has the
entitlement problem of her Mother.
Though probably she wouldn't molest Wh employees or interns.
But could we be spared another Cinton?

But Chelsea lied about Bosnia sniper fire. She backed up her Mom's story, remember? She was there on the ground too, after all, and knows what really happened. I think the sniper lies killed two Clinton careers at once.

David Gergen's suggestion was bullshit. If Clinton should make that statement, Obama should ask the AA community to not vote for him because he is black (sort of).
Gergen has become a CNN whore. Unfortunate becauseI really used to like him.
Posted by: kris | May 21, 2008 6:32:30 PM
give me a break! Chelsea Clinton, the silver spoon-fed strawberry girl. You have got to be kiddin. That girl does not know about hard physical work, does not know about carrying for kids, a home, bills, gasoline, work, and all the other challenges most American women experience in a day. Moreover, she has no sense of what it takes to work hard for something, starting from ground up. Yes, Bill Clinton paid his dues as probably did her mother, but Chelsea, she opens her mouth, and stupidity spawns. She has no sense of statecraft, real-politique, and political philosophy.
Clinton's "get the f*@k out of here. Go home and shut up!!
Posted by: lavampire | May 21, 2008 6:32:35 PM
druggstohr be honest, anything anyone says that isn't "clinton is the bestest bestest!" you're going to reinterpret in the worst possible light. I've been seeing posts by people like you around the net. Nothing that can be said, short of "Clinton for president" at this point is anything but sexism and denigration to Clinton and her supporters.
It's a mirror image of the GOP's "liberal liberal liberal" tactics of the last decades. Anything you say to criticize something a republican does got you labeled a liberal and now anything you say about the Clintons, short of supporting them outright and without reservation, gets you labeled misogynist.
Definitely don't need that in the Whitehouse.
Posted by: Benjamin | May 21, 2008 6:33:25 PM
This is not news, this is just more nonsense that demonstrates the contempt the Clintons have for the ignorant and self loathing who still support them.
Let's remember that Chelsea is a 28 year old woman, sheltered, protected and now supported by a series of sinecures. I have an idea, let's ask Chelsea about her cosmetic surgery at time when many Americans don't have access to basic health care. The best thing for the Democratic Party is for the Clintons, all three of them, to go gentle into that good night.

It's time for Hillary to swallow her pride and concede. The voters have spoken. The superdelegates have spoken and the majority doesn't want her as President. The Clinton era is over and I agree with another post. It's time the Clinton's said 'goodbye' and threw in the towel. They have a sense of entitlement when it comes to running this country. Hillary and Bill are nothing but power hungry people, that don't care about anyone else but themselves. Hillary puts on a big act, pretending she cares about the welfare of the people of this country. That's bull! She only cares about herself and living in the White House. She is a much different person than she portrays herself to big. She's the biggest prima donna in this country. Get out now Hillary. I'm SICK of looking at your face. I'm sick of looking at your healthcare hairdo and your ugly pantsuits and I'm sick of your loud screaming voice. Oh and I'm also sick of seeing your hand move with every syllable your speak! Put your stupid hand down. Walk off! Just walk off and get out! This country had you once before. They didn't have Bill, they had you, so your time is OVER!

Another self-entitled, self-righteous liberal elitist child. She should slowly sink into the mud like Amy Carter before her. We all would really appreciate a tell-all book: how does it feel that your own mother thought more about her own poltical ambitions than the efffect on your fragile development when she deliberately chose to expose her only daughter to a serial sexual predator and accused rapist.

I hope democracy works. The Clintons are setting up a dynasty sans democracy. Will the democrats accept this? Will they say "no"?
If voters winning delegates, as per the rules, is overturned, then democracy doesn't exist in the USA.
Posted by: a.l. | May 21, 2008 6:39:37 PM
I wouldn't vote for a Clinton again if you paid me money. Both he and she are a disgrace and apparently they want to assault us w/their daughter now who is just as much of an unctuous nightmare as her parents are. Who goes out on the campaign trail and tells a nine year old she can't answer his question? These people are a tumor sucking all of the life out of the Dem party, as an Independent, I watch this and wonder when they will ever get me to vote for one of their candidates again....

True story- Le Cirque Restaurant Feb 2006. A swarm of secret service enter the restaurant, several SUV outside.
My hopes build that its Bill or Hillary coming for dinner. NO its not--
Its Chelsea and her friend plus 1 table full of secret service plus several inside the restaurant plus more outside with NYC police escort. Oh it was raining, that explains it all. Such a sense of entitlement.

She's a B&*ch just like her mother and has about the same chances of capturing the Whitehouse. The Clinton's all need to stick a fork in it...they're done. Now they can all go to their little island and do their little dance with no music.

It is a very lame argument to say that Hillary should not be the nominee because Bill was president. It makes no sense whatsoever, is the silliest kind of reasoning, and is not to be taken seriously.

Posted by: rodney | May 21, 2008 6:43:04 PM
Using her mother's reasoning,
Chelsea has a lot of experience.
Her father was President for 8
years, her mother was First Lady
for 8 years, and her mother was a
Senator for 7+ years. That's
23 years of experience.
Posted by: david | May 21, 2008 6:43:07 PM
Chelsea,
If your mother would have "went down" 9 years ago you wouldn't have these problems! Furthermore, how do you get off demanding a leave of absence or to be fired. Some special treatment. Guaranteed job when your mom is finished losing or 6 mos of unemployment. Why not just quit...like your mom should?

This is really ridiculous. I guess Chelsea will be able to claim she has the "experience" since she was "first kid" for eight years. "First kid" of Arkansas for eight years, conceived while Bill-Hillary worked on campaigns in Texas, her mom is named after the great Sir Edmund Hillary, and her dad was the first "black" president. Give me a break!!! Meanwhile, she's master the "Clinton Babble" and doesn't answer questions while out on the campaign trail. Not even the questions of a nine year old kid. Guess that kid can claim to be Chelsea's George Steponopolous in 15 years too. These articles get Clintonites so energized!!! Give it up, and we all will applaud as that moving van is on it's way back to Arkansas...oops I mean Hyde Park...oops I mean Scranton...oops I mean DC...oops I mean Up-state New York where you're from!!!

All those mean-spirited people out there bashing chelsea. All she is doing to help her mother -- she is beautiful, and I can see the emmotional connection between her and her mom. She simply loves her!
It is the medial now trying to make it look like Chelsea is going to public office now. She made it so clear that she has no intension to do so. Bill's comments are from a proud parent who sees his daughter mature and getting strong in a positive way.
I will not vote for Obama for two reasons:
Himself (no experience, no credential, arrogant) and some of his supporters (crazy, mean spirited, and full of hatred).

Most amusing to me was the pretending that Chelsea has a real job where an employer actually expects her to, you know, do something.
She works at some hedge fund, but lacks any track record as a money manager. In truth, she is paid to hang around because she is Bill Clinton's daughter.
And that is someone who Bill Clinton seriously presents as a potential presidential candidate? It is so daft I cannot even laugh. I pity him for his delusions and embarassing himself like this.
Posted by: Spartee | May 21, 2008 7:01:28 PM
I typed. And it returns 431,000 hits. So what? That doesn't say anything. How many years that Obama has been introduced in the public life?
Also I would argue a caucus system does not reflect the popular vote. And we can approve that by using the Texas primary result. Did you see that the one who won the popular vote lost in caucus vote in the same state? Ironic. I don't think any Obama supporter even wants to talk about that. After all, Obama is still doing the old way using a new package. Nothing new.
BTW, if you type "obama scandals", it returns 498,000. A blow to you right?

Remember when the Democrats used to self-righteously complain if Republicans brought in more money than they did? They said it was proof they were "greedy" and out-of-touch Capitalists.

Next,
The Michigan legislature has nothing to do with the timing of the Democratic primary. As a major player in the state party, Granholm indeed VOTED, with others in the party to move the date of the primary.
Posted by: Mike C | May 21, 2008 7:05:09 PM
HILLARY IS A HYPOCRITE, AND A LIAR!!
1. SIXTEEN months ago, Hillary Clinton, along with ALL the other 8 candidates who were running for the democratic nomination, ALL OF THEM, signed a contract which said that because they broke party rules and decided to move up their primary voting date, that the states of Florida, and Michigan would not count.
BUT when Hillary started losing the race, she STARTED LYING, ACTING as though she had not actually signed a contract. even when shw was confronted with her lies on television.
2. So not only is Hillary trying to get the votes in Florida, and Michigan counted, ( ONLY because she needs them to win), Hillary has said that she wants to EXCLUDE all the votes that were cast in states with caucases. She says that they should not. Now Hillary does not want the votes cast by voters in caucus states counted. (There goes Hillary's whole argument that she wants EVERY vote to count) The fact is that Hillary only wants the votes in the states SHE won to count. So if you live in a caucus state, Hillary DOES NOT think ANY of your votes should count, And she said so!!
THIS IS THE TYPE OF MANIPULATION, AND DISHONESTY WE CAN EXPECT FROM HILLARY AS PRESIDENT. SHE HAS ALREADY SHOWN SHE HAS NO RESPECT FOR RULES, OR CONTRACTS.
WATCHING HILLARY LIE, AND CHANGE THE RULES WHENEVER SHE FEELS LIKE IT, SHOW THAT SHE IS MANIPULATIVE, AND DECEPTIVE, AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO KEEP HER WORD!

If Obama will tell his voters who say they will never vote for a Women for President that he does not want there votes. Its not just Racism, its also Sexism that has been going on in this election. For the first time Obama acknowledge that seeing a Women run for President was such a good life lesson for his two daughters, that yes they can be what they dream of, but of course until the glass ceiling is smashed its still a dream.

Clinton remind me the value of education despite all odds, commanding a prosperous country and adored by the world.
People who wants to dig dirt should start digging their home first - Such as Obama's yard baught from the slumlord.

Here is my message to Bill Clinton, to Hillary Clinton, and to Chelsea Clinton:
We did not like you in the '90s. We do not like you now. We do not like you in the future. We do not want to hear any more from your entire crooked thieving family.
Take the whole gang, and Barack Obama with you, and please do away. You are doing great harm to this country with your lies and half-truths. If this country is dumb enough to elect Obama we will have Osama bin Laden sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom before long.

Quote of the week from Sir Charles Barkley:
"Poor People have been voting for Democrats
for the last 50 years ... and they are still poor."
I agree with mjloehrer above: This is so wonderful! Watching Hill and Bill dry up and blow away is so exciting!!

And if Chelsea doesn't become President, maybe Bill can find someone else in his extended family - ANYONE who can possibly legitimize his legacy and give him a key to the White House.

You should all be a shamed of yourselves. Such hatred spewing forth on this site. Very Christian or whatever of you. You will truly get what you sew. What goes around comes around. Put a little love in your heart.
