I think it was a pretty poor choice by the questioner to ask Chelsea about this. Ask Hillary if you want, but don't drag Chelsea into it. She had nothing to do with the whole Monica Lewinsky debacle.

Chelsea did good by telling that person that was not their business. But Hillary, she said that she misspoke on the Sniper fire in Bosnia. No she didnot misspoke SHE LIED LIED LIED. Deceived the people of America. What eles has Hilliary LIED ABOUT.

Way to go Chelsea !!!!!dzyjne I agree with you.It is no ones business and you never know what you would do if you found out your spouse was cheating on you. And If they can work things out that is great!!! If you havn't experienced such a thing you should keep quite.

Come on Hillary supporters!

Let's stop even engaging in these "educated" blogs (right!)

It's obvious who the smart ones are.
Some of these comments are just stupid and ridiculous!

I say we don't waste our time – then they can start being rude to teach other.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"...an audience member asked the 28 year-old whether the Monica Lewinsky scandal had damaged her mother's reputation."

"I do not think that is any of your business."

Wrong answer.

Since your mother is running for president, how a well known scandal (in an administration she takes full credit for being a part of) affected her reputation is certainly fair game.

Having your mother running for president of the USA, I think it is everyones business for you to answer the question sweet heart.

If your father was impeached for lying to a grand jury over Monica.. you bet it is our business.

If American taxpayers had to spend 50 million in taxes, to investigate your father's lies then it is OUR business.

Sorry Chelsey, if you can't stand the heat, get off of the campaign trail. Your parents both have a lot to answer for to the American people.

ok here is a news flash is was BILL and NOT Hillary that had an affair and I don't know about everyone else but I would sure hate to be held responsible for everything my parents or my spouse did! So please get off this, it is old and unimportant. Hillary is going to win this nomination because she is the best person for the job. She is still working hard and Barack is lounging on the beach-hummm-what does that tell us? This man has not real sense of what it takes to be president, the abmount of hard wrok involved. Hillary does and I beg the rest of you to wake up and realize he is very good at giving speeches but that is about it. Hillary is the only person to beat McCain in Nov. take another look at the national polls-the rest of the nation is waking up too. Hillary 08!

Totally inappropriate question in the first place, but of all people, Chelsea is in no position to answer it. Never should have been asked–what does it matter? Has nothing to do with anything! She handled the question very maturely and with dignity–good for her!

By: Hillary 2008

Hillary 2008 — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:10:29 +0000

Wow! This is great answer to punch those Obama's stupid supporters' faces!

Chelsea is an outstanding girl among our age!

You are a great daughter as well!

Go Hillary ! God bless you!

By: Cindy

Cindy — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:10:09 +0000

Good for you Chelsea! That really was the right answer.

Regardless if her mom is running for public office or not, both Chelsea and Hillary have a right to privacy about this issue.

Bill on the other hand, does not. I don't think he would have handled the question as well as Chelsea did, either.

Chelsea is not a child. However, she is Hillary and Bill Clinton's child. As a father I would never put my daughter in such a position as they have put their daughter. But, that being said, the questions about the Monica days will keep on coming and if they don't want their child to have to deal with this, they need to take her out of the line of fire.

By: stanley

stanley — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:09:32 +0000

I'm for Obama 100%, but good for Chelsea. She responded to that one perfectly. I'm just sorry she had to deal with it at all.

By: Bubba

Bubba — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:08:15 +0000

Hillary must divorce Bubba. He is a detriment to her; not as a political hack, but as a "husband." She knows she must do this to save whatever "honor" she has left. This would be a powerful event, for women and men alike.

By: 4REAL

4REAL — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:08:14 +0000

Actually she needs to be prepared and answer the question whether they like her response or not. Now that she is grown Chelsea needs to know what type of life her parents lead while she was a child.

Good for Chelsea but boo to her parents. Either they shouldn't have let her campaign or they should have prepared her to answer the question.

Chelsea's father was the 2nd President impeached by the House. She will have to deal with that fact – and this kind of question – for the rest of her life.

Gawd, she sounds like her mother!

Watch Hillary squirm this week. Getting caught in yet another lie, and being pressured by even more Dems to step down.

Of course the lie will blow over and she'll lie again, and she'll stab Obama many more times in the back and other parts of his body in her attempt to get ahead. America is tired of her. Let's get on with this nomination and get on with life.

There's more to life and this country than Hillary Clinton!

It was her right to say NUNYA. However, high politicking is a serious business. Perhaps that was the best thing to say. Obviously, her parents have enough faith in her to actually tour. That says a lot to me.

be interesting to see if the person who asked yhe question is an obama supporter. kind of gutter politics. i wonder what skeletons are in the clost of the person who asked that question

By: Joan

Joan — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:06:32 +0000

Another thought. Surely as we get further into the gutter in this campaign someone is surely going to question how we are that President Bill Clinton would not during a potential Hillary Clinton presidency have another fling. Is there a way to impeach a First Spouse?

It's our business when it comes to the governer of New York, so it is certainly our business when it comes to the President of our nation. A few people in this country do still believe in morals ... I hope!

By: John Kay

John Kay — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:06:15 +0000

Maybe she should avoid the question and answer section of the campaign. If not her father's infidelity will always put her on the defensive. Mr Bill; have you seen the pain you have caused your daughter?

By: Ginger

Ginger — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:05:59 +0000

HOORAY FOR CHELSEA!!!

I was so very proud of her in the way that she handled this tasteless question that has nothing to do with any actually important issue. I hope Wolf and Jack take a moment to give this young woman some credit for being better than any other "surrogate" (all be they older, more experienced, and supposedly wiser)

Too bad we can't elect her....yet...

By: Deirdre

Deirdre — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:05:42 +0000

How is that question relevant to the nominee's current campaign? Hillary Clinton certainly had no control over the extracurricular activities pursued by her husband & intern. Bill & Monica's rep obviously was damaged, and Hillary (for the most part) was pitied as the betrayed wife. I believe this was all hashed out years ago. It's not relevant anymore. It was simply an inflammatory comment made by a person who just wanted to watch their daughter squirm. It was rude, and voyeuristic in nature. I think Chelsea gave the best answer by saying "Not your business." I believe a more relevant question regarding Hillary's reputation should have been: "Do you think the WHITEWATER scandal damaged her mother's reputation..."

It was a fair question and she is an adult for heaven's sake. Sorry you can't weed out the obvious uncomfortable questions.

And just like her mom, evasive and or just refuse to answer. She could have just said NO ... lol .. hey they are on a lying streak .. like mother like daughter.

Whether anyone likes it or not if anyone thinks Bill's impeachment and the Monica story will not be replayed in the general election is on drugs.

Look, if she wants to be out on the trail with the big boys and girls then she needs to field the questions given to her. And frankly, as voters, it is our business to ask questions like this. It is a question of character. If everyone in the world can question Sen. Obama's character in regards to Rev. Wright then why can't the same character based questions be directed at Sen. Clinton? I think the realization that most of us democratic voters are coming to now is that this really IS going to split the party demographically come November. Maybe a month or so ago I would not have agreed with this statement, but now most certainly I do. I feel that their is growing animosity between supporters. If we don't just knock this crap off then we will fall dreadfully short of our one true unifying goal: a democrat in the White House.

Like wow. I think this is our business. These people are in the public eye and during the time in question our taxpayer dollars were footing their room and board.

The Clintons have a gigantic double standard, namely: they can say any scandalous thing they please about a perceived enemy, but noboby is allowed to say anything nasty about them, even if it is true.

Little Chelsea is an adult, and has been for some time. The press should treat her like one, period.

And, Senator Clinton should stop saying she is going to release her tax records soon. How about right now?

By: Robert, Los Angeles California

Robert, Los Angeles California — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:04:37 +0000

Good for Chelsea! It never should have been anyone's business to begin with. Being a personal matter it should have never been made into the scandal that it was. Especially with the likes of Newtie Gingrich pointing fingers while having an affair behind his wife's back.

I'd take those days back in exchange for what the puppet of Dick Cheney in the White House has done to our country today.

Don't be suprised if Hillary will make this a victim card for her campaign.

I will not vote for Hillary, but if Chelsea is in the spotlight for her mother...don't be bothered by people who want to ask about your family business.

The tough questions need to be answered. There will probably be a response to this question coming in a few days from the Clinton camp and it will be in the news for a couple weeks and then something else will happen to someone in either Obama's or Clinton's camp and that will drag on for some time. I for one found myself very excited at the beginning of this campaign but now find that the more stuff like this that goes on is really tiresome and quickly becoming boring. I wish we could just decide who will be the next democratic nominee and get Bush out of office.

By: CMA

CMA — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:03:43 +0000

to all those saying it had to be an Obama supporter who asked the question...Have you thought about it perhaps being a Clinton operative that asked the question so that her daughter could respond in the way she did and play the old "victim card"???????????????

Do YOU hate the U.S. that much that You are willing to DESTROY the U.S.A. with 4 MORE YRS. with ANOTHER Bush—-

Is Obama getting desperate? Can't he find any other way to damage Hillary? What is that Lewinsky old re-heated cutlet about? Sure, we all know that Clinton got a BJ back then, but this was Bill, not Hillary, for heaven sake. Give me a break!

I don't understand the love affair with Obama? Somebody help me with this... He claims to be above it all and not the typical politician but all he shows over the past few weeks is that he is a typical politician. He claims that he has judgement- we now know that's been a lie. He has little experience,all he can do is stand up and deliver a good speech. When he has to answer a direct question without any teleprompter he studders. He got all "shaken up" over the Wright controvercy. I don't want that in the white house.

Please explain why we are voting for him??

That person who asked that question had to be either a Obama supporter of a Clinton hater. I wonder what the response from the Obama supporters would be if Obama was asked, if he thought it was proper to bring his children into a Church where their pastor preached hate.
