It IS our business. And people SHOULD NOT vote for Clinton because her HUSBAND signed NAFTA into law. In fact, both the Dems and the Repubs are responsible for it, which is why I have decided not to vote for Obama after all. A 3rd party candidate will get my vote in November. I'm no longer fooled by this two-party system.

"If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen." (Hillary Clinton)

Listen to your mother, quit campaigning if you can't handle the heat. That is a perfectly legitimate question, more so than Obama having to answer all of these Reverand Wright allegations. Get off of your high horse Chelsea, how are are you now, 27? Last time I checked that means you are an adult now.

Well, I hope the kids learn from this and listen to her - this is NOT about her father - this IS about her mother and her mothers abilities to lead this nation. Wish the Camp Obama club of that age would just grow up!

Good, I hope this chinless wonder gets that question every time. If her mother is running for the highest office in the land–it's fair game. First of all, Bill had the affair in the Oval Office–a place of public business. We were paying for his salary while he was at work, having an affair.

Grow up Chelsea, either you're going to be mommy's little girl or a grown-up surrogate. You can't have it both ways.

The press has been giving her a free ride. If I have my way, her parents will not crawl back into the White House.

Chelsea is right to tell these busy-bodies to mine their own business. Yes, it was a terrible thing for her to have to endure. I would hate to be reminded constantly of the painful periods in my life. There is no present justification for the public to rub salt in an old wound! It is just plain impolite!

William Ayers…people! William Ayers!

Educate yourselves on the atrocious judgement of Obama before it's too late.

Come on people, this is old news. Get over it already. Bill Clinton is not running for President. Stop obsessing on this issue already. It is really getting tiring and boring.

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good for Chelsea, the only reason she is being asked is to get a reaction out of her.
I think there are much more important questions to be asked.
a-Bill is not running.
b- A man cheats and that brings the wife under question.
Come-on people.

On the one hand she is a 27-year-old adult who's putting herself out into the public but on the other hand.. c'mon, what does Chelsea's opinion have to do with Hillary v. Barack? It's not her fault that her pops is a chauvinistic pig.

Personal Issue?
I thought the standard Clinton Household answer was supposed to be "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!".
Get this little girl off the stump…her level of maturity needs working on.
My daughter is younger than her, better educated, brighter and will never see the life of priviledge that mummy and daddy have laid out before her.
Don't hide behind your family when its convenient for you Chelsea…GROW UP politics IS a public game!

I hope that the poor judgement of the student asking the question follows him into the workplace when he graduates.

I certainly would not want him as am employee.

campaigning for a candidate Chelsea is open game for ANY question. Her not answering it is just like her elitist mother, who hasn't paid the bills for health care for her campaign workers. Hillary's campaign finances are in shambles I can't wait until she gets elected and finishes ruining the country.

There are a lot of stupid people out there. CNN should not promote these people.

Monika Lewinsky was the sole receiver of Hillary's wrath.
Bill wasn't at fault. The women were. Hillary was not going
to give up her role a First Lady, Money, Power and Prestige.
There were many women and the Clinton's blamed the women
not Bill. I am surprised Monica did not have to wear the letter
"A'" on her back. And women of America want to repeat this era.

Chelsey, the questions are probably coming and we can blame
the questioner. Actually Chelsey has put herself in a vunerable
situation here.

Retired, Professional White Woman of 63 for Obama from Day 1.

The student is right asing the question. It is a public matter because he is the face of our whole country. If a president was taking money from his coworkers or friends, if he was liar, or alcoholic, or drug addict… all those things do matter, just like his affair with another woman while his wife is few rooms down. If a person is not honest in their private life, what makes people tink they'll be honest in their public life?!

Good! Then all those bilnd Clintonites who have voted for and supporter HRC becausce of Billwinsky should reverse their votes/supports.
Chelsea said it loud and clear, "people should "vote for or against my mother because of my father".
Vote for/against HRC because 1. She's divisive 2. She lies 3. She's calculating……

Chelsea should not have to answer that question. I support Hillary but I would never ask a similar question if the situation was with Obama to his kids. It is just a matter of being rude.

There is no way for Chelsea to answer that question nor should she.

Spitzer and the new Governer of NY is our business…Detriot Mayor is our business and so is Monica Lewinsky. If you run for public office…Little Clinton - Get ready. You will be scrutinized for everything…..It is our business.

Why does the whole Lewinsky thing matter again? It was blown out of proportion at the time and is completely irrelevant now.

Chelsea's answers to these questions are starting to sound like male-bashing. She clearly favors her mother over her father.

She should be made painfully aware by now that she's part of the controversy whether she likes it or not. Thicker skin helps to deflect these comments, but being a Clinton, she'll never be able to avoid them entirely. Suck it up, girlie- you're a Clinton.

Why should Chelsea get special treatment with questions? The news networks have been following all over themselves for the last week to show the answers to all of her "cutsie questions"–like will Mommie Dearest make a better President than Daddy Dearest. It is sad that the news networks are not giving her the same treatment that any other surrogate for the candidates would receive.

probably a plant to try and get traction for the Clinton campaign, doesn't seem to work I hope people keep asking her.

Well, well how interesting….

Several weeks back when something was said about Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton said it was ok to bring it up, it was a matter of public record after all, and it really did happen.

Now, Ms. Clinton states it is a private matter.

Hmmmmm! once again changing the rules to fit their own need and agenda…..so sad.

It is real, it did happen, and it should be up for discussion for those of us that have questions on what Mr. Clinton will be doing if he has the opportunity to be back in the White House.

Obama 08

Clintons, please go away!!!!! OBAMA 08′

The question asked was awful behavior on the students part, just wanting reconization. The issue has absolutley nothing to do with Hillary or this election.

Oh Snap! Not once but twice in the same week! Answer the question Chelsea. You're not 12 anymore, are you? Or is this just grown-up stuff?

Chelsea better get off the campaign trail if she thinks this isn't going to continue.

Of COURSE there are things about family that should remain personal, but you give up that privacy when you become a public figure being elected into the highest office. We have a right to know the details of their relationship, since as it stands, it appears to be a relationship of political power and convenience, not of the love/strength/honesty that should be demonstrated by the First Family.

NO DO OVERS!

Now that you Botched it the first time and showed us the " I am better than you " Clinton style we are not going to buy your NEW PREPARED ANSWER given to a PLANT.

Nice try

I don't think Chelsea should be speaking on behalf of her mother because she is not a seasoned enough liar. She will have to learn to shoot from the hip. That was a misfire.

This young student is just out for attention. The first student to ask Chelsea the Monica Lewinsky question was invited on numerous shows and got his 15 minutes of fame. This subject is off limits and is no one’s business, so stop asking.

Big yawn as no one cares what the princess says to questions that are planted by Clinton supporters.

Just leave it alone.. Hillary is not going to win anyway…..

i dont think its a question for her to answer.. i think if anyone should answer that question it should be directed to the people who were involved such as hillary and Bill.. but even so, what had happend has no relevance to what Hillary can offer us in this campaign. Leave Cheslea alone and stop bugging her about something that im sure traumatized her. No one wants to talk about their parent committing adultry. Even if he did it or not.. It just annoys me for people to ask something when they know what answer they will get..I would have given the same response as she did.. and based upon what she said anyways has no reflection on Hillary because Cheslea is the one not running.. so RIP with all the Monica questions, dang.

As an Obama supporter, I am absolutely disgusted by the way these students keep nagging Chelsea about Bill. First of all, Bill was a dog for all of his womanizing and cheating scandals, but that had nothing to do with Hillary or the public for that matter. Bill Clinton was an excellent President despite the scandal. The scandal had nothing to do with the way the country is ran nor the personal lives of the American people. (PERIOD). I said that 10 years ago, and I'll say it here and now. This election should be about the issues and not who can smear one another the best.

While I rerspect Senator Hillary Clinton for her being a fantastic First Lady and an awesome US Senator, I do, wholeheartedly believe that Senator Barack Obama is the best choice for President of the United States.

Obama 08!!! (Democrats United)

These questions about Lewinsky are entirely inappropriate.
Obama 08

THE WHOLE SORDID AFFAIR WAS NOT, NOT, NOT, PERSONAL.

HER FATHER WAS IMPEACHED. THERE WAS NOTHING PERSONAL

ABOUT THAT. AND WE GAVE HILLARY THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT

UNTIL SHE STARTED WITH HER GUTTER TACTICS, WHICH HAVE

BECOME A CLINTON TRADE MARK. SHE WAS WITH MOM WHEN

MOM WAS DODGING BULLETS IN BOSNIA. GIVE ME A BREAK

I don't believe that the student that asked the question was a Hillary supporter. I believe Chelsey has every right not to answer this question and I sure wish the people who would stoop so low would get the same treatment for something like this in their life.
Carol, Oh.

Once Hillary Clintons decided that it was okay for Chelsea to get on her campaign trail, it pretty much meant then its in the public's hands. Her father served in a public office and his misdeeds were public viewed around the world. If he had wanted to keep this matter private he should have done it in a private place. My advice to Chelsea and the other Clintons is to gear themselves up for harder questions related to Monica L. They cannot dismiss it or wish it away!

I agree with Chelsea–the Clinton personal life is no one elses business. But I suppose now that it has started, half the nuts around will be asking her about it. I hope not. GO, HILLARY!

People should leave this poor girl alone.I wonder how they would feel if everone was asking personal questions about their families.I would vote for Bill again. After 7&1/2 years of boy george, I would vote Clinton's dog.

Her mother is running based on Bill's experience, so Bill's experiences are relevant. It is also relevant to the character issue which has arisen after Hillary's recent gaffes involving the Tuzla, Bosnia, sniper (non)event, her strong and active support of NAFTA as disclosed by her own appointment book, etc. Very simply: If Hillary can't keep Bill in check in the next room, how can she possibly deal with rogue dictators half a world away?

But the whole *experience* thing is so bogus anyway: Under Hillary's rationale, Yoko Ono was a Beatle.

Of course it's the public's business.

The President is the most powerful individual on Earth, with the ability to send men and women into harm's way.

He or she is our country's head of state and (supposedly) chief law enforcement officer.

While in office, everything that may affect his or her actions should be subject to public scrutiny and comment.

Since Chelsea has decided to campaign on behalf of her parent, she should understand that.

If she doesn't want to address the questions and concerns of the public, she should go back to that Wall Street hedge and her six-figure income.

She gave the absolute right answer. Good for her.

Personal, yes.
Our business, absolutely. Bill Clinton lied under oath as President of the United States.

When you are a political figure nothing is none of our business. Learn politics before representing one.

If the younger Clinton thinks this is not of the publics' business, she should grab her parents and hold up in Chappaqua! Get out of public life and out of politics, lest Bill's "Slcik Willy" past is fair game! So is Hillary's lying, exaggerating and not paying those campaign debts that are mounting!

These students are just trying to get atention. I think they forget That Hillary is running not Bill.

It's interesting that these questioners are both MALES!!!!

I didn't beleive the country was more sexist than racist until just now!!!!

This election (especially democratic) is becoming a long episode of American Idol. I'm so over b/c this primary is not about politics. Everyone is voting for someone based on if they look like her or him and it's getting ridiculous. This is the most important job on the planet people. I'm hoping that the people who will not vote for Obama b/c he is black or Clinton b/c she is a woman will cancel the people who will only vote for them for that reason. Then it will come down to the people who are actually following the politics of the election.

One last thing- I'm so tired of Clinton and Obama state how great it is that record numbers of people are showing up to vote. This is not necessarily a good thing. Most of these people know nothing about what the candidate stands for, they just know that they look like them. That is not good for this country at all.

Chelsea is to self composed and intelligent for someone to try and trick her into making a gaf. She will be hounded until election day now but she will not bow. Good for Chelsea Hillary 08-16

As I said before it is an honest question. Someone should answer it. Although umm Bill would probably still say he did not have sexual relations with that woman. Wonder if he will take his own words to heart and CHILL OUT. To have been one of the two presidents impeached out of all presidents we have had speaks volumes to me. Obama answered tough questions about his preacher so why shouldnt Hillary answer about her husbands past? If they do answer it I would have to wonder though how much truth is actually in the response.

Obama 08

If Chelsea cannot answer such questions, she should not be on the road campaigning for her mother. She must understand that she views her mother in the context of a mother, wheareas others see her and Bill Clinton in a more negative light. I really feel sorry for Chelsea. Neither of her parents should have her out there. If Hilary became the candidate, the questions will become more severe and nasty.

OBAMA SUPPORTER

This kid obviously just wanted some attention. He planned to do this bc he saw all the coverage the kid from Butler University was getting by the media. How sad!!! I feel bad for this loser!!!

The Clintons are all alike, liars and they think they are above the law.

If she can't take any question and turn it around to be a positive, she doesn't belong on the campaign trail. She's not a little girl anymore. What will she do now? Limit the questions to only come from third graders? If these college kids want an answer to their question, they really should just go to a Hillary rally and ask her.

Why does she get to have it both ways?

Like her mother, she wants the good part of their legacy, while denying the negative.

She is running like a 24/7 tv ad for her mother, and that is an unfair advantage for some one who already has so m any advantage in the race.

It's just wrong.

I feel sorry for Chelsea. She has 2 overbearing and dishonest parents to try to defend on a constant basis.

If you are on thestmp for a candidate all is fair game of course she is only 28 yrs old and just a kid who we shouldn't ask adult questions of!!!

Good, the reporters should start asking questions as well. She should get off the campaign trail if she doesn't want to take questions.

They need to prompt her on how to answer this question. She is the daughter of the former president that did have this scandal follow him and his family, and it is fair to ask, Bill will be living in the White House again as first man, therefore it is revelant.

Moreover, I agree the the statement the person made about why they asked the question. As Americans it seems we have forgotten, so many other politicans careers were ruin and they will never be in politics again, why not Bill? He should never be allowed in any capacity in the White House. Bill is Hillary's choice she was not born with him, so as she made it clear that Obama chose his pastor, so has she choosen Bill Clinton, why not divorce him?

Double standard I guess, it always has been for the Clintons

Why should a child have to answer for his/her parents personal life? How can people be so insensitive? There was a lot of good done during the first Clinton administration. Chelsea was only a child at the time. Give her a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The student has a point when defining the president as "chief citizen". It's unfortunate that Chelsea has to field these questions, but she has been put on the campaign trail by the Clinton staff, so it seems fair that the taboo situation creation by the former president is fair game.

I think it is in poor taste to ask a young woman about her father's sexual relationship with an intern. However, the students have a point, it is relevant to the political discussion, as many people believe that the president should have a certain moral standard. What I don't understand is why the Clinton's put their daughter in this position. If she is speaking on behalf of her Mother, she is going to be asked some difficult questions. All in all, it just seems like a poor judgment on the Clinton's part.

Chelsea Clinton is 28 years old now, and if she want's to play with the big kids, then she needs to grow up and get out of this (I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I) attitude. It is the public's business what goes on in the White House. Chelsea, you are not eight years old anymore. This was your second chance to show good character and like your parents, you failed also. Transparency is not a Clinton trait no matter what generation they are from.

Not a fan or supporter of the Clintons but the mistakes of 1998 should be left between husband, mistress, and wife. Chelsea shouldn't have to answer any questions regarding Bill's affair. Once was enough and I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Hillary still sucks.

She is just the daughter of her mother, sticking to what she said before, even though it was the wrong thing to say in the first place.
I see this situation should have been a great opportunity for her to reflect on Hilary's strength instead of arguing back the questioners.
Chelsea; if you realize kid; you are pushing away supporters.

ENOUGH OF HER…IF CHELSEA WANTS TO PLAY IN THE BIG LEAGUE SHE NEEDS TO GROW UP FAST. HE FATHER WAS IMPEACHED DUE TO HIS ACTIONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOT HIS PERSONAL BEDROOM OR RESIDENCE. THIS IS A MATTER OF RECORD. HE LIED UNDER OATH AND WAS ALMOST CONVICTED. COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO WERE YOUNG AT THE TIME DESERVE TO KNOW. CHELSEA NEEDS TO GET USED TO THE QUESTIONS. ONCE AGAIN…HILLARY NOT PREPARED. SHE SHOULD HAVE PREPARED CHELSEA FOR THIS.

Just keep avoiding the question , I am sure people will stop asking.

ha ha. .

I have to agree with Chelsea Clinton not wanting to talk about this as part of this campaign. From her point of view and Hillary Clinton's point of view this is an intense personal matter that caused a great deal of pain at the time. If these questioners want to talk about the political impact of Lewinsky on Bill Clinton, then they should have the courage to go talk to him about it. It is totally improper to question the daughter, who is after all, out supporting her mother.

Chelsea, get a clue. What your dad did IS the public's business. Had he done what he did in his bedroom or a motel, that is one thing. But he used a respected office of the United States, the Oval Office, and disrespected it and all of America. How can you be shocked that people care about this? Seems to me that he was impeached for this offense.

To Chelsea & Hillary,
Chelsea, your are an adult and have chosen to help your mother with her campaign, so all questions are fair. You may not think it appropriate about your fathers' affair, but he was president at the time and that is fair game. Your mothers' decision to "stand by her man" is her decision, however, it does affect how many people feel. Bill Clinton just plain lied over and over again while in the white house. I have no respect for his lies - those were lies, not mis-statements. If you are going to campaign for your mom, you need to accept all the criticism that comes with the territory.

No one cares. Hillary Clinton is the one running for office. I'm not concerned with Bill Clinton's prior infidelities during this election.

Obama '08

This is a legitimate question and Chelsea Clinton does her family a great disservice in brushing off people the way she is doing.

Some one ought to bring up this question with Bill also as he traverses the country for HRC.

Maybe they also spy on their own Parents,
Personal and Private Lives. The Problem Child? Is not Chelsea.

If Chelsea doesn't want to be asked tough questions, then she shoudn't be a surrogate to her mother. She's almost THIRTY YEARS OLD and cannot even respond with grace. She acts like she's in her sweet sixteen. Give me a break!

Can somebody tell me who really cares about Chelsea Clinton's campaigning? What is she doing, getting ready to run when Mom steps down in eight years?

Oh, I forgot - that plan has kind of been blown to bits….

While I agree what Bill Clinton did with that Woman! has nothing to do with what Hilary is doing on her campaign, I do, however, believe if Chelsea is going to be on the front lines speaking in support of her mother's campaign, she needs to come up with a better response than, "it's none of your business." to this now famous question. She should come up with a dignified answer and move on because until she does, the question will not go away.

Interesting response from the younger Clinton. I understand that it hurts, but someone should have taken the time to coach her with a more mature response.

Good for Chelsea! She handled both of these unsensitive questions exactly right

Liar!

When running for president I guess you need to be prepared for any question. Obama has been asked some big ones lately…

I would like to know Senator Clinton's response as to how she feels about lying under oath… because of the personal nature I can see why Chelsea was taken aback!

Well Chelsey,
Get over it. Since your mother is mainly using your father to get in the whitehouse then I think they are a package and the question is valid. You can' t separate Bill from Hillary not when her platform has mainly been on his experience in the White House.

The only truly decent thing the Clintons ever did was to keep Chelsea out of the spotlight. Now their score is zero.

Chelsea..if the public is in Elliot Spitzer's business then Lewinsky is definitely fair game. Has Bill cheated on Hillary lately? Was Lewinsky an isolated affair or did Bill have many? What will Hill do to keep Bill under wraps if she somehow by way of miracle becomes President?

Fact: Bill Clinton had a fling with Monica Lewinsky. End of story. Why ask such a question of the former first daughter. This idiot thinks it's our business because Clinton was the President when it happened? Should we also know daily bowel movements, allergies, birthmarks etc. Because one is in the public eye does not mean they relinquish any privacy at all. Not to mention how tacky to ask the daughter about these things. I smell a plant in the audience.

Who cares? Hillary is the best candidate so she would be President! Alles.

If Hillary wasn't trying to take so much credit for the experience she gained during Bill's time playing with interns then I might agree with her. As a concerned citizen I am very interested in how Hillary deals with tough situations and by putting Chelsea out there to stump for Ma…well the tough questions are going to be asked. Instead of hiding behind that false curtain of privacy this is now twice that Chelsea really could have come up with a strong answer that would have helped her mom instead of reminding everyone that the Clinton's think they're above the rest of us.

Are you wraped in plastic? You represent Hillary and have to get these questions if you like them or not.
Its the way your family operates. Why can't you be asked questions? Sacred Cow?
Everyone else is fair game so why not you

Her mother should give a speech to address the issue …

The claim by the Butler student that the quesiton was to show the strenght of Hillary Clinton is something invented at the last moment to ustify his mishap. The evidence (not gossip, evidence) says that Hillary Clinton went from First Lady to NY senator defeating shoe -ins in the mean time, so his credibility was increased not diminished. so what other intention had it if not to bother Chelsea?

This one is staged by the student.

JFK, MLK, Gandhi all public figures cheated on their spouse….

But all men and their wife are strong people.

THIS WAS A RIDUCULOUS ATTEMPT BY THE STUDENT TO GAIN AIRTIME….just watch out for karma

Ok, this is starting to get really stupid. Another kid is trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

When the President of the United States is impeached for a scandal, it is our business.

"If you're not willing to take on tough questions, stay off the campaign trail."-Bill Clinton, March 2008

Like mother, like daughter. Chelsea, if you are a campaign surrogate be prepared to answer the tough questions on behalf of your mother.

Your father's immoral conduct stunned this country so much that it laid the ground work for George Bush. I don't think this country can handle another George Bush or another Clinton type of scandal.

Probably a more important question to ask, is how can your mother be the working man's defender for health care when she has not paid her campaign worker's health care premiums for the last two months? Sounds like judgment that we don't need.

Who cares about Lewinsky. Bill lied under oath. But, Chelsea makes a great point, don't vote FOR or against Hillary because of her husband. Too many people think that because Hillary (sometimes) slept with Bill it qualifies her to be president. It doesn't.

GOOD FOR YOU CHELSEA. PERSONAL BUSINESS IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS.MAYBE PEOPLE WILL GET THIE HINT AFTER AWHILE. NOBODY GETS INTO O.B.'S PERSONAL LIFE.THATS HOW THIS RACE HAS BEEN FROM THE BEGINING. BIAS AGAINST HRC.

It ended being a personal family matter when the President was impeached for lying. She is 28 years old and stumping for her mother. Grow up and answer the question.

Chelsea should stay away from the campgaign if she doesn't want to answer tough questions. She's almost 30 years old. Why can't she answer with some grace?

Yes Chelsea there are things about my family that I don't think are anybodys business. That's why my family was smart enough not to choose a public life! Bill was PRESIDENT, SO IT'S EVRYBODYS BUSINESS!!! Tell him he should have thought of that before.

Ms. Chelsea,

This is important to the American people because we need to know when your father had the chance to catch Bin Laden was he too busy at the time or was he just incompetent.

He was in the peoples' government office doing other business besides what we elected him to do. It would be a private matter if he did that at his own house but we pay for him, his secret service, and anything else that he is involved in so that is why it is our business. Example, if you have sex on your job and you get caught what will the company do to you? FIRE U. If you are liable for something bad happening you can be sued. She could have been working for the Chinese government and maybe that is why he gave them all our nuclear secrets for a quickie.

When your a public figure.. personal is everyones business. It goes along with the territory no matter if you like it or not. So if you cant take the heat get out! That means Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea. She shouldnt be campaigning if she cannot take the heat that goes along being in the public eye. That goes for all the Clintons. They have alot they have dished out over the years yet they cant take it.

What about Obamas Preacher? Is that not personal to Obama? Is not that something that is None of Hillarys business to talk about? Hypocritical if you ask me.

So why dont the clintons just quit and do what is best for the rest of the nation?

For the love of God, people! Enough with the Lewinsky questions! Does she really need to relive this over and over again?

I THINK SHE WAS RIGHT WHAT HER HUSBAND DID. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER . LOLA

If the Monica Lewinsky scandal is nobody else's business but the Clintons', then Rev. Wright's comments are nobody else's business but the Obamas'.

She needs to address the issue. Her reaction is just going ot increase the questions.

The Monica Lewinsky scandal is definitely a fair incident to bring up in a Presidential Campaign. No one is slandering her mother because her husband cheated on her while in the White House, but Americans have a right to know everything about their Commander and Chief. How she reacted to this scandal can give us great insight into her character. Chelsea needs to stop insulting the intelligence of college students and others by giving the childish response "its none of your business". Like Hell it isnt!

Mrs. Clinton constantly sights her time as First Lady as the reason she has more experience than Barack Obama thus she has an obligation to speak on the good and bad incidents during that time. The White Water scandal, Bosnia and Monica Lewinsky to name a few. The question is completely fair game and Chelsea will field more questions on this topic if she continues to insult voters and deny it isn't America's business.

Hold on a second… Just last week her dad was implying that Obama shouldn't be in politics if he can't take the jabs. The Clinton's all clamor for the spotlight, then tell us it's none of our business when they get it.

why are Obama supporters so hate filled and divisive, that they would ask this woman such a horrible question. Ask Bill, ask Hillary, but don't put her in that position, and it doesn't matter what she thinks about the affair. I thought right wing loons were obsessed with Bill Clinton's sex life, but they can't hold a candle to the apparent obsession about it by Obama supporters. We used to laugh at the right wing crazies, now we're laughing at you!

Whether Chelsea likes it or not, how Hillary Clinton handled the scandal is relevant to the campaign. It leaves a very sour taste in my mouth to think of the possibility that she remained married to Bill Clinton simply for political positioning. Not only is that possibility repellent from a moral standpoint, but it would also be a slap in the face to those of us who cannot get married in the first place. Her political career is a more valid reason to be married than two people loving each other? If she doesn't want to answer the question, fine, but it IS our business.

Ms. Clinton needs to address the question.

Bernie Moore-Knowles
Papa'aloa, Hawai'i

It is no one's business - I agree.
And for those of you who are confused, Bill is not running for President…
Hillary is.
He and Chelsea are speaking on her behalf just like Michelle Obama, or Mitt Romney's sons did, or Oprah! or any other surrogate for that matter…

Good for you Chelsea!
Get over it America - that was a PERSONAL situation 15 years ago that unfortunately had to be aired - he screwed up - not Hillary. How would any of you like it if your very personal life was aired all over the country and worldwide.
NONE of you would be elected to office! Mostly because of the hate that's been written in these blog posts. Better watch it - your words could come back to haunt you one day - how would that feel?
Hillary is her own person, with a strength that many wish they had. And many admire her for it. At least half of the country!

Confronts wouldn't be the word I would use… More like avoids.

THANK YOU.
Her Father has to agree on this as well with his "saddle up" and make an argument comment. An entire generation of voters has to be educated on what happend with the clinton administration and how Hillary attacked Monica Lewinsky and tried to ruin her.

Go back to your hedge fund job where u make money on the sub-prime debalce chelsea. On the stumping circuit no one cares who your parents are.

she is just turning to be like her mother. little ms. clinton you and you're family are public figure so it is our business to know what's going on in your family tight lying circle.

Good for her! It is no one elses business!

Go Chelsea! Tell them how it is!

Hillary 08′ 12′

Chelsea doesn't think people should vote for or against her mother because of her father. But isn't Hillary running on her husband's coat tails as an extension of Bill's Administration? Isn't this where Hillary is claiming most of her experience to take that 3 AM phone call? I was for Billary at the beginning, but 'they' are making me tired and just disgusted. Billary you can't have it both ways. If you want to claim the good parts of Clinton I for Clinton II, then you must embrace the scandal to impeachment as well!

This person was obviously trying to start problems. It isn't their business because nothing illegal happened, and it isn't Bill running for office, its Hillary. ANY citizen, even chief citizen has a right to privacy behind closed doors.
And besides, why ask Chelsea?
Some people dislike Hillary Clinton out of personal bias, not because they disagree with her on issues, policies, leadership abilities. This is a disgusting shame.

Chelsea is campaigning for her mother and therefor has to answer questions that are uncomfortable and somewhat private. If she has a problem with that, she should stay home. I don't think its the public's business that her father cheated, but more so the fact that he lied under oath to the entire nation. I can imagine that this is very hard for Chelsea, but then again, she is campaigning and she can't just pick what ever suits her. Plus Chelsea isn't the "little" girl anymore that needs to be protected. Also, her answer that everybody has something "private" going on that they do not want to share with the public, doesn't make sense as we are not running for president, nor are we the president of the US. We should expect higher moral standards from a president.

Her first time answering the question was to deliver an obviously well rehearsed terse reply and she was just waiting for the moment to let it fly in all its glory. Anyone could tell Chelsea was waiting to make mom and dad proud that she could put that an unsuspecting college student "in his place". Well, I wonder how her Dad feels knowing his daughter has to be rude to people on his behalf for such an act. I'd feel ashamed for the rest of my life.

Just like her mother, she can't give a straight answer.

Of course CNN.com wants to post this. Anything to make a mockery of the Clinton family. Hillary is a very strong, tenacious candidate. I hope she wins.

I don't like to make comments. I feel that I'm judging someone and we all have our faults however, I feel that someone who has had a sex scandle in the White House should ever be let back in the White House. Not that it is Hillary's fault. But knowing her husband is in the White House after what happened with the Monica Lewinsky scandle. It is a matter of respect.

The Lewinsky incident should be put to rest. Even though, I support Senator Obama, people should stop asking about Monica L. Give it a rest!!

It's also our business because it was taking place in the White House and involved an intern to the White House. I have formerly admried Chelsea, but if she can't handle these questions and can't see why the public feels it's our business, she should stay home. Besides, by refusing to answer the questions, she's begging for more of the same. I know that at the WA Caucus I attended, many of the femals there said they couldn't support Hillary because she had chosen to stay with Bill instead of kicking him to the curb. Sorry, Chelsea, but It is important and denying that it is is either stupid or naive.

it's a big shame for people who supported Mr Clinton when she keep lying she said she was shot at and CNN wouldn't talk about it but they will all talk about Obama. None is specking how she lied if someone could lie like this I wouldn't vote for a person like her she cannot be trusted. My God guide and protected Obama.

What WFC had done hasnt nothing to do with HRC running for President. Start looking more into O.B.'S life more. He is the one that has the closed book.I would be worried about electing a canidate you dont know enough about.There is a saying in this country. What you dont know wont hurt you. Think about it, before electing someone that you will regret later. HRC dosnt hide anything. Her book of life is opened for the whole world.Thats why the media and you haters use it against her.You all better come down from the big O.B. dream ,and come to reality. This is our lives you are putting in someone's hands you really dont know.

People, it's on public record. You can quit asking this question. Again, can we get back the issues?

If she doesn't want to answer the question, she needs to get off the campaign trail.

Sounds like the Obama supporters will stop at nothing to get him elected. Wow, and they accuse the Clinton's of that. So much for this "new" politics. It is just the same old poitics in a "new" package.

It is a rather "tacky" question but as long as Chelsea is out there campaigning for her mom she should be ready to address a number of different questions. "None of your business" doesn't cut it when the man perpetrating the act was President at the time and answerable to the American people, especially when he initially lied about it.

It's none of our business, but it is a disgrace nonetheless.

People DO NOT select their parents. However, they do selects their husbands…

Oh, for heaven's sake. You're back at this again. This is NEWS? Come on, CNN. Your bias is showing (again)–just a couple weeks of self-examination, and now you're back to this drivel?

Start reporting on the SERIOUS issues. Even The National Review was able to come up with 20 questions about Rev. Wright that the media should ask Sen. Obama.

What about the country heading into a near-Depression? Is this s&@t about Monica Lewinsky even remotely relevant to the challenges that will face the new President? Get real.

Hillary and Family and Crew - not any different than Bush and Crew!

Can't we find a candidate in this country to run for President that is worth something and doesn't have all the baggage to go with it! Yeesshhh,

Contrary to the Clinton's stand on this issue, it is public knowledge - it happened in the freakin oval office and therefore it makes it a valid topic of discussion.

Kind of looks like the Clintons all think a lot of like. Wonder if any of them actually knows what "sex" is.

If you choose to run for public office you should be prepared and accept the public scrutiny that comes along with it. Perhaps the Clintons shouldn't be shameless using Chelsea to campaign if she's not comfortable with it. Maybe her father should give her the same line about it being ok to have a 'spirited' discussion.

The people already know the truth that former President Bill Clinton has an affair with Monica Lewinski while her mom now Senator Hillary Clinton was in the White House. The fact is People need to forward that question to Hillary or Bill, Chelsea should not have to answer that question.

Leave Chelsea alone..

I am a Obama supporter. This is not Chelsea to answer.

It should say "North Carolina State" not sate.

If Chelsea is "pretending" to be a surrogate for her mother, then she should answer the questions asked by field - only college students. Authenticity is what American (including the younger generation - especially the younger generation) public is truly interested in. Lewinsky questions shouldn't be offensive to Chelsea… she is a grown women and she can not and shouldn't apologize for her parents…. I just wish she wasn't promoting them either!

Obama '08!

Grow Up Chelsea and answer the question, you're not 12 anymore and Yes it is everyone's business !

One sure measure of strenght of a presidential candidate is how she/he handels difficult situation PERSONL or not, and every American has the right to weigh that.

Any adult campaigining for that candidate, along with the candidate, should be ready to confront questions to that end. Shying away from answering that question makes the candidate looks weaker.

Being CONFRONTATIONAL as Chelsea (29 year old adult) did makes it look like the candidate is so week an unprepared that they don't even want the mention of the most difficult situation Hillary had to handle in her life.

I feel sorry for Chelsea that she is showing the early signs that she hasn't been fortunate enough to come out more straight forward than her devious parents.

Chelsea needs to chill out! She is not the cute little twelve year old living in the White House during the Clinton scandal years of 1992-2000. We all could understand her parents wanting to protect her childhood and maintain her privacy.

That was sixteen years ago and Chelsea is an adult who is 28 years old out in the public campaigning for her mom. The media is doing a grave injustice in giving this adult woman a free ride. She can't have it both ways.

Her father disgraced himself, his family and the entire nation with his affair with Monica Lewinski. Furthermore he "misspoke" to the nation and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Hillary had legal difficulties throughout the Clinton years and then has recently led the most negative, the most divisive and the most polarizing campaign among Democrats than any other candidate. Her advisor Carville recently attacked Hispanic Governor Bill Richardson. She recently "misspoke" about her so-called experience in Bosnia.

These are facts. Chelsea, needs to understand, that as unpleasant it may be, those facts are in the public domain and as such they are fair game. She either needs to chill out and answer the question or get out of the public campaign.

Typical from a "Cow College" NCSU is for losers.

She should just answer the darn question, then move on.
Its not going away. And if it really bothers her that much to have people ask questions about one of the most newsworthy events in the political history of her family then she should probably stop campaigning for her mother.

I'm sorry but even if the question was not nice, she could handle things much more maturely and professionally. Candidates get questions they don't like all the time. You can't eat your cake and have it. If they want to protect her then they need to take her off the campaign trail.

There just are people that won't let it go. They are the ones obsessed with it, not the majority.
Chelsea is right and she should stick to her answer. I think that none of them should justify any questions of it with an answer.
Move on to who is the best President who will manage our nations business.

A Plant maybe? Like the " iron my shirt".

Ms. Clinton, I adore you, my dear! This 42 year old guy has watched you grow up from a little girl into a heckuva person, so you've never left my heart!

To the "business": as long as it's the "business" of your mother whether or not gays can be married, then it'll be my "business" how your mother and father swing, who they swing with, and etc!

We straight? And mother cleared up on her gay marriage point-of-view for once and for all?

I wish I were at one of these Chelsea events and could ask her how it was like landing in Tuszla, Bosnia with her mother. Chelsea accompanied her mother on that trip. Mrs. Clinton "misspoke" when she said that they had to run for cover because the airport was under sniper fire. I'd like ask Chelsea her version of the events.

I must admit that I have no sympathy for this young woman. All those who speak publically for a candidate go through sometime harsh questioning. Very few ever tell the questioner, "It's none of your business…" particularly when related to a family not known for its forthrightness. If Chealsea Clinton is unable to handle the rigors public campaigning, she should rightly sit this one out. She wants it both ways — to be listened to and followed like an adult AND to be coddled and protected like a child.

Chelsea, do honestly think that you weren't going to be ask any question about that event? You of all people should be expressing your feeling about the situation and encouraging women to seek help if in any domestic violence etc.

Really, give it a rest already. I wouldn't want anyone asking my children about my sexlife in a public forum no matter how public my life may or may not be. It's uncalled for. It's old news. Give it a rest!

Firewall, Firewall
People should read at least 2-3 blogs BEFORE posting any "dumb message." I am still waiting for my answer from a Hillary fan!!

Someone out there still needs to let me know how Hillary is going to win this nomination. Texas and Ohio were the last set of Firewalls, so I heard, "meet me in Texas." Ohio and TX have come and gone!!!

Now, I hear, "meet me for a landslide win in PA." When will this madness stop? It is little wonder that the rest of the world laughs at our "mathematical abilities" in this country. We are in "fantasy land."

It amazes me how obsessed people still are with Bill and his escapades, meanwhile, Bush gets away with murder in the white house and no one is in the streets calling for impeachment.

JUST A FEW SMART FELLOWS THAT WANT TO GET ON CABLE t.v. CHELSIA IS CORRECT TO ANSWER WITH IT IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS, AND BILL IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT HILLARY IS.

In both cases I beleave that the student was looking for publicity . Neither Was Using their Heads. That or 1. they wanted to destroy Hillary Clintons Chances or 2. They thought it was smart or 3. they were paid to do it. In any case very much a low life.

When i am off work, calling a friend, and my boss ask me who am i calling? my answer can be, "it's none of your business."
When I am at work and my boss ask me the same question, i believe that my answer will be different.
People deserve correct answers on things we do while working for them.

Impeachment is NOT a personal matter, lying under the oath is NOT a personal matter and to my mind MUST be discussed in public.
Sexual infidelities on the other hand are indeed the "family" matter and should be dealt as such.
Many people are mixing up these two things including Chelsea.

Why don't you all quit trying to sabotage Hillary Clinton.

I'm sure we can all ask Obama something personal if we chose to be that silly and obnoxious. What all with his teenage mother and all her husbands

First, if Chelsea Clinton is out there stumping for her mother, she has a responsibility to answer questions. Not just from voters but from the press. If I were I member of the media, I would stop being cowed by the Clintons. I would ask Chelsea question after question and let her say she won't answer and show it on TV over and over.
Second, her father was IMPEACHED over the whole Monica scandal. That means it IS our business. How her mother handled it says a lot about her. It's fair game. If nothing else it's a reminder for us all about what the Clinton administration really was.

Why bother asking? Anybody knows that it would be difficult for her to answer. Can you imagine the amount of personal healing the family had to go through after that? She has a message. Let her deliver it no matter which candidate you support.

Did she really mena that?

"….vote for or against my mother because of my father"

Millions of people voting for Hillary today is because of Bill and what the 90s under his presidency was. It is not because some special qualities that Hillary posseses.

Infact, had it been Bill was not a President before and this Primary was between Hillary & Obama; she would have been wiped out long time ago.

How scuzzy was that? Leave the girl alone. Ask Bill if you really want to know. He was the one who acted poorly, not Chelsea.

Why is it that the News Casters say that Bill Clinton was impeached??? He was there through His whole Term!!!

Now the question about Chelsea : I don't think it is fair for anyone to mention about Monica… It was know ones business back then and still has nothing to d about this election… Why don't they ask questions on the issues???

Hey, you guys should leave the poor girl alone, What happened was totally not her fault, in fact, she was unaware of the situation, prior to its happening.
The fault is on the Clinton camoaign who decided and thought that bringing out the ex-president's daughter will do them any good. It wouldn't, The more she refuses to answer questions that bother the general public, and the more she insults plausible voters, the less likely she will live in the white house again. I dont think Clinton deserves to win, and I dont think it is fair that she throws her daughter into her already failed campaign.

Agree, that is not anyone's bussiness in terms of thie election. Especially when those kind question addressed to Chelsea. Keep ignor those people.

It's a legit question.

And clearly it isn't going away.

If Chelsea is going to be active in her mother's campaign, she's going to have to be open to answer any relevant questions that arise.

There is an old saying about the sins of the father that applies here.
The first question asked was silly–Did the incident hurt Hillary's reputation. What was wrong in the response was- it wasn't a question about the actual event. What was right about the response was- it is a personal family issue when it comes to Chelsea and her mother.
The new question- while note quoted in the article agian was not answerd properly- yes, wht the President did was a public issue, but has nothing to do with whether or not Hillary is qualified to be President.
People at rallies- step away from the microphone- turn on your brain- return the the microphone- now speak!

Do you think, maybe, if she answered one of these questions honestly, it would stop being a big deal? No one is asking her to delve into the intricacies of her parents' marriage, but simply her opinion on whether or not it hurt her mother's credibility — to which she could respond "that was her choice to make, and frankly, I couldn't say either way." Easy, done, but instead she's made national news twice for being rude to her supporters. It's a shame.

I guess she couldn't say that was the first time she got that question. Why doesn't someone get that poor vunerable girl off the campaign circuit so she doesn't have to be emotionally traumatized with questions we all know are going to be asked. Someone is making a very selfish request of her, unless she wants to be there and feels capable of handling tough questions, including those by the press. Then I say, welcome Chelsea, instead of, go home Chelsea.

It is okay, I am not going to hold my breath while my comments go through moderation.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND CAMPAIGN MONEY TO CAMPAIGN, YOU SHOULD BE MADE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS, STOP THIS "YOU CANT ASK ME A HARD QUESTION CRAP".

YOU'RE A BIG GIRL, YOU CAN ANSWER AN UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTION, THERE ARE A LOT YOUNGER MEN AND WOMEN DYING IN IRAQ IN OUR NAME RIGHT NOW,

SO JUST DROP THE INNOCENT ACT RIGHT NOW.

I think it is a fair question. She certainly has a right not to answer. But, she can’t criticize it as an irrelevant question.

Chelsea is being set up and I hope she doesn't take the bait.

But that's typical of Obama's supporters - oh so negative.

Screw American public, the small states, trust and even Clinton supporters we won't talk about things that could hurt our image…that's the Clinton motto.

Its disgusting to find students have no better and intelligent questions to ask. I believe that the standards that some of these students aim to achieve, is not that of their fellow students. What's more disgusting is that some of the so called respected news channel also descend to the low levels of these students in publishing them, and giving them importance in their news coverage. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT RELEVANCE THIS QUESTION HAS TO HILLARY CLINTON'S CANDIDATURE??

Well how many people actually have an affair. The only person who is allowed to ask this question if you yourself are pure at heart.!!!!!!! grow up!!!!!!! There are more important things then Bill Clinton did when he was the president. Why don;t you actually look into those records to check.

My grandmother always said "If you can't run with the big dogs, don't jump off the porch." Of course every family has private issues, but guess what, when you put yourself out there in full view of the public all bets are off. The entire world knows what happened!! Answer the question next time. Avoidance = weakness. I am no fan of Hillary but I am sure she would at least address the issue and not pull the "NYB" card. (Or at least made sure the questions were planted in advance as to avoid the issue.)

Why does Chelsea not see that her father was in office, voted in by the American public when he was impeached because of his disgraceful actions? AND IT IS OUR BUSINESS! As Hillary has ask us to hire her to be our next president, so did her dad. Boy did he let the people of this great country down. It may hurt , but as her father put it, if you don't want to take the hits on the football field, don't suit up! Don't go on the stump for your Mother and expect everyone to go soft on you because daddy says so. Looks like Hillary and Bill are not alone thinking they are entitled to the Oval Office.

Tired of the Clintons with their lies and their half-truths.
Hillary lied about her so-called sniper exerience in Bosnia, suggesting that she is better qualified for commander-in-chief. Chelasea was there but did not say "Mom, you're lying".
Bill disgraced America, this is not private family matter.

Is anyone really surprised by this? Hillary chose to ignore (or at least accept as part of the deal) Bill's numerous affairs. To ignore or accept for one's personal ambition does not demonstrate integrity.

As a father of two daughters, I'm all for a woman president, but Hillary is a disgrace to women everywhere.

Chelsea Clinton has chosen to enter the public arena, and these types of questions are fair game, legitimate inquiries. If Bill was a CEO engaging in these acts with an intern, he would have been fired. Plain and simple. Deal with it.

But dear chelsea, Everything that your mother has accomplished and has become was basically on the platform prepared by your father( Bill). She used that platform to launch her political career in US senate and now to be the president of USA. I believe people are supporting your mother not because of her experience in Bosnia but by the goodwill created by your father, about Clinton's family.
The reason why Hillary didn't leave Bill even when he cheated her again and again is because Hillary knew that she is nothing without BIll.

Oh great - another "Clinton's under stress" news bit.
Next in the formula: a heartwarming Obama moment.
Then include someone supporting Obama, while ignoring Hillary's supporters.
Then back to Clinton's under stress.

This bias is so obvious.
Hillary has lots of big and small name supporters - anyone remember the last article? without insinuations?

Hang in there Hillary!

Chelsea is showing lack of grit to confront reality. The said event occured at Oval house and cannot be a private family issue. One would think that after the first question on this issue last week, she would have prepared a sound answer to take advantage of the situation and change it to a positive….instead she thinks she deserves a free ride back to the white house. Wake up Chelsea and the Clintons and see reality the way America sees it. You are 28 years old…stop acting like you are still 12.

I agree with Chelsea Clinton, it is no ones business what happened between her mother and her father in the matter of Monica Lewinsky. She is their daughter and no one has the right to ask such personal questions concerning her parents. Good for you Chelsea for sticking to your guns.

Go Chelsea! Both President Clinton and Sentor Clinton have done so much for our country. Back then our economy was healthy and some 300-million+ surpluses. We were not at wars. Those were good times and we should thank the Clintons for their hard work. The problems with their personal lives should never be our business. Both of them have shown that they're both strong fighters since they have come back from those scandals and remained prominent public figures.
