(CNN) - Is politics in Chelsea Clinton's future?
Bill Clinton says maybe.
In an interview with People Magazine, the former president said he thinks his daughter is a natural campaigner who may one day follow her parents into the family business.
"If you asked me [whether Chelsea would go into politics] before Iowa, I would have said, 'No way. She is too allergic to anything we do.' But she is really good at it," the former president said in the latest edition of the magazine
Clinton also said Chelsea was deeply upset by her mother's disappointing third-place finish in Iowa in January.
"It all changed after Iowa," he said. "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.' "

Well, we'll see in time if she gets in.
All I can say is be your own woman, and not beholden to anything your parents did (or didn't do).
like i didn't see this coming.........the clinton are very opportunistic....while chelsea was campaigning for her mom....she was also compaigning for herself.
the clinton wants to compete with the bush and the KENNEDY's
well chelsea it's gona be tough for you to win anything outside arkansa......because your mom than mess up the family name
NO SOUP for the clintons
OH GOD NO!!!
If there is a God in Heaven, please spare us!!!! Please Lord I beg of thee!!!!!!!!
She was upset and bawled because her mom got third place?
Like mother like daughter!
Oh please..SPARE US!!
reconsider!! We've had enough of the Clintons...
and besides "She was upset, bawled".... Politics is not
for you then "sweetie"
These people have an obssession with the white house !
This IS NOT your familly business, This is AMERICA !
go away, we dont wanna hear about you...enough already ! Jesus, imagine the disaster if she unherits her father's perverted tendencies, and her mother's lack of integrity and pathological lying !
Jesus...lord help us !
ENOUGH!!
IF it's war that the CLINTONS want, then we will give them something they've never seen before. To hell with the party is what they seem to be saying with their actions.
FINE, we are also prepared to watch the party burn than to let them Hijack this election.
Does this really suprise anyone????
She would do well....she would even better if her last name was not Clinton though (it is necessarily the biggest help)
I'd vote for her in a heartbeat.
I hope she learns more from her dad than her mom. Her dad is a people person and a much more skilled politician.
...How sickening. Chelsea bawled after her mother lost Iowa!? Geez, how would she react if SHE lost a race? Probably go home and cry herself to sleep.
Who cares!!! And, for the sake of the Democratic Party, I hope not! Especially if she is anything like her psychotic mother!
She seems like a nice person I just hope she didn't pick up her mother's smere tactics and kitchen sink, scortched earth strategy...
She needs to work on better answers than 'none of your business' if she wants a career in politics.
So?....Another attepmt to keep the Clinton Dynsasty afloat..this is not newsworthy. Once again the Clinton News Network at its finest.
If she has Bill' charm and people skill she'll go far. Good for her, we need more young people involved. Thanks to Sen. Obama a lot more young people are standing up. You go Chelsea. Thank you Barack....
Bill,
You should be proud of Chelsea. In fact you should learn from her. She took the high road praising Hillary's record and even had to confront questions about you.
Yes, she is a natural candidate and will probably eclipse both you and Hillary. I wish her complete success in whatever endeavor she chooses.
Give me a break. I am sure she is a nice person, but please....... Why in the world is he saying this. All Clinton, all the time, never ending, ever.... Time to move on America. Enough of these people. Billary has done enough damage to the Democrat party.....
Chelsea has alot to learn before she goes into politics. The most important is now to answer questions in a way that does not make everyone upset. The answer that that is none of your business just doesn't cut it with the public.
Oh please! Now that Hillary is out, he is introducing Chelsea? OMG
Chelsea would have a wonderful career in politics. She has grown up with two of the best advisors available and I would proudly vote for her in any situation. In the 90's I didn't support bill Clinton, that's something I regret to this day. They have done a lot for our country and I am ashamed of the way they are being treated by the DNC and the rabid Obama supporters who have absolutly no couth. I sincerely hope things turn around for the democrats in that the right candidate gets nominated, however that looks dim. Chelsea should take this lesson learned and carry it with her as she progresses through the rank and file of politicians. The Democratic party is crooked. It is not our friend and the future will probably lean more towards the middle. Please consider a new party such as the independent. It will strengthen as more and more people become tired of the old guard. Regardless, I wish Chelsea the best and know that she will someday make a great president!
Take it to the convention Hillary. No more stolen elections in America.
In 2000, every democrat was outraged that Bush won without the popular vote.
Are we still a democracy? You Obama supporters are so nasty... You and the media have been trying to run Hillary out of this race from the get go.
I'm disgusted and ashamed of all of you.
Hey CNN where is the story on Obama's flip-flop on foreign policy. Actually, who really knows? Obama can you clarify...
One day Iran is a small threat, the next it is a big threat.
Oh, and meeting with terrorists? Isn't there a reason we don't me with terrorists?
Obama couldn't find his butt with a ten man hunting party.
Fed up Dem.
Vote Hillary or write her in.
Who is surprised? Not me!
WHAT MORE PROOF DO YOU NEED THAN THIS THAT WE ARE CREATING A FAMILY DYNASTY?
I hope she does a better job than her lying mother!!!!!!!!
Also I hope she does not run against any off Obama's daughter's
CAN YOU SAY REPEAT!!!!!!!!!
Grooming another for the family crown...
Every chance I get she'll pay for her MOMA's sin's....
Yeah that's all we need. Another whiny Clinton who believes the Presidency is owed to her.
Dear Bill, The legacy you left as a president has been destroyed during Hillary's campaign as result of your odd behavior. Please – no more Clintons on the campaign – please ride into the sunset, write some books and get on TV every now and then – but leave us alone!!
My advice to Chelsea, stay out of the nastist, dirtist game in the world..Obama has played the race card from the beginning and has managed to divide this country worse then I have ever seen. He has evoked MLK so many times it is unreal. He stole MLK's "the urgency of now." I have a dream was played in SC and Oprah was there talking about MLK and black people. He could not even give Best Wishes to Kennedy without mentioning Civil Rights. I have never heard so much about black people as I have this election. Bill was right about SC, anybody black could win that state. How many times have you heard Obama sound off about being a 46 year old black man being able to run for President? Michelles' "ain't no black people in Iowa." That was in the beginning so you tell me who played the race card.. Every speech he gives has racial undertones. The audacity of hope is all about race.
Contrary to what so many bashers on here say...I think the Clintons are way more intelligent, experienced and qualified to run this country than anyone else I have witnessed in my life time.
She should stay out of politics. The Clinton's are old news and they are big losers. Go McCain
It wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea Clinton would become a politician someday, following her family's legacy. Politics was obviously a success for both of her parents: Bill being a former President of the United States and Hillary being a Senator of New York and possible future President of the United States.
THAT MUST BE WHY HIS PARENTS ARE TRAINING HER TO LIE, CHEAT, COMPLAIN, TRICK. OMITT, DIDACT, SLANDER, AND IMPOSE NOW. I AM SURE SHE WILL BE A FORCE TO REKON WITH.
I'm sorry. Nothing against Chelsea, but why is this on the Political Ticker. CNN, gas is at an all time high. Food, airline ticket, and other things are going sky. Is this all you have to talk about?
I really like Chelsea and think she would be excellent in whatever she chose to do. I support her potential political career 100%.
I thought that this country was a democracy, not a monarchy. The Clinton's need to go away.
Cool.. She should some day. Hopefully she'll learn from her parents mistakes and just be herself.
what a wonderfully supportive family.... very refreshing
Who cares? Other than having another dysfunctional Clinton on the scene, why is this news?
Not another Clinton in politics. we have had enough of you. go away.
McCain 08
She must be able to lie with a straight face too.
It reminds me of how Damien ran for President in The Omen Part 3.
Chelsea Clinton is a wonderful girl and she takes after her mother. Her dad is a good guy too, so he made mistakes in his past, but he's a good man. I like this family and I think Chelsea will be a great public servant if she decided to get into politics. Hillary 08.
Chelsea Clinton has a problem. Hillary stated yesterday that she was taking this fight to the August convention, this will ensure a defeat for the Democrats come November and will forever damage the Clinton brand name.
If The supers do not jump before May 31st it will be tooooooooo late and the damage to the Democrats will be iredeemable.
Hillary is on the point of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in November general.
THe DNC really must make a move now do not leave this until August.
Very very very bad idea!!
First, Senator Obama needs to give Chelsea Clinton a big role in his camp. Join other wonderful team of women that run the Obama Camp. Chelsea has a brighter future a head; she can do whatever pleases her that includes running for anoffice.
I think that she would be a great politician! just like her mother, but without the baggage! Go Chelsea..maybe 2020!
Are they serious? This family is so power hungry and so desperate for acceptance AND the spotlight, it's pathetic. Just please go away, PLEASE!!!! Hillary LOST!!!! FACE IT!!!!!! They cannot grasp the idea that their time has come and gone. Sort of like when Bill's term was up, and he left the White House and went to some airport hangar for a goodbly party, and his first words were "I'm still here." PATHETIC!!!!!
JUST GO AWAY!!!! PLEASE CHELSEA, DO NOT RUN FOR OFFICE!!!!!
Awe...I love the Clintons!
God, please don't do it Chelsea. After these two horrible role models you had you wouldn't get very far. People are tired of their antics and have lost repect for your lunatic parents. And i used to like Bill, voted for him twice. NEVER NEVER NEVER AGAIN. NO MORE CLINTONS!
Oh thats so sweet Chelsea
My gosh is he so power hungry that he and his wife just can't fade off into the sunset and grow old together peacefully? He's been a Governor and President . She's been a Senator. They will always have a place in history (good and bad). Now he's going to start pushing his daughter to run so that he can continue to feel relevant. Enough already.
ARJ
Chelsea cant handle the tough questions that were asked of her. She must learn this before she will make it. I saw her crack under pressure.
Please, Please say it ain't so Bill.
Oh great....Bush I – Bill – Bill – Bush II – Bush II – Hillary – Hillary – Chelsea....is this how they perceive it...could you imagine?!
Tell her to keep her self at home or at least out of the white house. Enough with the Clintons thinking they have a right to be there. I can so see Bill trying to set this in motion. Both the Bush and Clinton Familys should be banned from running this country. There is no dynasty here. Go home and stay home already.
Who cares.
Chelsea, I would vote for you as long as you learn from the mistakes your mother has made. She should have had this in the bag.
On another note...it must be nice to be able to take an indefinate amount of time off from your employer to travel the US on behalf of your mom. That is something the average joe cannot do.
Who really is elitest?
Oh NO....Not another Clinton!
Well chelsea that is time off work wasted. Your mum still went down with you on her side. You are the only remaining hope for the Clinton dynasty in 2020
Good Grief...I would NEVER have guessed it! Hmmm is that why she wouldn't take any questions from the press...didn't want anything on record. Oh my, she was under sniper fire with her mommie too wasn't she. She will claim all that experience in the White House and "campaigning" with mommie.
Bill how stupid do you think the voters in America are? You think you are revealing a deep family secret here that none of us recognized from the get go. That is EXACTLY why America is revolting about the Clinton dynasty. America finally got rid of you with your lying, dirt political womanizing ways. We are about to run your wife out of town and hope she NEVER comes back. I'm absolutely sick of the whole Clinton clan.
At least she may be a little more middle of the road. You rant, Hillary shrieks and Chelsea just puts us all to sleep. It's about as exciting as bark on a tree to watch her speak. PS...we WILL remember that your womanizing was "NONE OF OUR BUSINESS". That is on record.
YEAH! YEAH! YOU GO GIRL! Something to really look forward to in the future.
Must we linger in this tri-asty. Chelsea Clinton running for president. Don't prolong this pain any longer. No.
Sure Chelsea can go into politics. Afterall, she has had he experience of being in the White House for nearly 8 years as the first daughter and previously as the first daughter of Arkansas. Surely, this expereince will enable her to hit the road running so to say. Unlike others who have not had the opportunity of being first lady etc. etc.
As long as she offers more than just her name.
Oh my dear god. Another Clinton to lie, cheat, steal, divide, manipulate, and condescend to the American people. Come on – she stood there and let her monther lie and lie and lie about the Bosnia trip. So Chelsea was complicit, or wasn't smart enough to remember.
Just what we don't need. New faces, new ideas. Let's get past the baggage of the Clintons.
Welcome to the Arena
We will support you
Hillary 08
I saw an interview with Chelsea Clinton and the first thought that came to my minda was that she would be the first Female President. let's just hope she doesn't get corrupted like her parents! I am very impressed with her. She's got it in her blood!
NO MORE CLINTONS (PERIOD)
Everyone knows...The reason she' on the campaign was to start her life in politics.
She was ducking sniper fire with her mother, so I'm sure she's going to cliam the same BS experience her mother claimed. Being the first child makes her ready on day one.....
So transparents.
POST it CNN....
Hillary and Bill consider politics the 'family business', not public service. I believe that considering they will do or say anything to stay in 'business'.
Oh no Chelsea!!! It's none of our business!!!! Remember???
Obama 08!!
AHHHHHHHH.... Please don't let my unborn children have to deal with the possibility of another Clinton.....
Just as I thought. Hillary's continued campaigning is no more than "training wheels" for Chelsea at no cost. The plan has always been about introducing Chelsea, remember she is their only heir to the Clinton dynasty. Slick move.
Good grief .... this is a never-ending nightmare !
We have seen what your parents are, and you are no different. I have always thought of Chelsea as a decent person, but that not your business answer was very dissappointing. I thought she would be a professional, when asked about a private question like Monica. Instead, Chelsea proved to be just like her mother. Highly educated people with very low life personality.
Chelsea has been a life saver for what is left for her mothers campaign. She was too young to really grasp the whole election and campaign process when Former President Clinton was in office.
She has the right routes to get into politics, and its obvious she has two highly talented and highly experienced parents to teach her and guide her to success on the political front.
That's nice and who cares?
Bill just wants back in the WH at any cost. Did he forget something there? I am sure Bush would let him back in to pick up whatever he left behind. Maybe he can take the $20 tour.
Honestly – is this news???
What a crock! "Im not letting my mother go down like this!". Bill Clinton is the ultimate spin machine, just face facts....your time has come and go and America needs a different outlook to get us out of a number of ruts. Way to stir up some emotion on behave of HRC...give it up.
I am sorry but the Clintons and the bush families should be banned from running and being elected to any public office. And I would have to go even further and say these families should be.
( SPADE AND NUITTERED ) so there seed can not ruin this country anymore!!!!!!!
BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!
This country will be run by two families...YIKES!
WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER CLINTON IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Who cares. If she does it won't be president anytime soon.
Go back to your job, No More Clintons!!!
Good for her!
Surprise, surprise.
Now she can run on a dual-ticket with Hillary in 2016. Ugh.
http://thepajamapundit.com/
That punk 28 year old better be able to talk to the press if she wants to go into politics!!!!
THEY CAN ALL GO HOME NO SHAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Obama should find a place for her in his cabinet. . . to give her some experience for a future run for office. . . She could be our next best hope for a female president on down the road.
Wasn't America founded to get away from powerful ruling dynasties?
This whole family's obsession with power is disturbing...
Chelsea would be better than Obama and his groupies
Brilliant!
We recommend everybody run as long as you are talented regardless of your last name!
Hillary 08, 12.
Chelsea 24, 28!
Another UGLY Clinton in Politics. NO NO NO
Hillary, Chelsea will be the one who is going to be the first woman president for United States of America and it would be good for you now to give up and work on Chelsea's future and perhaps become grandma soon. Give it up woman. You have come this far and as a women my self I admire your courage and strength but I also know that there is time for every thing a time to press hard and a time to give up!
We do not need another Clinton if she is going to be like her parents. Win at any cost, change the rules, lie, cry, etc and turn on the base of people who supported them thru thick and thin.
And when she runs for office, will Chelsea also claim 8 years of White House experience like her mom?????
Chelsea that would not be a very good move. The blacks and the white males would not ever be able to see a women move past
their ego's.
I continue to support your mother, she is the stonger of the men
in the race for President.
The press is against your mother as well as the news media.
Stay your current course, if you enter the politics game I would support
you, you are clever and good looking.
Oh god, it's scary to imagine what kind of politician she'll be when she's learning the ropes from Hillary. She'll be even more ruthless, underhanded and unscrupulous than Hillary is.
The frog faced dimwit can do anything she wants.
Doubtful, given her attitude towards the press (i.e. refusing to take questions).
No, Chelsea's mom lost Iowa because she was not the better candidate. Plan and simple.
poor chelsea!
Go girl
I think Chelsea would go to work for Obama!!!
Welcome aboard Chelsea...
Hell no. She needs to go back to her millionare lobbying job while us poor people struggle.
Chelsea as president hahahahaha.
Man, the family wants to rule america with Iron fiest.
No kidding. Hillary can't seal the deal so they need a backup plan for their dynastic future.
Obama back to the senate after loosing in November
McCain in 08
Hillay 2012 – 2016.
Chelsea 2020 – 2024
Obama nation take that to the bank
I am just so sick of the Clintons, hopefully not in my life time.
They have showed there true colors, and people are not going to be to easy to forget this circus that they preformed in this eletion. And besides you don't answer a question on the campagine trail (it's none of your bussiness) unless your'e John McSain. Chelsea should stay in the kitchen along with mother and bake cookies.
I see that worked well..
Sounds good to me – Chelsea's gotten the worst end of being a politician when she was a child. If anyone's got a thick skin and a well known past it is Ms. Clinton. So if she were to go into politics she knows what she's in for unlike Barack who doesnt seem to get why his wife is being scrutinized. Additionally she's got parents who have done a lot for america like them or not. She's learned the tough breaks of a campaign and has done amazing things for her Mother's campaign – putting a younger face on it etc. She's a strong woman and I like her more than Hillary
STOP THE DYNASTY!
STOP THE DYNASTY!
STOP THE DYNASTY!
STOP THE DYNASTY!
STOP THE DYNASTY!
STOP THE DYNASTY!
LORD HAVE MERCY
not another clinton in our goverment. why don't they just go away
another ploy to try to move people to hillary
to late
clintons just get lost/bill has had enought with interns. he is getting to old
I hope she does. If she has 1/2 the mind of her parents, we would be lucky to have her.
Saw that coming a mile away.....
HRC will never get my vote in 2016 if she breaks up the party this Nov. Now there grooming Chelsea to run in the future? Could they be the antichrist?
God no! We don't need politicians to run the country. Time is up for the constant fighting. Think about it, this would never fly in business. People need to get along and come to agreements, not stale mates. At the next state of the union address, make the Democrats and Republicans sit next to each other.. Absurd they sit on opposite sides. What is this teaching the young people?
Your moderation systems that only allows for comments that are not critical of CNN is cowardly and shameful.
No, No, No, No, No, No, and for the last time I plead, god no! Chelsea, your the only...if just moderately, sane member of your family left; don't do something foolish like going into politics. You are the good one! You stayed out of the light when your father was the President; and even helping your mother you've been rather quiet. I beg, plead, and pray, that you never get it in your head to follow your parents; as much for you as for us.
Clinton '92!...or rather, Clinton '08!....er....Clinton 2020?
God help us all! Can't we ever be free from the Clintons??
Plus who wants a butt ugle representative, or legislator? All the money they have spent on her plastic surgery hasn't really helped.
Beats working for a living. She will automatically have the support of racist / femanists.
Anyone could go into politics... I will wait to hear it from Chelsea Clinton herself. If she is smart, then she will lay low and be quiet for a few years. Once she has been on a city council or in a state legislature of some place she has lived, then it would be easier for her to run for a national office.
Great, just what we need, another Royal Family in America.
Folks, there ARE other families in this country... lots of them... what gives?
Did Chelsea think just because she was young, it would make the young voters vote for Hilliary. Give the young people credit, they have a mind of their own. They can make their own decisions and doesn't need Chelsea telling them to vote for Hilliary.
Her mother did the damage to herself?
Hey! I will campaign for Chelsea for sure!
I'm an Obama supporter but you have to give it up to her mom, even though she won't get the nod, she really has broken alot of barriers. I think its entirely possible for Chelsea to run and do very well, as well as many other women. The day will come soon when this country elects a women president.
Oh please, not another Clinton. They are like deadly cancer that spreads all over the body. Clinton clan needs to be send to the mood with no way to return.
Only if she is more truthful than her parents.
Chelsea would probably run things better than either of them. Even though she supports her mother, I think she's the apple that fell further away from the tree.
These guys really don't know limits to their ambission. Shame of them, but specially: SHAME OF AMERICA
What a wonderful women. The Clintons have to be proud.
Chelsea has an employer? Why isn't that brat living off of her mommy/daddy's millions? You know, the millions he makes giving speeches to foreign countries to move our jobs over there?
Oops, just answered my own question. Hillary took $20 million from the family's cookie jar, now they'll be able to apply for welfare.
Is it any great wonder how a woman worth $109 million managed to call Sen. Obama elitist? Or am I the only one that noticed that?
GO OBAMA '08!!!
Here's a scenario. If Hillary ever becomes president (hypothetically impossible) then some day Chelsea will run and tout her parents' combined experiences in politics as hers. Then the Bush twins who will have come of age will run after that, citing their experience as the first daughters, and we are back to the old England our founding fathers weaned us from. Talk about building politcal dynasties.
so now Chelsea is a cry baby...
what hard working american could go to their employer and demand a leave of absence? This family is a piece of work. Chelsea won't even answer a question from a 9 year old but she is thinking about going into politics? Geez... if this doesn't make Hillary fans think twice nothing will.
Good for Chelsea. She needs to stand up for her mother. She is a smart woman. If Hillary was not "white" and the "golden boy" was not "black" this race would have been over a LONG time ago. It makes me sick to see the reverse racism in the Obama camp.
I was a young Republican until the first Clinton Run. I found myself to be a moderate Democrat. I don't like that Obama is so far left, I don't like that McCain is so far right. I like Clinton as she is in the middle. He comment that she is like "goldilocks and the three bears" is right on the money. She is not too left, Not too right, she is in the middle. I would vote for Obama if I could determine what type of change he is attempting to make however, the only changes I have been able to verify from his past experience is the following:
1) He sponsored a bill in 2004 to create an organization for the immigrants, which alots them housing benefits, special loans, Medicare/medicaid, food stamps, WIC.
2) He has more missed votes in the Senate than Clinton, but ties McCain in missed votes
3) His Senate voting record has more "Present' votes than Yes, no or absent
4) He waits for others to make a decision, then jumps on board and if you disagree with the decision, he places the blame on others
We need a leader that will stand tall and put themselves out to protect us and make sure our future is not dismal. I cannot see that Obama has the capability to lead us and the only place I see him leading us to is distruction, confusion and hate. Not a leader for America.
Chelse Clinton will have a full and happy life, I hope, but the last thing this country needs is a third Clinton in politics. This, from someone who sided with Bill Clinton during the impeachment process and was looking forward to voting for the nation's first woman president. The current nomination race has exhausted my patience with their political amorality.
If she does, she needs to chose a mate who won't be an albatross around her neck down the road...
CNN PLEAAAAAAAAAASE!!!! WHERE IN THAT STATEMENT DOES IT SAY THAT SHE MAY GO INTO POLITICS???? IT SAYS "SHE IS GOOD AT IT"
I believe Bill (for once) when he says Chelsea is "allergic to anything we do." Her parents are both toxic.
HA!HA!Ha!HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!....Please, No Way.....
God I hope not. We've had enough of the Clintons. I'm getting tired of not voting for them.
And yet all her help is wasted because her mother is just not likable.
And I see her becoming just like her mother, another woman that would do and say anything for a vote and could not be trusted to lead any one.
Bill, Hillary and now Chelsea all becoming a big family of liars. Gee when will it end!
It's a good thing I'm a gentleman but don't let that keep you guys from having fun.
After the way her mother has been treated, despite decades of public service and fighting for rights for all Americans, I'm not sure why she or anyone else would ever bother.
Sen. Clinton has had more lies told and baseless accusations made about her than probably anyone in history. For example: those who keep saying that she signed an agreement not to count the votes in FL & MI – that is completely false. There was no such agreement for anyone to sign. She signed an agreement not to campaign in FL & MI and she did not campaign in those states. For the number of times she has been wrongly accused of lying, she's perhaps the most lied about candidate in history!
BTW, Dean had no problem moving a couple of states up, knowing they would go to Sen. Obama and give him an early boost. South Carolina's date change was certainly blessed by the Obama-supporting Chairman.
Good luck, Chelsea. I hope you have your mother's ability to focus on getting the job done without any expectations of appreciation or respect.
Great, all this country needs is another Clinton in politics. Just because she campaigns on her mother's behalf , Bill feels she's qualified. It's time to stop political inbreeding!!
Don't they have terms for parents who live vicariously through their children?
I love how she goes to her boss and tells him what he has to do. Give me a leave of absence, I'm Chelsea Clinton.
You're right Bill, she is ready for politics.
Chelsea has grown into a lovely and poised young woman – I have a clear memory of her even before her Dad became president. She's certainly very bright and articulate and could add to the polictical discourse in any way she chooses.
well said !!! but I don't think we should let you be in the white house, we don't need another Clintons in the hood
Why not!!!
No matter what anyone thinks about the Clintons, they really are proud to be Americans and so is their daughter.
We don't know very much abourt Chelsea, since the Clintons did a very good job of keeping her out of the public eye until she was ready. I think she will do well in politics.
You go Chelsea.
One of the other major blogs is reporting this morning that Hillary is desperate to get on Obama's ticket as VP. She is reported to said that if that can't happen, she would consider the VP spot with McCain. Interesting idea, but Chelsea with McCain would be even more appealing to get younger voters that McCain just can't break through with.
Good for her if she really wishes to run one day.
As a young lady you can only admire that ambition only and only if it is truly comming from her.
Curious though... If Chelsea should run today what would be her experience – " I was the president kid at the white house for 8 years, i listened to my father make/receive some phone calls of national security, foreign policy and economy... and by the way i also campaigned for my mother during her presidential nomination..." GO figure.
Or if she actually ends up in to some sort of political arena, se mayor of NY hahahah. Then she can use that as experience may be.
Hope you are enjoying the circasm in my wording here. Point is i used to admire the Clintons during president Bill's presidency. However, watching them this time going through the do anything to get the nomination process is simply disgusting.
NO ONE DESERVES ANY POSITION IN POLITICS. THE PEOPLE SELECT HAVE THE CHOICE TO SELECT ONE ASPIRING CANDIDATE and that is how it should be rather than using political power and influence even at the cost of deviding your own party.
There's one thing to see and hear your mother and father do and say anything to get elected but another thing to actual adopt that mentality. If she is willing to corrupt her morals and say and do anything, have at it. I hope she is doing this eyes wide open. She has seen how there is no holds bar in campaigning. If she is using her EXPERIENCE campaigning for ther mother as a foundation for her on campaign, she is not going into this eyes wide open.
If she gets into it, hopefully she'll try the honesty approach.
Good for Chelsea. She has excellent role-models for public service in her parents. With them to guide her, she could become a force in the Democratic party within the next decade.
It's no secret that the Clintons want to propogate their Dynasty,this is just confirmation from Papa Bill.....lmao
good for her as long as she does not turn out to be so evil like her mother. We encourage young, honest energetic politicians who will be willing to serve people with respect and integrity.
Chelsea should just keep the job her parents got her in New York. But I digress, if her ego is anything like her parent's once she has money she will want the power to go with it.
Slick Willie obviously still thinks way too much of Himself, his Wife and Chelsea. Bill was a good president only by being in the right place at the right time when things were good in America and around the world (thanks to 12 years of republican presidents). Hillary ran and won a senate seat on name only but is going to lose the primary. Chelsea would be able to run on name only as well.
Oh please God no! No more Clintons!
This, more than anything, is admittance that Hillary is done, and they are trying to find new ways to improve their tarnished legacy by bringing the next generation into it.
She'd better start being more candid about how she feels about her parents behavior, because that environment which she grew up in is certainly fair game for voters to understand, in order to better evaluate her own personal set of values and beliefs.
Colbert in 08!!!
Please God NO! Please let the Clinton name die. Hillary is doing a pretty good job of killing it.
We need another Clinton as bad as we need another Bush. Now all we have heard from Hillary is that barack has no experience, and now Slick Willie is saying that Chelsea is going into politics? Please, America, do not do it again!!!
Oh, no! Not this Family. Enough is enough. Just let the girl to get married.
In the future, I may vote for her if she doesn't try to pawn off her eight years as "first daughter" as experience!!!
This is sad... We do NOT need another lying, ethically challenged, spin-at-all-costs, divisive Clinton figure on our national scene...
Enough of these boors already!
In 8 years, won't she be old enough to run?
Must be nice to be employed for only a year at a $150,000 a year hedge-fund job and demand an indefinite leave of absence to go on the campaign trial to places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
If Chelsea can't answer simple questions about her and her parents public ordeal with Monica Lewinski on the campaign trail, there is no way she will last in politics under intense scrutiny.
I had to battle with my boss just to go on leave of absence(not indefinite), but with the Clintons, it's their birthright!
life must be good for the Clintons; but remember that the good old USA is no Monaco and neither is it a monarchy govt.
ordinary americans do not go to harvard or yale like Chelsea did, work in a consultant firm where she gets paid six figures (over $100,000 for you uneducated Hillarious voters), go on leave whenever she deems fit, and decides to run for office, like her father Bill owns the United States!
life must be good for the $100 million dollars Chelsea Clinton family!!!!
now let me go find some change to fill my gas tank – if only Chelsea can loan me some of nickels & dimes!
WELL BIG SUPRISE THEIR!!! SHE WON'T GET FAR IF SHE DOESN'T STOP BEING A SNOT NOSE BRAT ABOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR.
What a natural she would be! Apparently, she has the crying part down pat, already. Just think would a big advantage she would have in her refusal to answer any questions, too!
NEVER GONNA VOTE FOR A CLINTON EVER !!!!!!!!!!
is it too much to ask that a politician be a good politician, not "a good campaigner"?
Well... I guess she was 13 when she moved into the White House. So, when she turns 48, she'll be able to claim "35 years experience" and run as "someone who is ready to lead on day one".
All kidding aside, I think Chelsea has infinitely more charisma than her mom... and she inherited far more of Bill's wit/instincts... She'll be pretty dangerous in the political arena. I wonder if she'll run for congress in 2010... If she breaks from congress to the governorship of a small state (Probably Nevada, her family has cred in Iowa and New Hampshire)... Then she really could run for president in her early to mid 40's, while both parents are still around to help her run...
By then the country will no longer have Clinton fatigue... and Chelsea hasn't made the catastrophic blunder of endorsing a dumb recreational war (yet).
Who knows?
It is amazing how she can get "indefinite leave of absence" and the average person who was not connected couldn't.
Who is the elitist?
Chelsea is not cute... Pandering politics won't work for her.. Sorry..
She can run. So could almost anyone else.
And Bob...we don't need another 4 years of Bush policies (i.e. McCain).
And Mary56...most politicans will do anything to get a vote (look at the flip flopper McCain). Once they are elected, it's a different story. Where have you been?
I am an Obama supporter, but I would never support or criticize Chelsea based upon what I like or disliked about her parents. The same way I did not jump on the HRC bandwagon because I liked Bill, I will wait and see what she says. Where she stands on issues, and how she plays the political game.
I really think Bill and Hillary are addicted to the spotlight. They simply can't and won't believe Hillary isn't going to win–they act like the White House is theirs and they want it back. So it doesn't surprise me that they are looking for another way to get back to the White House. Hillary lost because of her own behavior-I wish they could accept that and move on!
I always liked Chelsea. She is probably the only sane Clinton in their household. Hopefully their shenanigans didn't ruin that poor girl!
I wish her well...
Chels, Just don't get your mom's people to campaign for you. You will lose FO' SHO'
Sweet Baby Moses!!! They want a royal family and people are actually glad for that. I feel ill.
Well, she won't be able to pick and choose her questions like she does now. Her father's philandering will never go away.
I for one, don't want a Clinton dynasty.
I sure would love to quit my job and go work with my parents on the campaign trail. Must be nice. Basically saying, "You can take this job and shove it. My father used to be the President and my mother is trying to be the next President. I'll get paid by my parents." Spoiled brat
maybe she can repair the damage that her mother is doing to the family name ... Or maybe Hillary should take her daughter as a role model ...
Chelsea Clinton has indicated several times that she is NOT interested
in politics. Bill Clinton just stated that she has "allergies" to politics.
If you look closely at Chelsea, she always has the expression of a
12 year old being forced by their parents to "perform" for the guests at
dinner.
I would take Chelsea over momma Clinton any day.!
If I were her, I would be deeply ashamed by my parents. Hope she will be a different kind of Clinton, the good kind.
Before she can run she will have to answer questions from the press. Also, I guess she could claim she has years of experience because she is the duaghter of a president and she even wen to Bosnia and ducked the sniper fire. I think it is time for Bill to go away and be quiet.
Yawn! Please no more Clintons
The Sith Lord has chosen a new apprentice?, lol.
j/k Clintonites...relax.
She does seem like she'd be good at it she's very cool under pressure. She could probably succesfully run for a seat in the House right now.
She doesnt have a poker face, cant handle tough questions, WE DONT REALLY KNOW HER, whats her middle name, WHy dont she wear a lapel pin, isnt her former pastor up on molestation charges, Questions questions questions.
Why does it bother people that this country has not elected a woman president? If a person is not worthy of being president then their gander should not come into play at all.
I would not care if no woman ever becomes a U.S president. This country needs a real leader not one that cries about the media being sexist as well as voters.
It is funny when she gets treated like a women she tells you to treat her like a man and when you treat her like a man she cries like a woman.
Someone check on Hillary I think she is going though menopause!
Because of who their daughter is, I say they are good people. Any "good people" raise good children. Hillary is "my girl"! Chelsea is a wonderful, caring, smart young woman. For women like myself-strong women, Hillary is a good example of how you create a "good society", by raising good children. To all you Hillary haters--I'd like to see your children and who they are as people. I'm sure they are spoiled brats!
Oh, come on! There are 350 million Americans. This country doesn't need to be run by two families!
she would have to learn a lot...... (especially how to not do things....)
I find her effort for her mom very honorable, however Chelsea comes over very awkwardly and uncomfortably while talking in the campaign.
I doubt she has the charisma or the toughness for it!!
she is a woman! stop acting like she is a protected little baby. Talk about over protecting. Most people have real jobs at that age. ah, the life of an elitist.
Good for Chelsea. It is her right to do with her life whatever she wishes. No one has a bone to pick about that. She is young and educated. Her record is clean. If you really think about it she has a better background then Bush your current President. I would encourage her to go for it. There is plenty of room to replace old thinking there in Washington.
Just when we thought we'd FINALLY be done with the Clintons.
I dont think it'll work out too well for her. As much as her mother has done to damage the deomcratic party, no one will take her serious enough to risk dealing with another Clinton. She wont be able to ride on her parent's coat tails as Hillary has tried with Bill.
But Hillary's nasty, demeaning, and poorly run campaign ruined any chance for Chelsea in the future. ESPECIALLY if the Dems lose this year. She'll be known as "the daughter of the woman who costs the Democratic Party an easy election."
Oh yay! Could we be so lucky? The Clinton dynasty will continue! She has such bang-up role models. This would be so great for the USA.
(Sense the sarcasm)
Can you hear the debates now? "I don't feel that's any of your business." Pampered Miss Princess, you've already toured the world on the taxpayers dime. Count yourself lucky and don't push it. Your mother's failed campaign should be the espresso shot heard round the world: America's awake now and will no longer being lulled back to sleep by a endless stream of Clinton lies. Go away, already.
Yeah, there's the sign. She cried – good reason. She will need lessons on how to deal with the press LONG BEFORE she can consider politics. She proved herself publicly on that one. Good luck, hon.
Why not, She has 35 years of experience
Good! Let hope the men don't still the election then too.
How can she go into politics when she's a 27 year old woman that afraid to speak to the press????
Chelsea is sure to be the first female president. There is no one woman, on the playing field, dedicated, strong and intelligent enough to secure that job. Not Pelosi, NOT Sebilius. I am saddened that Hillary won't be the nominee. It is a major let down for women of all ages. Chelsea is our new hero.
BTW, anyone who knocks Chelsea is a blatant malcontent, unworthy of any credibility.
Go ahead and knock bill and hillary's marriage, but they got one thing right – they have raised one fine daughter.
NO SEBILIUS FOR V.P.
This democrat will stay home if that happens.
Enough with the Clintons already! Chelsea could have a much more fulfilling life outside of politics. Would she really want this for herself? She is being groomed by two of the most narcissistic, greedy, ambitious people ever to run for office, is there any hope she would be any different?
What a fickle and ungrateful lot we Americans have turned out to be! Bill Clinton led us (all colors) through the best and most prosperous years in decades and we turn on him like vipers when someone with a few pretty words turns our heads! What did he ever say to make Obama supporters so angry? Did Jesse Jackson not win South Carolina that year? I am sure he was not upset to be recognized as the winner of SC in a previous election. Furthermore, we vote in George Bush and then turn on HIM for protecting us from terrorism! Wake up, people Has there been another 911? The gas prices are not the govt's fault. It is our own fault for wanting the big cars and vacations. Please take some responsibility and look in your own backyard for solutions! a smart man once said "Ask not what your country can do for you-but, ask what you can do for your country"! Be patriotic and BE AN AMERICAN!
It sickens me to see people talk about other people's physical looks. Maybe you people need to look in a mirror yourself. It is strange to me that Obama won Caucuses and most people know that they can be easily rigged.
Chelsea always reminds me of a cult follower, with Bill and Hillary being the brain washers. Kind of like the Moonies.
Another good reason NOT to vote for Hillary!
Chelsea good at politics?? She doesn't even have the guts to talk to or take questions from the media. Poor protected Chelsea.....
She could become President and then let mommy and daddy run the country for her.....
GOOD LORD! NO MORE CLINTON'S, NO MORE BUSH'S!
Obama 08 & 12!
Amazing. People willing to campaign and vote for Chelsea without the slightest idea of what she stands for (except for what her parents tell her to stand for). And some of these same people are amazed that Obama can be so popular without giving the voters any specifics regarding his agenda. Wikipedia has a brief description of the lemming metaphor. I think it should be required reading for anyone supporting Obama or Chelsea. At least with Hillary you know what you're going to get, support it or not.
Jesus is a christian! Give us a break would you!
Just what we need, another Clinton in politics. With her dad's infidelity track record and her mom's pack of lies..I can only imagine what we may get from that girl. Please spare us.
OBAMA 08'/12'
And hopefully Chelsea will be able to manage her campaign much better than her mother has done. New York can keep them.
I'm soooooooo sick of the Clintons. I used to like Bill, but they both have shown how low they can sink. Hopefully if their daughter runs for any kind of public office she'll distance herself from Bill & Hill.
Obama 08
I don't seen people telling the KENNEDY'S to get lost with their dynasty!
I'm an obama supporter but think Chelsea would be a good candidate when she's old enough to run...a better candidate than her mom
WITH TWO BRILLIANT, DYNAMIC PARENTYS LIKE HILLARY AND BILL, SHE MUST BE EQUALLY INTELLIGENT AND CIVIC MINDED.
WE WILL SUPPORT YOU, CHELSEA!!!
WE SALUTE YOU, MADAME PRESIDENT HILLARY!!!
Let's see, Hillary can't do it, let's try Chelsea. Why should any of us work for a living? It's so much better to milk the public teat. I'm tired of the Clinton rhetoric and values (if there are any). Chelsea should get a real job, one that expects her to work for a living, not just one that fills a void when there's nothing else to do. Chelsea does seem to be bright, but that could also be the Clinton hype. I wish a real person like Condi Rice would run, then we'd have not only a great candidate with true experience, but one that would break the race and gender barriers without having to continually complain about the gender or race card.
Once again I'm disgusted by the level of comments. In just the handful I've read, I've heard Chelsea described as "ugly", "frog faced", and "butt ugle" (sic). This is uncalled for. What did she do to deserve that? Some of you losers need to get a life.
First, let's get rid of ALL the Clintons – for good! Hillary keeps bawling sexism – nonsense. It is also about the TYPE OF WOMAN RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY. I do not care for the Clinton women – mother like daughter. I would gladly vote for a woman president IF the woman running is A WOMAN OF CHARACTER!
Can we please MOVE ON from the Bush/Clinton neo monarchy of the past 30 years? I think I have seen enough of these two households, both alike in INdignity. Let's elect some new leaders so that we can get some NEW different results. Keep electing the same meatballs and nothing will change.
Who proclaimed this woman.. who has no personality and hasnt ever answered a hard question in her life much less had to work .. the "representative" of the young vote?
none of them can relate to her silverspoon lifestyle.
she told her job to give her a perm. leave of absence or let her go so she could go play with mommy? how many of us could do that?
what has she done that makes her qualified to do anything in politics?
The Clintons are no John F Kennedy!
That's the ticket. She should give up her "indefinite leave" job to become a political parasite like her parents. In Brooklyn we call those no-show jobs.
i'm sure hillary and bill have ruined any chances for chelsea to be an elected official.she's learned too many bad habits from her mother and father.
She'll run as a Republican because the Clintons are mud in the Democratic Party.
From my understanding of history, I always believed that the American Revolution took place largely as a reaction to the dictates and excesses of monarchy and that it was a reaction against the concept of monarchy in general. What has happened to the republic of Washington and Jefferson? Now, more that two hundred and thirty years after the Declaration of Independence, the United States finds itself with the luxury of not one but two royal dynasties – the Bushes and the Clintons. Perhaps that explains why Hillary expected a coronation rather than a contest.
Just what this country needs, another Clinton to lie and pander to voters. And they call Obama elitist.
God help us...not another one!!
Unfortunately it seems that only the children of the elite become our leaders. Its a shame. If you people really want some change go with a third party candidate or right now the first place underdog, Ron Paul. Yes, he may be different, but different is what we need if we really want to get back on track. Don't you people realize that we can remove anyone from office with a just cause? If we want change we can't keep with this "traditional" stuff.........
LOOK OUT FOR THE SET_UP, this has been brewing all along for the clintons. they are trying to extend their dynisty in politics, buy trying to crown the "AIR APPARENT" . Governor bill richerson , i think said it best, are we suppost to be loyal to the clintons , even down to their daughter? i think most people have a bond with bill clinton, but not his wife, and certinally not his daughter.She has not estabilseh any repor with the american people, except to say that she is the daughter of a past president , and the daughter of a mother who was trying to be the president and failed. She has no standing in this regard, and has no reacord of any political achievement on her own, except name reconition.
Hey, cut her some slack. If you have not walked a mile in her shoes, put a sock in it. She could very well end up being the first woman president. From what I have seen of her I think she handles herself well. Say what you want about the Clintons, they do know politics. She will be her own person, not a copy of Bill and Hillary. For the record, I will be voting for Obama and have supported him from the beginning. I also do not want to see Hillary as vp, but hope she would take a high cabinet position.
Why am I not surprised? I thought this country was headed by a government, not a royal dynasty... I am tired of Clintons!
It's unfortunate that Hillary has ruined the Clinton name. Perhaps Chelsea will get married and take her husband's name. I'm sure Obama has a brother or cousin she could marry. She'll do well with the name Obama.
Obama '08
To BillJ, by saying that Chesea is good looking, I can tell you're living in a cave. Come on! She ugly as hell.
I just don't follow the logic of some of Senator Clinton's supporters in this blog. They are not being completely honest with themselves and many of their arguments lack rationale. I get it if you prefer Clinton over Obama…but to make up things about Obama or resort to calling him every nasty name you can think of as a way to justify your belief that Senator Clinton is the best suited candidate is not just utterly ridiculous, but vindictive and hateful as well.
I've read "Obama played the race card first", but nothing never follows that statement to explain the how or when. Is he being accused of playing the race card just by virtue of him being interracial. I've read Obama is a racist. That again defies logic… the man is interracial (black & white). He's constantly argued that a person's race shouldn't matter. His speech spoke to issues and concerns on race held by blacks, whites, hispanics, etc. In short, he said we need to get past those fears, the anger & hang-ups and work together. You all heard it. Maybe you refused to be believe that he was sincere, but you all heard it.
Senator Clinton made a stupid remark about being the most electable candidate because she has more white hard-working American voters. When has Senator Obama said anything that remotely resembles that? When has he said that he is more electible because of the votes of one segment of the population? Senator Clinton hasn't even apologized for that statement. I watched interview after interview of WV voters stating out loud that they won't vote for Obama because he's black. I don't believe that Senator Clinton is a racist. However, she has certainly made racially devisive statements that made racism seem acceptable by playing on the unfounded fears and the bigotry of those voters who were more inclined to vote against Obama simply because of his race. Yet, so many of her supporters refuse to hold her accountable for it. I don't hold her responsible for the blatant racism voiced by her supporters. But she had a responsibility to affirmatively state that racism should not be tolerated under any circumstances and that she is firmly against it. But she didn't do that because she wanted their votes. She's not stupid. She knew exactly what she was doing when she did it. Neither candidate is responsible for racism and neither one of them are racists. However, Senator Clinton has played on the racism harbored by some of her voters in an insidious manner.
Throughout this campaign Senator Clinton has changed her tune and made irrational arguments whenever something has not gone her way. Every time one of her or President Clinton's arguments fail.. Obama is somehow made responsible (e.g. he played the race card, he stood in the way of Michigan & Florida voters, he is a sexist, he runs the media, etc.) The truth is he ran a better organized campaign, won the most delegates and states. He has not discounted any of the states he lost (unlike Senator Clinton) and he always congratulated Senator Clinton on her wins (again unlike Senator Clinton). Some of the Clinton supporters on this blog are not being intellectually honest.
To both Obama & Clinton Supporters: Being bitter, acting like sore losers, and resorting to namecalling is counterproductive and in no way helps either candidate or the democratic party.
I hope she doesn't. If she has 1/2 the mind of her parents, this nation will plummet to hell in a handbasket faster than our current administration.
Didn't we know all along the Clintons want to create a monarchy for themselves? This is America people.
I think this is great news. Go CC
The drama of the Clintons is never ending, is this all about them and not about the country.
Michelle Obama's on leave from her $300 thousand /year job at the University of Chicago health center. And guess how SHE got her education at Ivy League colleges - through affirmative action and government-backed student loans! But that's different, huh?
If Chelsea didn't say it don't believe it. Chelsea state a while ago that she would not go into politics.
It's one thing to get "into" politics, and it's another to get into public service. It's unfortunate that most of our federal payroll doesn't seem to know the difference.
Boring.
This woman cannot relate or speak for the average college student today.
If that is what she wants to do, why not? We all get to make our own career choices, so why shouldn't she? You Clinton haters should just get over yourselves!
Most of the country is already suffering from Clinton fatigue. Perhaps Chelsea would do better to follow the example of most people her age, get a real job and be less dependent on her parents.
NOT. The generation that is in love with the Clintons is getting older and older and older.... the NEW generation that WON'T vote for a Clinton is younger and going to be increasingly in charge.... face it Boomers – your time is coming to a close. Sorry its the truth.
as long as it is her choice, rather than being pushed into this life by her parents.... if it is the later, then she needs to tell both of them to grow up and let her live her own life...
Kenedy, Clinton, Bush....God, why can't we get rid of these dynasties?!
Why do we have elections at all anymore. Lets just crown these people and cut a long story short.
We need to unite, not tear down. I personally will not ever vote for Obama, there are many reasons, however, I think Hillary is our best choice of the 3 musketeers, at least we know where she stands, and McCain, is too old.
Sure, better than Obama.
i think she would be great!!!
Great... Atleast she has more experience than Obama. The only difference in the experience factor with Bush and Obama is that Obama can pronounce the names of the Foreign Leaders
She can do whatever she wants. I don't know why people are down on her and saying she shouldn't. Everyone has a right to go into politics if that is their desire. Even though many of us Obama supporters don't agree with how Hillary has ran her campaign, that is no reflection on Chelsea. I think all intelligent women should be encouraged to become part of the political system and try to change the male dominated sea at Washington. A lot of people who say negative things here are just republican bots.
It's almost like a bad Holloween or Freddie Kruger movie. They never die, just just keep coming back for one sequel after another. The Horror, The Horror!!!!!!!!!!!
Said capital No to the Press
Paged little Miss S-L-ist
End of the Road 4 Clinton"s says the Commoner"s
Democracy stands taller than monarchy
Sad song mirror against hiliarism via Billism.
Are you kidding me? Chelsea? what a laugh!!! That girl is as interesting as dish water!
good for her-
i hope she's paying attention to the mood of america, however
we have our fill of politicians; we need more public servants
I came to the conclusion early on in Hillary's distasteful campaign that I will never vote for a Clinton again.
Chelsea: "Daddy why is everybody being unfair to mommy and not let her win? They let the Bush family get all their turns?"
Bill: " Dont worry dear I took my turn, mommy will get her turn, even if we have to lie and cheat. And then after Jeb's turn it will be your turn."
Chelsea: " Oh thank you daddy, for making America play fair."
Bill: "Thats right dear America needs to understand that this is not a two party system...its a two family system."
OBAMA: '08! "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN "
The family business – EXACTLY the reason I don't want another Clinton in the White House. We need someone that is interested in solving problems, not running their family dynasty!
Are you people nuts? We are finally getting rid of these scum, we don't need any more trash.
Go Obama......
Are comments such as written by "sb" really necessary? It seems the comments on this blog have become a contest to see whose can be the most distasteful. No one on this blog knows the Clintons personally and therefore the personal attacks are unjustified. Doesn't anyone remember how much better life was when Bill was president. None of you were complaining then.
Chelsea has been taught deceit from her parents. And where is here experience? Traveling in Bosnia past sniper fire with her Mom? No thanks.
Picking on her daughter is shameful and discusting. WOuld you like people to talk about obamas kids–i dont think sO–GROW-UP!!!!!
Ok, that's fine. Everyone knew it was coming. She's a Clintonite. Come on people, give her a chance. As long as she don't start no crap until AFTER Barack's SECOND TERM as President and doesn't act like her mother, she can run for any house she wants.
You guys are the best!!! You made my day in the office just reading your blogs... LOL!!!!
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!
CHELSEA FOR VP!
BILL FOR FIRST LADY!
STOP THE DINASTY!
OBAMA, BRING THIS COUNTRY TO THE 21ST CENTURY
BARACK THE VOTE
Bill:
Many are "Called" few are "Chosen"
In Chelsea's case some just went.
Chelsea is as boring as watching paint dry.
What rotten comments! I can see why people want Obama. They did not learn the 8-year lesson. They deserve it .Americans don't get it!
Let's see, maybe she could start out as an intern for Obama.
Michelle should then watch out for another Lewinsky scandal. I understand Barack likes cigars.
Oh please, Lord, no!
Does anyone still believe anything Bill Clinton - or Hillary Clinton for that matter - says any more?
Nooooooooooooo!
Noooooooooooooooo!
Noooooooooooooooooo!
Well, according to our standards of experience, she will be well qualified being she lived in the White House before and is the daughter of the president. I won't be surprised if they have her running for president in 8 years based on all of these "qualifications". I used to love the Clintons but between all the lies, setting the stage for Al Gore's failure at election (thus getting us into Iraq), the way they have run Hillary's campaign, taken illegal contributions and denying everything (Paul vs. HRC, look it up) I can't believe these people have a spotlight in this great country's political process.
"a natural campaigner who may one day follow her parents into the family business." That is what this country needs more of, natural campaigners. So what if they don't care about the country and its direction, just as long as they are a natural campaigner, they are fit to lead the greatest country on the face of the earth.
I hate the people that say we need change from the last two Presidential dynasties. Last time I checked Bill Clinton was the only Clinton in office. Yes, we do need change but change from the current Republican administration. Bill Clinton did not bring this country to the ground, Bush did.
Just what we need is another cry baby Clinton running for office...The writing is on the wall....Clinton's no more.....
Oh God, please, not another Clinton...I can't stand it!
People be NICE and KIND. Be objective and FAIR. Clintons have done great things for this country. Don't forget that. And they are human just like you and me. What have you done for your country???
I am more concerned about how to finish this election vs. the prospect of Chelsea Clinton perhaps being interested somewhere down the road.
Hillary Clinton simply cannot be VP no matter how much she wants it because of her attacks against Obama and her continuation of divisiveness.
She does deserve something for coming in so strong though. I think she needs to be offered a Cabinet position. Either Attorney General or in charge of Health Care. If she is willing to put together and promote Obama's plans.
Hopefully that will placate her supporters and give her the due respect without compromising an Obama presidency where he really needs to have someone as VP who supports him whole heartedly.
Please God No. This country is not a monarchy, nor is this Cuba, have we not already seen what a disaster it is to vote for someone because their father or husband was president? The Clintons really need to let go, maybe buy a small island with all their wealth where they can govern the population as a monarchy, which is what they want to do here, and let the rest of us move on.
no
PLEASE AMERICA WAKE UP. ARE THE CLINTONS AND BUSH SO DESPERATE ABOUT THAT WHITE HOUSE. I THINK THE USA HAS MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE CAPABLE OF RUNNING THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT.
GO OBAMA 08
Despite having "CLINTON" as a last name, I think Chelsea was actually more "grounded" and better than Hillary on the campaign trail.
Perhaps Chelsea will be the first female president instead.
Hopefully she'll marry someone far outside of Bill and Hillary's influence and vices.
Jeff Radun-
If you like monarchies so much, perhaps you should move to England!
NO MORE FAMILY DYNASTIES!
Obama supporters are a bunch of hypocrites. You tell everyone not to dare say anything negative about Michelle Obama but you can continually say disgusting things about Chelsea Clinton. You are only degrading yourself.
WOW... A clinton again... I think she might do better that her mom.... At least she understands the power of young people to affact change. That is what these young people at GASANSWERS.COM are doing. They have a plan to lowers gas prices...and to help the oil executives remember their annual salaries.....
Just what America needs, another Clinton in politics. It will take America decades to recover from the first two. I'm sure that after a short lifetime of learning the ropes from her parents, young Ms. Clinton would bring the same "slash and burn" tactics to the political arena. Please, no more Clintons! We can do a lot better.
Please! I for one have had more than enough of the Clintons to last my lifetime. Bill betrayed the trust of the American people with his immoral behavior in the White House, Hillary blatantly misrepresented the truth on numerous occasions (By the way, what- ever happened to her signed pledge that Florida and Michigan wouldn't count? So much for "playing by the rules, I guess."), and Chelsea's political acumen appears to consist of "It's none of your business" responses to tough questions. Perfect!
Jake, that is my exact thought about you Obama supporters, only Chelsea hasn't gotten to the Kool-Aid table yet. Perhaps your office is serving Kool-Aid, better hurry...go...go...go
If Chelsea decide to go into politics then she must talk to the media and no questions are out of bound. She went to colleges, there is a bigger world outside of college/universities.
Good luck! I wonder if she will carry baggage from her mom and dad?
Please no more Clintons.
Chelsea could run on the Marcel Marceau party ticket. Stand there, move your hands and don't say a thing. I think she took her dad's "don't ask, don't tell" policy to new heights. A fine example of an elitist attitude if there ever was one! No mo' Bubba!
Great. Youngsters getting involved in political process and running for office is good for our country. After all, they represent the future and must have a say in how we rule
Bill....Just forget the WH. You are banned for life because of your indecent activities in oval office. Sorry you can not use either Hillary or Chelse to live in WH.
Ted Kennedy's senate seat shoulg be open shortly. They elect anybody in MA.
Fuggedaboudit!!!! Still a Clinton, still would never get a vote from me! She learned from 2 of the biggest frauds in US history, afterall. When Hitlery finally admits defeat, move to Dahrfur and take Hitlery and Smellsea with you!
NO MORE CLINTONS '08-eternity
Hey all – cut Chelsea a little slick – no reason to be mean spirited!
Should she talk to the press? Yes
Is she a potential future Presidential candidate? extremely premature
Are there other excellent women out there? no doubt
Are there too many grey haired white guys running the show? absoutely, just look at the Senate
But its our fault – we keep voting them in – over and over
I was just at an high level training event in my industry – this is CEO training for the up and comers. 70% white males, 28% white females (this industry is somewhat female friendly), and 2% other. This problem exists throughout our society.
Stop focusing on gender and race. Stop making sexist and racist comments. That is part of the problem and, as frequently happens, is going to result in the most mediocre of the three candidates left, the old white guy, ending up in the White House.
Actually I'm hoping Obama's girls go into politics! The Obamas are honest and really care about this country! OBAMA 08
I hope not !!!! I have a five year old daughter and a three year old son who will have to vote in the next 15-20 years. I don't want them to make the same mistake that "some" voters are doing already!!!!!!
OBAMA 2008-2012
HO HUM. This definitely falls into the WHO GIVES A ........ category.
Wow, these comments are harsh (but kind of funny). I am a bit tired of the Clinton/Bush dynasties going on here. If she has what it takes down the road, run...whatever. But I'm sure alot of other talented and educated women out there deserve just as much of a chance as Chelsea. It would be better to have someone who has a fresher outlook on politics, someone untaited by former political philosophy, and someone not influenced by her parents. While I am a Demo, I would prefer someone else (to say the least).
Maybe Chelsea can run for President against Jenna Bush some day. And the winner can dissolve Congress and institute a monarchy and be done with the pretense.
I think she can do whatever she wants. If people vote for her and she really wants to serve the people, then more power to her. I tell you this much, she will have to learn how to tactfully field hard questions, thats for darned sure.
I always thought she was cute. Is that sexist?
Why don't all you Clinton bashers go to hell...
if she wants that life ok chelsea clinton is ok young and fresh... may be the first female president. i can vote for chelsea but hillary no way i,ve seen how hungry she is for power.
Yeah the dynasty continues. Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and on and on ...
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????? Haven't the American public endured enough???? Clintons find your true calling......please for the sake of all of us and our children!!!!
GO TO HILLARYCLINTON.COM........SEND E-MAIL TO RULES COMMITTEE ALL VOTES SHOULD COUNT
We love you Bill and the whole family! If the Obama fad-lovers on this site had the brains that you have the Dems would already have Hillary in place to be the nominee. But don't worry, we can get there without them if they really want it that way.
Thanks for all you have done for the Dems and for our country!
She should start stocking up on pant sutis now!
Don't corrupt her like you did with Hillary. She coulda been a contender!
Well, the haters are certainly out today. Man, you all were bending over for Bill back in the 90s. What happened? I guess you drank the kool-aid.
God NO, JUST GO AWAY CLINTONS!!!!
PLEASE CLINTONS GO AWAY AND LEAVE THE WORLD ALONE!
Good.she is a young person and will not be like her parents..hopefully..
And hey hillary..here's some good news for you..
There maybe a woman president,and she maybe a clinton and she maybe your daughter.
So don't give up that women's crusade!
Like they say, BILL is really a great politician.......he knows how to make ppl move, i think he just declare chelsea. interest in politic......give it another 3 to 6 month and you'll see chelsea name.......running for something.....i'm sure she has lot of experiece........she campaign so diligently for her mom.......she even ducked sniper fire in bosnia........yep she has been veted.......lol.........i guess if you are not a bush or a kennedy, being and the white house or an elected official is going to be tough.........lucky for us clinton has only one kid.......imagine if he had 10..........
let's go Obama
Perhaps Chelsea can be effective sans her parents' ruthless tactics.
I think that Chelsea has plenty of experience in politics. She's been putting up with Bill and Hillary's crap since she was born!
I'd vote for her if she ditches her parents. They're a bad influence on her, especially Bill.
I hope she will have a better answer than "none of your business" You are already campaigning for her, gues good choice mom will not make it
Great, now the Clinton's will be out 42nd, 44th, and 47th president.
Don't you just love political dynasties?
God has visited the Clinton family to produce one of the best political machine in the history of american politics. Yet the child of the clinton family is prepared from the childhood to take one the world's preferred job. May Americans pray for her. However, her Mom should try to support the would likely be the democratic nominee Obama at this particular point in time if she is willing to make for her child a better road because of her image which was discredited.
WOW and this is News CNN?! More like a nightmare.
Obama/Sebelius '08 & '12
PS- Jan, you think it's over the top for Americans to choose the vehicles they want to purchase and drive? No vacations either? We must really be a spoiled bunch.
I'm a Clinton supporter, wheather she follows her parents foot steps or not it don't matter, when people decide who they want to rep them it's not who she knows or where she comes from, it's all about what she brings to the table. If she got what it takes, I don't mind to see her run fo the office and we will decide. I see a lot of hate towards Obama from Clinton supporters, we Clinto supporters have this social meeting as a hobby but not ever once discussed the haterd of Obama, we simply discuss issues that matter to us as DEM's... so that got me wondered, is all this hate towards Obama coming from DEM's or Republicans who playing a hate game with us so they can improve their odds in novemeber???
p.s. my fellow DEM's time to stop being emotional and think with our heads, cause the way I see it Repulicans think we are stupid and fall for their trap once again.
Good luck to us all, at the end I just want to see Clinton or Obama in the office cause of two reasons...one, they are DEM's and most importantly two, they both have almost the same policies that will take us out of this difficulties that we are in because of Republicans.
from the comments, sexism is alive and well – many from obama fans... hmmm....
With all respect.
I think the Clinton's family are in great need of psychological help.
Megalomenia is killing them...and this country.
The more we learned about them the more they remind me of the Ceausescu family in Romania...or even better, Juan Domingo and Evita Peron in Argentina.
I have made these comments without any political overtones. But I am concerned that just one family can manipulate a whole country...the most powerful and socially evolved country in the world. Let's be vigilant; this is dangerous.
