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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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).

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.

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!

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! 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!

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.

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.....

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.

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.

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.
