Chelsea: Mom Would Make Better President Than Dad
As an only child, Chelsea Clinton never has to worry about her parents picking a favorite kid.
But the former “first daughter” had to make a choice Friday when she was asked whether her mother or father would make a better president — and she sided with mom.
“Well again, I don’t take anything for granted, but hopefully with Pennsylvania’s help she will be our next president, and yes, I do think she’ll be a better president,” Clinton said at a stop in Allentown, Pa.
Both Bill and Chelsea Clinton have been hitting the trail hard for Hillary Clinton, in the run-up to the April 22 Pennsylvania primary. Though Chelsea Clinton was forthcoming in her answer Friday, earlier in the week she shot down a questioner who pried too far.
Asked Tuesday whether she thought her mother’s credibility was hurt during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, she said:
“Wow, you’re the first person actually that’s ever asked me that question in the, I don’t know maybe, 70 college campuses I’ve now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business,” she responded.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
All our Presidents have been men! Why won’t the people give a woman a chance to prove how she could run the United States? Some of my bosses when I worked were woman and they were the best bosses I had! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Clintons are beginning to look a bit … oh, how shall I say … DESPERATE and, sadly, a bit PATHETIC.
Time to go back home and stand by your man. Looks like Bill’s gonna be the only prez in your family.
Buh Bye.
Wow! on a scale of one to ten, that would make her a two! (or less)
Chelsea’s choice of preference between her totally unethical, self-absorbed father, and her megalomaniac mother, as President makes me marvel at the ability to make so measured a distinction.
Both of her parents represent the worst in American Politics, and neither deserves the praise and adulation the misguided masses heap upon them. Bill was the most scandal-ridden scumbag to ever hold the office of President, and Hillary wants a Socialist Nation, with virtually no input from the public, and total control of all political decisions from DC.
With any luck, Hillary will lose and be sent packing (or is that carpetbagging?) back to New York, where her Communist beliefs mirror the attitudes and lack of wisdom of the populace. Then Chelsea, who has never demonstrated any sense or wisdom, will finally shut up…
wonder what Monica would be doing in the Oval Office this time around?
I think Chelsea must have inhaled.
I think Bill Clinton was the worst US President ever. The only way I can imagine him losing that crown is if Hillary takes over. Better president? Better at what? Taxing the life out of every worker? Spending money on Socialized medicine? HELLO? ANYBODY care to name a successful government program? How about Social Security? Medicare? Medicaid? Oh wait, they all fail to meet the needs of the people they “serve” and they are bankrupt, inefficient, mismanaged government programs. So what is the solution to our “healthcare crisis”? I know ~ tax everyone out of the country to pay for the largest government failure/program to come! And what about my right to choose what I do with my body? Hillarycare will tell me which doctor to see and when! Then after dictating those things, if my “lifestyle choices” do not meet criteria, I may not be eligible for services. Of course that won’t apply to abortion on demand, which will be covered! ANYONE but Hillary. PLEASE!!
I would hope Hillary would make a better President then Bill, he was a disaster.
I believe that Ms Clinton should have answered the last question about her mothers credibility. It would say a lot about Hillary and how attentive she is or how much she doesn’t care. Either she didn’t have any idea that Bill was cheating (unlikely) or she knew and allowed it (???). It is as big issue as Hillary lying about her trip to Bosnia. She is showing she can’t be trusted, so why give her the presidency?
I’m surprised she didn’t answer “I don’t recall” like her mother answers.
