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.
is it because her mom won’t have an intern in white house or because “it is non of your business”- a total denial approach? Perhaps, this is an unconscious acknowledge that she loved her mom more than dad who has humulated their family.
Bill Clinton said his family are not big on quitting. Apparently they are not big on democracy either. Hilary wants 800 super delegates a mere 0.0004% of the eligible American voters to choose her as a presidential candidate against the American voters democratic will. How democratic is that?
JoJo the chimp would make a better president than “slick Willie” and I would vote for the chimp ten times quicker than I would vote for Hillary.
Joan, you forgot to mention that they eat babies for breakfast…
Sometimes I wonder if the Clintons attacked you guys personally. The grudge you bear suggests that.
how can you run a country when you can’t control your own marriage. your husband lies to the American public to hide his deceit and you defend him. He should have been impeached. Hillary has lied herself, making false claims as to her presidential experience as first lady. Maybe next time I’d think about her as a candidate pending on who she’s running against. But if she wins the democratic nominee, I won’t be voting for her. Too many lies and deceit in her campaign. And those who are gonna vote for her based off her so called experience. Ask New Yorkers about the jobs she promised but never delivered. Instead over 80,000 new yorkers lost jobs in her first year alone. She has a lot to correct before she should think about running for president again. She should drop out regroup and try again in 2012.
Chelsea isn’t exactly a genius for coming up with this little gem.. ANYBODY would have been a better president than Slick Willy .. Although, Jimmy Carter would have tied him for last place …
It is a very defensive and snobbish comment, coming from a former first daughter. Simply shows she’s not refined and reflects the kind of upbringing she had. For sure, the Bush’ twins would have responded differently and of course they would never worry about those questions.
Perhaps should could run since she was with her mother ‘under fire’.
Hillary says she misspoke. It should be called what it was; a lie.
She lied plain and simple. But I guess she wasn’t under oath like Bill at the time the she made the ‘misstatement.
In her realm, it is probably acceptable behavior.
Chelsea, that is exactly what the good ole boys are afraid of, your mother will be a better president than most of them have been or ever will be. Keep fighting Hillary
Wow! On a scale of one to ten that would make her a two.
