Does Chelsea Clinton think mom would be a better president than dad?
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Barbara Allen, an undecided voter, had a question for Chelsea Clinton on the rope line a couple days ago.
“I asked her how her mother being president would compare with her father being president,” said Allen, 56, from a town called Travelers Rest.
Just then, someone holding Allen’s camera was ready to snap their picture. The flash went off. Chelsea could have turned away toward the next fan, but she didn’t.
“She turned right back to me,” Allen remembers. “She said, ‘She’ll be better.’ With the biggest smile on her face.”
Allen had been considering voting for John Edwards. But somehow, Chelsea Clinton’s endorsement of her mother made Allen think of her own mother and mother-in-law, both now deceased, and what it would mean for them to have the first woman president. She decided to vote for Clinton.
A Clinton spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a question about the accuracy of this account of familial partisanship.
I am SO PROUD of Chelsea who has taken an active role in campaigning for her mom!!! I have met her and she is a wonderul young woman!! I have always loved Bill Clinton and as of now he is my FAVORITE PRESIDENT, but I agree with Chelsea. I think Hillary will be even better!!!!
I think Chelsea was being honest in her reply. Who would know her parents better than her? I believe that she has been the glue that have kept her parents together in their times of trouble. My mother was a tower of strength in my household compared to my father. Hillary Clinton has those same qualities, strength, conviction, and courage to lead. Never underestimate the power of a woman.
All the boozing Chelsea did in London shows all over her face and in her words. Is it possible she drank so much that it has caused brain damage? The National Enquirer, along with others, had numerous articles showing the drunken Chelsea passed out in taxicabs and nightclubs. It was rumored she was pregnant and engaged? What happened? The young man's family despised the Clinton "family" as I recall and wanted their son to have nothing to do with the floozy, Chelsea.
People, wake up. Of course Chelsea is going to support her mother. How inappropriate of them, as usual, to have her out campaigning. What happened to her job? She got that and was vastly overpaid only because of her parents.
Wake up people. Of course
she has shown herself to be highly articulate and intelligent. Anyone would take and would be granted time out from a job to support their mother who is running for prsident
You don't see the other candidates families out making fools of themselves.
Why wasn't Bill with Hillary to support her in her loss tonight? He must have had a hot date where he was....no wonder he enjoys campaigning so much.
Chelsea's opinion is pretty irrelevant. If people can't make up their minds without an "Oh, gee, isn't she cute moment," it's not our fault, but don't vote based on this tripe.
HELLO TO CHELSEA CLINTON, MY NAME IS NANCY BICKUM FROM FLA AND MY QUESTION I S TO YOU. DOSE YOUR MOM CARE ABOUT THE AMEICAN PEPOPLE SINCE SHE IS A DEM JUST WONDERING THANK YOU MRS NANCY BICKUM
Hey Chelsea, how can your mother be better than your father? You mother had your father assasinated,. Your father was a honest man. Billy, the alley cat is a whore!!! You and your mother don't know what the truth is anymore. If you guys were under fire, it would have been from our guys and they would not have missed.
You also lied about it. Now don't ever run for office because you lie like your fat a+s
mother. For your sake control your sexually inpulses, from what we read you have very loose elastic in your underwear.
