Chelsea Clinton Trashes Bush, but Invites Comparison…

Chelsea Clinton Criticizes Bush in N.C.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Chelsea Clinton returned Monday to North Carolina, telling college students that the world will “breathe a sigh of relief” once President Bush leaves office. Clinton spoke Monday during a town hall meeting with students at North Carolina State University. She later moved on to Peace College in Raleigh to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Clinton told about 250 people at N.C. State that her mother, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, would work to repair the nation’s reputation abroad.

“I think the world will breathe a sigh of relief when this president is gone,” Clinton said, criticizing Bush for pulling out of various accordings, including the Kyoto Protocol on global warming.

She urged the crowd to register to vote and to listen to past debates between her mother and rival Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

She also couldn’t avoid questions about her father, good or bad.

An audience member at N.C. State also pressed Clinton to discuss the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Clinton declined to discuss her father’s relationship with the White House intern, drawing applause when she told the young man that it was none of his business.

Clinton had a similar exchange last week at Butler University.

And in Chapel Hill, she was asked whether a vote for Hillary Clinton was a vote for Bill Clinton.

“Is a vote for Hillary a vote for Bill? No. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Hillary,” she said. “I’m really proud of what my father did in the ’90s, but I don’t think you should vote for or against my mother based on my father.”

I thought it was inappropriate when students first asked Chelsea about the Monica Lewinsky scandal. But if she’s going to go out and insult President Bush and those of us who voted for and continue to support him, then she invites the comparison with her father’s time in office and the unsavory scandals which were a daily part of that history.

The only “sigh of relief” will be on the part of terrorists, and the world will be worse off if a Democrat gets into office.

It’s a definite waste of time when people ask questions they know won’t be answered and when people ask the same quetions over and over again like the people care nothing about that one question. It doesn’t make the person being asked the question look stupid, it makes the people asking the questions look stupid.

Twenty questions can eat up an hour and when 10 of the questions are the same question, that’s a half hour totally wasted.

Anyways this is how Hillary plans to restore America’s standing.

Her attempt at ending the conflict in Iraq.

Her attempt at cutting unemployment and creating unemployment. Fist she has a broad plan that may create 3 million 10-year-long temp jobs fixing the infrastructure and then plans to cut 500,000 outsourced jobs. This is the new New Deal.

Greg: You’re not really expecting Chelsea to have any substantive answers on policy questions are you?

What I find interesting is that she is speaking to mainly college audiences, most of whom weren’t even teenagers when her Father was impeached. The fact that so many have Monica on the brain is remarkable.

Chelsea also has to get over this attitude she has that she will decide to whom to speak and whose questions she will answer. Her parent’s used her like a prop in the play during the White House years, but refused to allow the press anywhere near her. Now she’s playing a more public role and is still claiming some mantle of privacy? Give me a break!

Looks like Chelsea thinks her “experience” as First Daughter entitles her to pontificate on who should be in the WH, much the same as Her mom thinks her “experience” as First Lady qualifies her to be Commander in Chief. What can you expect from someone who gets confused about wether they are dodging bullets or not?

The Kyoto Protocol? Really?! Check me on this, but I’m pretty sure that Kyoto was shot down by Congress while HER DAD was in office! WTF?

Why in the world is the fact that Chelsea Clinton is speaking to a bunch of kids who won’t vote a story?

I am sure she is a nice young lady but go the frick away. And quite frankly, if Hill gets to talk about her colateral experience while being in the WH for eight years, how is the Monica story off limits?

BORRRING!!!

While not a cork screw landing and sniper fire surely Ms. Clinton knows tha the USA was never in Kyoto, I mean after all Kyoto occured during her father’s watch. Her father never submitted the Kyoto to the Senate for ratification so failure of Kyoto can be traced directly to the failure of Clinton-Gore leadership. The Senate passed a resolution (95-0 and stated preconditions for ratification) telling the Clinton administration that if it was submitted it would not be ratified. To avoid the overwhelming bipartisan defeat of a primary initiative of the VP to be Presidential candidate Kyoto dies in the Whitehouse to the embarrassment of AL Gore.

Is lying a hereditary trait?

Amen, Richard…especially if it’s Obamamama who wins. However, I do believe that with the current crop of candidates we have remaining McCain should win over whomever the demon party picks.
Not that I’m real excited about that…kinda like the least worst of three evils.

“Her parents used her like a prop”.

Reminds me of the way Patraeus is used.

Petraeus is a prop?

If you don’t know the difference between using a small child as a political prop and a seasoned, capable general then you’re a bigger fool than I took you for on an earlier thread.

Robert I think you are od’ing on kool-aid. You have no evidence the general has been used as a prop. You are typical left wing radical and only read talking points. Thre is also certainly proof the surge is working. I doubt you can provide any evidence to the contrary. I think it time to “put up or shut up”
