What Chelsea Clinton could have said....

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by one_voice (a host of the General Discussion forum).

There are so many things Chelsea could have talked about, shared with the outside world.
Let me give you a wonderful example:

I attended a $500 speech her father Bill gave a few years ago. He said that when he was president and Chelsea was doing her homework in grade school, he was on the phone with Nelson Mandela. He then told Chelsea to "get on the phone and say hello and talk to Nelson Mandela for a minute, because this is the most important man you'll ever speak with in your entire life." She took the phone and said hello, and told him she was doing her school work.

I am sure there are so many of these awesome opportunities bestowed upon her, because of who her parents are. How nice it would have been to share that with the public she was sent to speak with, and for the country to get to know her. She could have explained how as parents they never took any of it for granted and wanted to share it with her too, even though she was just a child. There are many wonderful things I'm sure, just like this she could have shared. The good side of Hillary and Bill, and as 'parents'.

Instead, we got to see them send their daughter out on her first political hack job, against another democrat. It's very transparent now that they have been grooming her. What a big mistake. You have to like someone first before then can get away with such shenanigans. But we don't really know Chelsea and she should have been sent out for positive meet n greets.

The good that has come out of this? We know exactly who these people are now. All three of them. If it took a license to have kids, I'd take theirs away. Did Chelsea believe she was ready for this and this is how she should conduct herself out in public? I hope Chelsea Clinton stays away from elected office herself. This family is like a soulless machine.

Very disappointing indeed....

Bill also spoke about Medicare and how people with more money need to pay more or something. He said changes had to come and most people $$ in the room weren't going to like it. He went on to say he became a 'burden on the system', because it was true he loved donuts and McDonald's. He finally had a heart attack, and became a burden on the system.

So you see? Bill can eat and do whatever he wants and be a burden on Medicare, but those habits had to change for the rest of us. It was at that moment someone in the audience yelled out "why is someone like you who makes 220 million a year EVEN ON MEDICARE?" "Why wouldn't you go get a private policy if Medicare is so strained?" Bill did not respond, he just continued with he speech.

Not everyone can pay to attend such a speech, my ticket was a Christmas gift. So I wanted to share what I learned that evening, things that Chelsea could have talked about with voters, and who these people really are.

and lie about a very good man. And you think she's classy and smart? Even the MSM Clinton lackeys are hiding from this one. The cognitive dissonance here is jaw-dropping.

Let this be a cautionary tale, boys and girls. THIS is what blind loyalty does to a person.

6. How in 2012 did Bill Clinton know changes were coming to Medicare that we wouldn't like?

He said changes are coming, yet WE THE PEOPLE don't know about it yet? So, we'll be told how it has to be eventually? It's our money, and they just don't want to spend it on us. And there goes Chelsea and Hillary saying Bernie is going to take down Medicare. Yet Hillary, has said nothing on the topic. But Bill already knows "changes are coming". WTF? Does this bother anyone else? Talk about your top 10% of the 1%.

I've known about this and I see what they don't say in public, but I have heard Bill in his private speeches on the road. Who the fuck are you Bill? Insider? Messing with our programs already have you? Bad parenting, using your own children? It really doesn't get worse than this.
Enough of the Clintons!
