The Rotten Apple Award: Chelsea Clinton

They say that apples don't fall far from the tree.

Apparently that's true of rotten ones, too.

Back in December while campaigning for her mother in Iowa, Chelsea Clinton declined to answer a reporter's question.

The reporter was 9-years old.

Fox News:

"Sydney Rieckhoff, a Cedar Rapids fourth grader and “kid reporter” for Scholastic News, has posed questions to seven Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls as they’ve campaigned across Iowa this year.

But when she approached the 27-year-old Chelsea after a campaign event Sunday, she got a different response."

“Do you think your dad would be a good ‘first man’ in the White House?” Sydney asked, but Chelsea brushed her question aside.

“I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you’re cute,” Chelsea told the pint-sized journalist.

Then at Stanford U in January, in an event publicized to the five sororities in the Inter-Sorority Council but not to the general public, Chelsea fielded questions about her mother’s presidential bid before an audience of more than 100 young women. This followed a smaller round table discussion.

Chelsea: “We are just trying to make my mom’s campaign more accessible to people.”

'Accessible' to carefully chosen attendees.

Chelsea does indeed take after her mother.

Both female Clintons select the questions and the audience they respond to.

Their definitions of “open” and "accessible" is definitely not what is in any dictionary.

BTW, Chelsea, age 27, a history major with no financial experience, is employed as a big-time hedge fund trader for Avenue Capital Group, a huge fund that manages about $12 billion in assets.

 

BTW, Federal records show that the owners of the company have contributed thousands of dollars to Hillary’s campaigns as well as other Democratic lawmakers.
Perhaps Chelsea's reported six-figure salary is a way to contribute beyond federally mandated limits.

Or maybe it's merely white collar welfare.

In May 2006, at a US Chamber of Commerce Convention, Hillary blasted young people for not wanting to work hard and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter;  that kids, for whatever reason, think they’re entitled to go right to the top with $50,000 or $75,000 jobs when they have not done anything to earn their way up.

I guess Chelsea doesn't count. She's a Clinton.
