In reply to the discussion: Chelsea Clinton: I Tried to Care About Money, But Just Couldn't [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)Everything is seen through the lens of gaining economic or political advantage. Given the bizarre marriage of convenience between Bill & Hillary, i.e., her enabling (through constantly ignoring them or, when publicly confronted with them, ridiculing & blaming Bill's victims) her husband's serial adulteries, Hillary is unable to grasp that announcing a pregnancy can be a tender, romantic, proud moment shared between a husband and wife. Apparently, Chelsea, having grown up in this dysfunctional family, and believing that her mother always knows best, went right along with this staged announcement. And although Hillary was not then an official candidate, boy howdy, she managed to spin her impending grandparent hood to drive home how this proves how much she will now care about the future of American kids.
HRC even had the balls to claim that if the project under discussion at the Microsoft sponsored (BIG CORPORATION DOES FAVOR FOR HILLARY - WHAT IS EXPECTED IN RETURN?) event was successful enough, " so that maybe our grandchild will not have to be worried about some of the things that young women and young men worry about today.
Will some of her adoring supporters get through to HRC that a Clinton grandchild, being raised by multi-millionaire parents, and in line to inherit tens of millions of dollars, will no way in hell be "worried about some of the things that young men and women worry about today."

In a joint appearance, Chelsea and Hillary Clinton announced Thursday that Chelsea is expecting her first child later this year.
Speaking at a No Ceilings event, sponsored by the Clinton Foundation and Microsoft, the Clintons addressed womens issues with moderator and actress America Ferrera at the Lower Eastside Girls Club in New York City. At the end of the event, Chelsea Clinton expressed how inspiring she found the audience of women for multiple reasons.
The former secretary of state beamed as her daughter announced the news of her grandchild, which Im really excited about, she said.
Connecting the news to the topic of the day, Hillary Clinton said it made the efforts of No Ceilings more pressing. It makes this work even more important, Clinton said. Even in the course of my life, Ive seen a lot of progress, but I want to see us keep moving, and certainly for future generations as well, so that maybe our grandchild will not have to be worried about some of the things that young women and young men worry about today. So obviously, we are very excited about whats happening in our family, but were also very excited because of what were doing that we hope gives confidence and support to so many of you across our country.
