39. I am not that all impressed with Chelsea Clinton
Mon Feb 17, 2014, 04:59 PM
Feb 2014

I know that she is being groomed for a political career, following in her parents footsteps and I appreciate her defending gay rights.

After Chelsea's background of residing in the Whitehouse, her outstanding education along with world travel, I expected her to enter a more caring profession rather than the HedgeFund. I admired her as she, at such a young age became the glue keeping her parents together, yet I have not seen nor heard of any actions or deeds that she has given back to any one group or organization.
My children and grandchildren who have far less to offer their communities, have provide more than Ms Chelsea has.
