Chelsea's Choice: Will Mom or Dad Be a Better President?
March 28, 2008 5:27 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: It was Chelsea's choice: who would be the better president, her father or mother?
"His question is, 'Do I think my mother will be a better president than my father," the former and aspiring first daughter said during an event at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Penn.
Then came her choice.
"Well, again, I don't take anything for granted, but hopefully with Pennsylvania's help, she will be our next president, and yes, I do think she'll be a better president," Ms. Clinton said.
Watch the VIDEO HERE.
Asked about the exchange at a press availability in Hammond, Indiana, Senator Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., seemed surprised and smiled as she replied, "I have to talk to her before I answer that question."
No word yet on from former President Bill Clinton, who is campaigning for his wife in North Carolina, though he frequently tells crowds that his wife is and will be his better half including in a potential role as the second Clinton in the White House.
ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf contributed to this report.

I have no doubt that a Hillary Clinton tenure will outperform a Bill Clinton presidency. Hillary will not be distracted by the third brain, as Bill was.

Well, if Chelsea reads some of our blogs, she will understand that we agree with whatever she says. Not only was her father a very intelligent and successful President, her mother shares some of the credit. On her own, her mother has a high degree of intelligence combined with a passion for her causes she believes in, and an unending perseverance and hard work. I do not believe there is an equal in those qualities since Eleanor Roosevelt. America will lose a great opportunity if Hillary is not our candidate.
This election is about change, all right, but change from what? We all know that--George Bush! We need someone with knowledge and experience and the work ethic to know how to fight for change. It should mean more than a buzzword.

We the American people don't need any more nepotismin in the White House.
We don't need Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton or Chelsea Clinton in White House.
Bush I and Bush II was enough for a Century!!!!

I believe Hillary would be an even better president than Bill. She is more organized, calmer and cooler!

Although Bill Clinton was a great president... PA for Obama!

"Mom" = Bush/Iraq..."Really, We are winning!" Yet the land is strewn with the dead bodies of a failed campaign.

Me thinks Chelsea will be our first women president.

At nearly 40 years of age, I've yet to experience a single moment in my entire adult life where a Clinton or a Bush did not occupy the White House. Whether it be intentional or not, it is oligarchy, plain and simple. The idea that in a country of 300 million that the best we have to offer are a few people that are related is perposterous. The prospect of having another Clinton in the White House means I may be close to 50 years old before seeing a name change in the White House. This is not democracy.

Curly wished that the question had been, "Chelsea would you like to run for President some day like both your mother and father have?" But when Curly told me that I slapped him on the head several times. Larry then asked me, "what's wrong with a father and a mother and a daughter running for President?". I then slapped Larry on the head several times and told him, "it has something to do with the name Clinton."

Who are you again and why would ANYONE care about what you think Chelsea? ...but we did find out that you are also desperate for power and will say anything just like ole dad and mom. MOMMY LOST now GO GET A JOB!!
Posted by: cheesetoppings96 | Mar 28, 2008 6:08:48 PM
Hillary supporters of all sorts tried to paint a positive picture of one of the most negative and polarizing person in American Politics, with no avail...all the polls say so.
Now Chelsea is trying. I don't think she can supress the TURTH of NEGATIVITY about her mom.... on the other hand I can't blame a child from supporting her mom however negative her mom may be.
..but its sounds more like Clintons' ME, ME, I, MY DAD, MY MOM, ONLY CLINTONS, HELL with the rest of the pepole of the World.

It's a moot point of who would be the better president. However, Bill was not divisive and vicious toward a fellow Democrat during his 1992 campaign, unlike Hillary.
As an independent progressive, let's hope that we will not get the opportunity to compare which Clinton is the better president.

These G.D. Clintons will do anything to get back into the White House. If given the chance,they would kill your mother if they knew it could get them back in the White House.

I kind of like that Hillary is vicious. I think she would protect this country just fine ,thank you very much. I think she is one to fear and I think she is very results oriented. no way we would get hit by a terrorist strke with her in office and I think she would work tenaciously to get this debt off our backs and restart our economy. I do think she is an absolutely fearsome opponent, and since it is the office of the presidency of our country, someone who is very very tough woudl be a good thing to have that person on our side. I think she's my favorite right now.

Tony: Sure it's democracy, the people voted for them! Now it looks like Obama does not want the people to vote or count the votes in FL and MI, now thats not democratic!

I don't think no matte what many feels, Barak will never be our next President. McCain will grind him with the right wing machine.

I can’t believe the CNN bias towards Obama. It is really interesting that both WSJ and CNN are taking shots at Hillary. CNN wants the liberal candidate - Obama, WSJ obviously has become a mouthpiece for the republicans since it was purchased by Murdoch. What this country really needs is a true crossover candidate. They both want her down because she is THAT candidate. All the calls for Hillary to step down need to be directed at Obama. He is the one with no experience and based on seniority he is the one who needs to quit if he can’t win the big states. Obama is a dangerous egomaniac and all he is doing is splitting the party by not seating Florida and Michigan. Obama wants to win at all costs. It is plainly obvious. If America wants a black candidate, it needs one who is not brought up with and does not embrace the Black Power movement which targets the extinction of the white race. Obama is not that candidate.
