Chelsea Clinton criticizes Bush in N.C.

By ERIN GARTNER, Associated Press Writer 32 minutes ago

RALEIGH, N.C. - Chelsea Clinton returned Monday to North Carolina, telling college students that the world will "breathe a sigh of relief" once President Bush leaves office. Clinton spoke Monday during a town hall meeting with students at North Carolina State University. She later moved on to Peace College in Raleigh to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.


Clinton told about 250 people at N.C. State that her mother, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, would work to repair the nation's reputation abroad.

"I think the world will breathe a sigh of relief when this president is gone," Clinton said, criticizing Bush for pulling out of various accordings, including the Kyoto Protocol on global warming.

.......

And in Chapel Hill, she was asked whether a vote for Hillary Clinton was a vote for Bill Clinton.
..........
"Is a vote for Hillary a vote for Bill? No. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Hillary," she said. "I'm really proud of what my father did in the '90s, but I don't think you should vote for or against my mother based on my father."



In response to a question about NASA funding, Clinton said the budgets of many scientific programs have either stayed flat or been cut. She pointed to Bush's veto of stem cell research bills.

"We don't know what we have lost under this administration," she said.

Both Hillary Clinton and Obama have started to campaign heavily in North Carolina in preparation for the state's May 6 primary.

1. O..M...G. Did she just attack a republican?

:wow: This must be an april fools joke.

[TheDonkey]

3. It was really biting stuff too "world will breathe a sigh of relief" don't hold back now

:eyes: girlfriend needs to work on her stump speech.

[anonymous171]

4. Well, it's better than the constant barrage of "Poor Hillawy" we've been getting

[rodeodance]

5. "Poor Hillawy" is the made up rude name calling by many BO fans.

[anonymous171]

6. No, it's the truth.

[rodeodance]

9. Yes, it is the truth--the childish name-calling of a Dem Pres. cand. by BO fans.

6. No, it's the truth.

[joshcryer]

11. You people have no class or dignity.

Disgusting.

[anonymous171]

12. What? I just remarked that it is unusual for a Clinton to attack republicans.

[joshcryer]

14. No, you're posting outright flamebait.

And attacking the daughter of a former President who has had so much shit thrown at her over the years it's not even funny.

[TheDonkey]

15. There was no attack. Someone is feeling a little sensitive. Chelsea is a grown woman doesn't need

some poster on DU to defend her honor. If it is getting too hot for her, well you know the rest.

[joshcryer]

30. She's single.

I do what I can. :D

[anonymous171]

16. A 28 year old woman who is campaigning for her mother.

Quit the nostalgia. And I wasn't attacking, I was making an observation.

[joshcryer]

31. So she praises republicans?

Got some quotes to back that up?

[anonymous171]

34. I said this wasn't directed at Chelsea but at the Clinton campaign as a whole.

[joshcryer]

36. Oh OK. It's the campaign in general. Which is a completely homogeneous group.

You need help.

[rodeodance]

43. then go make your own thread about whatever nonsence you are talking about.

[rodeodance]

20. Making fun or mocking Chelsea is a blood-sport for many.

[anonymous171]

21. First she is 28 years old. Older than I am, believe it or not.

Second, she's a grown woman. Thirdly, I was not insulting her. I was simply commenting on the Clinton's campaign tactics so far.

[rodeodance]

24. Most know she is 28 yr old. Irrelevant. Your first post was a snark-instead

of discussing issues, you choose to mock.

:wow: This must be an april fools joke.

[anonymous171]

26. But it wasn't an attack.

If anything it was a mean spirited joke. But I did not say anything mean about Chelsea as an individual.

[TheDonkey]

29. I wouldn't worry too much. They are just trying to start a fight with someone

the Hillbots that have come from exile have been doing it all day. Very unfortunate.

We didn't get the "Don't say anything about Chelsea ever, unless it is fawning praise because if not it is outright flamebait and ATTACKS on this poor girl" memo.

[joshcryer]

33. I never went on exile, and I did consider it an attack.

He was, like you are doing, generalizing about that young beautiful woman in the most dispicible way imaginable. Implying that she supports Republicans and that in fact her attacking them is "something new."

This hate has got to stop.

[rodeodance]

42. What foolishness from you. Note that was a BO fan who did the first rude post.

9. I wouldn't worry too much. They are just trying to start a fight with someone

[rodeodance]

39. No you didn't . But I posted a posted a postitive thread about the campaign, and

I do not appreciate it being crapped on.

[joshcryer]

41. Yes, of course I recognized it as a joke more than anything. But if you keep letting these assholes.

...get away with it, they'll just keep on keeping on not recognizing their own assholery.

[rodeodance]

45. I agree whole-heartedly. I took it as a disruptive rude snark--which I am so sick of.

[joshcryer]

32. Yeah, "she's a 28 year old woman," but "her mothers behavior is her behavior."

[anonymous171]

37. She's part of the campaign.

Remember the Wright=Obama smears? Remember the Farrakan=Obama smears? Remember the attempted Samantha Powers smear that failed because she resigned quick enough?

[joshcryer]

40. Yes, I was not part of those smears.

And I never said Obama was a fundie or ate babies in the last day or so!

But I was told that I said such things.

Your implications are shameless, dispicible, disgusting. You had to use this opportunity to smear a good person in the name of the "campaign she supports."

What a bunch of tasteless garbage.

[rodeodance]

17. You look fookish when you say that as you obviously have not listened to Hillary's talks

12. What? I just remarked that it is unusual for a Clinton to attack republicans.

[rodeodance]

18. And a very UN-informed poster.

[SeattleGirl]

2. Right on, Chelsea!

I know I'll be breathing a sigh of relief!

[rodeodance]

7. Hillary and Bill did a grand job of raising of their daughter.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. Too bad Chelsea's not the one running for anything.

Edit: I don't mean that as snark. She's always struck me as a very smart, sharp young woman. The Clintons did a good job raising her.

[rodeodance]

10. Anybody think she was? ---what a nonsense comment

Too bad Chelsea's not the one running for anything. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

23. It's not a nonsense comment. If Chelsea was a candidate, I might enthusiastically support her.

Her mom, on the other hand, has run such a despicable campaign that in the increasingly unlikely event that she snags the nomination, I will need industrial-grade nose plugs when I go in the voting booth in November to vote for her.

[joshcryer]

13. I hope she goes into politics and runs in 2016 or something. :)

[rodeodance]

19. I read a while ago she does not intend to--but people do change their minds.

[rodeodance]

22. Chelsea will also be at "the state convention of Young Democrats" on Saturday.

Chelsea Clinton also campaigned in North Carolina on Saturday, speaking at the state convention of Young Democrats.

[bhikkhu]

25. Good post - thanks.

I have always admired how Chelsea has weathered all the storms of her parents lives and the microscopic attention, and still seems a good-hearted person, a good daughter, and is happy to stand up and speak for her party and her candidate.

(and, sigh.., apologies for rudeness of others up-post. I don't get it myself)

[rodeodance]

44. Thank you. I appreciate your comments.

[McCamy Taylor]

27. People who attack Chelsea exhibit real Rush Limbaugh type behavior

[anonymous171]

28. She was 13 back then.

I'm sorry to tell you, but the 90's are over. Bill and Hillary are just another political family now.

[joshcryer]

35. Yeah, and she can be instantly generalized into being like her evil shrill mother, too!

Oh wait, that's a generalization in and of itself. Oops.

[anonymous171]

38. Where are you getting this?

I'm not a Hillary hater.

[rodeodance]

46. I get it by reading posts on DU.
