Some folks are born silver spoon in hand Lord,
don't they help themselves,
oh But when the tax men come to the door Lord,
the house look a like a rummage sale, yes

It ain't me,
it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me,
it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no

2. I can't stand this hire either

Jenna Bush is bad enough. But what Journalism experience does Chelsea have?? I know Jenna has none - it shows in all of her pieces. There goes another job that could be given to a real journalist (like there are any anymore). I see people here at my station who have worked their way up the ladder and they are still in local news (some should have moved to network years ago). And then you have people who are just given jobs and have no experience - what a slap in the face to those of us who have the experience.

3. One major difference in this hire ( I think).....

"The person also said that Ms. Clinton had said she intended to donate all the money she earned from NBC to the Clinton Foundation and the George Washington University Hospital in the name of her grandmother, who died this month."
