She's not running for office tomorrow, but she's also not crossing it off the list. In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, Chelsea Clinton -- the daughter of former president Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- says she may consider working in politics for the future. Though there are no ballots to be filled out just yet, do you think the former first daughter would make a good politician?

Chelsea Clinton tells Vogue she’s considering politics and kids, yet again stoking the public fascination with America’s royalty: all the presidents’ kin.

Aw, come on. Let's play nice for a few minutes, ok? First of all the "you people" certainly doesn't show any respect for everyone that should be done as Christians. There are enough people in this world political and non - that I don't care for. I try to not use the word "hate" for anything. I'm glad I'm not perfect and know that i am not. But I feel in the USA,we are entitled to have our own opinions about whatever we wish. I should respect you for yours just as you should respect me for mine. There is no reason to "hate", Simply because you don't care for those you don't, I have that same right. It doesn't make you 100% correct, nor does it make me 100% correct. We are just different, that's all. You have grown having your own experiences and expections that make you who you are and like or dislike the things you do. The same goes for me, and all others who comment on these forums. Psssssst.... I'm going to tell you a little secret, i love Mr McCain and Cindy. I know she isn't his first wife ,but that makes him human. But he stood beside her through all of her health issues and the way they talk about each other, it is easy to see they love each other a lot. He certainly isn't a John Edwards or a Newt Gingrich, that's for sure. I have repect for him because...

He certainly isn't a John Edwards or a Newt Gingrich, that's for sure. I have repect for him because he by his own words and actions shows his compasion for others. He appears to understand others by word and deed. To me, those are qualities neither of the two current candidates show. They say what they think the group they are taking to wants to hear. I have a difficult time with that. Mr McCain never varied his thoughts no matter who was in the audience. Those are my feelings and I'm sorry but I can't debate who is a bigger hater, because to me, that's simply not right and a thing Jesus would not do. Feel free to disagree with me, too. That's debate at it's best.

She is one thing conservatives aren't and that is smart. Conservatives seem to go out of their way to find the candidates with the lowest IQ, like George Bush, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney... For some reason they are afraid of intelligence and education. I like my leaders to be smarter than I am. Maybe conservatives feel the same way but they don't have to aim very high when searching for an intelligent leader when their IQs are so low to begin with.

I thank you for your opinion of me. Scrappyang stands for i love to scrapbook and my confirmation name is Angela, but my friends often call me Ang. And i haven't done this much explaining in a long time to someone i don't even know. I have a very nice life, thank you very much. I don't have expectations towards anyoneonly that they be respectful. Perfection? i'm far from perfect myself and I would never expect that from others. Besides, the only perfect one walked this earth several thousand years ago. What I meant and have said often here, is that when name calling is done, the person doing so evidently doesn't have a good enough vocabulary to make a point without using name calling. FYI, I too am independent and totally agree that both parties are pretending to be something they just aren't.

Just look at who you people look up to:
All of them are radicals, anti establishment, anti business, anti Christian, anti marriage between a man and a woman, anti American. You support a president that goes around the world apologizing for what he thinks is bad about Americans. We on the other hand support all what you people detest which are all the things that made your life the envy of the world, your just too stupid to see that, I'm sorry I meant Liberal instead of stupid, I guess that's the same thing.

I am still trying to nail down this apology Obama supposedly gave to the world apologizing for America. I don't remember it ever happening and I have yet to see or hear a clip with him doing it.

So you support good paying jobs, unions, medical insurance, vacation time, sick time, maternity leave, free speech, free press, home ownership, good public education, affordable higher education, a pension plan, and the ability to retire at 65 or so. Oh wait... those are all the things conservatives are trying to get rid of. It is up to the crazy liberals to try to keep what we have and what makes this country great.

kevjon to Cleaver62 2012/08/16 19:12:09

Don't be such an idiot, people around you are not as stupid as the ones that want to vote Obama back in office by clinging to lying scandalous statements like the one you just presented.
Where do you come up with such BS, show us where we are trying to eliminate any of that except for unions where I wholeheartedly support crushing that criminal group of mobsters.

reply
Cleaver62 to kevjon 2012/08/16 21:41:54

Republicans have worked hard at sending jobs overseas to increase profits. The jobs that have stayed here are paying less and less to compete with the slave labor in overseas markets. As unions go so do the benifits like sick time and vacation time for many workers. One of the first things Romney and Ryan have promised to do is eliminate Obama care and replace it with... nothing. Companies have switched from pension plans to 401K plans so Wall Street can get rich on my hard work. Boner and the Republicans are trying to raise the retirement age to 80 so fewer people will ever get to enjoy any retirement. Republicans for years have been pushing for private school education instead of public schools and Romney has said that you should only be able to get the education you should afford. Republicans have cut funding for state colleges and are trying to cut the Pell Grant programs making it impossible for anyone other than the wealthiest Americans to go to school.

I still haven't seen or heard that clip of Obama apologizing for America either.

On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.

But yet you will ignore Obama's wavers to Muslims, government officials, Union workers and a select group of his supporters and that has been done already in the bill. You are speculating what Romney will do and claiming it to be fact. Do you have an inside source for your information or are you just going to continue to rely on your liberal bias media for your info?

Education should be free. After all, corporations need an educated work force so why should they be given one for free. We as middle class Americans can no longer afford college so corporations are losing out on potential employees. The US is falling farther and farther behind the rest of the world because most of them have free education and their teachers are treated like rock stars. Here in the US, we treat our teachers like criminals and bad guys. You conservatives are just skrewed up plain and simple.
