"It's none of your business," she said. "That is something that is personal to my family. I'm sure there are things that are personal to your family that you don't think are anyone else's business either."Right Hon, except my dad wasn't president of the United States and my mom isn't running for that position either. In fact, neither of my parents had extramarital affairs for that matter. Unlike the young Obama girls, who are just kids and are present just for photo-ops and probably don't know much about politics at their age, you, Miss Clinton, are a surrogate giving speeches on your mother's behalf, trying to convince the American people why she is qualified to become president. Questions involving her ability to manage her homelife are not out of reach when the people are assessing her ability to manage the nation.
The Lewinsky scandal was an integral part of Bill Clinton's second term as president, so questioning his wife's role and somewhat permissive nature regarding her husband's infidelity is not out of bounds when doing a Q and A with a campaign surrogate. Her response the first time the question was posed was similar.
Chelsea Clinton appeared taken aback by the question, saying, "Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business."I guess "bitch" runs in the family. As a matter of fact, it appears the trait of revealing as little as possible about your private life, as well as being offended when the media places that responsibility upon themselves. Maybe it's time to employ the "Vast right-wing conspiracy" rhetoric again.
