Chelsea Clinton Stumps for Mom on Campus

January 28, 2008 RSS Feed Print

Chelsea Clinton has been all over the campaign trail and especially on college campuses, most recently making visits at the University of Missouri, Boston College, and Arkansas State University. "I'm here because I do think this is the most important election in my lifetime and I do love and support my mother, and I do believe she will be the best president for our nation," Clinton said at ASU. "Anything I could do to make her my president, I will do."

This is regarding Shalma of texas' comment: "I love Minorities but it's hard to help them." This comment is just as "unbalanced" as people who say, "I love black people, in fact, I have a black friend who I have over for dinner once in a while!" Minorities are people just like you with the exception that minorities do not count the amount of anglos that come over for dinner! If we would stop dividing this country by labeling americans due to the color of their skin maybe then we move forward. There are millions of people in this country who have a difference of opinion but we should all look past our differences and concentrate on the myriad of subjects that we do agree so that we can make our country, the United States of America, live up to what the Statue of Liberty in New York stands for and live up to what is written on it! I would use the term minority loosely, if at all, if I were you. This country was founded by foreigners and if we all went back to "where we came from" all that would be left is the Native Americans that were here in the first place!
I do not believe that when Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand (Ferndinand II of Castile, Ferdinand V of Aragone) sent Christopher Columbus with three ships called the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria that they were thinking that they were going to discover a land in which Spaniards (people of spanish decent) would be considered minorities in the very land they discovered!

Chelsea Clinton works for a New York Hedge Fund called the Avenue Capital Group. This is a company which invests in the distressed debt market and which also happens to be run by folks who have been big financial supporters of her parents. (So much for getting her job on the merits.)
Investors in distressed securities typically make an assessment not only of the issuer’s ability to improve its operations but also whether the restructuring process increases the investors' wealth. This typically means things like stripping out pension assets and moving high wage jobs overseas.
Avenue Capital Group and firms like it profit from downturns in the economy and foreclosures and bankruptcies. There are more than a few voters in Pennsylvania, Indiana, North Carolina and beyond who have a right to hear how Chelsea Clinton rationalizes her chosen professional career with her pro-working man rhetoric.

Yes, she'll stump for her Mom, that's what kids do! However, Hillary's need to canvas NY State to see what the problems are only reinforces the fact that she is not a New Yorker, never was and simply adopted NY because it served as a stepping stone for her planned run for the White House. She will continue to do and say whatever it takes to get elected (even crying!) and she learned that lesson well from her husband!
