Chelsea Clinton Disses Her Dad Again: Hillary Would Be Better President Than Bill

It's not the first time Chelsea Clinton has dissed her dad to promote her mom's candidacy. During a campaign stop in North Carolina, Chelsea said her mother would be a better president than her father "because she is more prepared and more progressive."

Clinton told about 300 people at Duke University on Tuesday that former President Bill Clinton didn't have a complete grasp of the inner workings of Congress when he took office in 1993.

The former first daughter said her mother, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, will benefit from her time as a New York senator.

Only last month, Chelsea Clinton was videotaped telling a crowd in Pennsylvania that "I do think she'll be a better president" than my father.

Chelsea is a Clinton, and a Clinton would say and do ANYTHING to get elected.

Tell me what's new.

Now, I am not a fan of the Senator from New York, but I do have to say, Chelsea is speaking the truth. Her mother at least has the fracking sense to never have the American have to read about some stains a President left on someone's clothes.

But that still does mean we deserve better. Mostly of it is the Senator passion for power and disregard for the truth that distrubes me.

[SouthpawSass]

roflmao... The same exact thought occured to me with the dress issue. Hillary would have never let it remain... She probably has a Tide stick carried in her purse for such an occasion. If not, then just what kind of a President would she be? After all, one must be prepared for ALL emergencies.

I'm shocked, yet ANOTHER misleading Headline from the Huff Post. You people are worse than Fox News.

[RoseMerry]

You haven't been here long. This is SOP here.

Sad.

[LAJonathan]

I could just hear Bill "Chels, say ANYTHING, I don't care what you have to do we are $200M in the hole to a hell of a lot of people" LOL

[Chandidevi]

I think Daddy has "mad cow disease". Anyone watch "Boston Legal"?

[verlaine]

Chelsea is an imperious, spolied brat who doesn't have the guts to answer questions from journalists.

She should go back to her overpaid financial services job where she earns money on the backs of the working class people whom her mother pretends to care about.

[HLMerkin]

True dat.

[LivingStardust]

What the Hell makes her opinion even worth weighing? She's a former President's daughter. Being a brain surgeon's daughter would not qualify her to diagnose a neurological disorder. I don't care what she thinks about anything. She's a practically a child - talking about a cheating parent I might add - and I weigh her comments appropriately.

[LBM]

Chelsea is the most refreshing person in this entire campaign. Stop twisting her words and trying to create drama. She loves both her parents, and I'm sure her Dad told her to say that.

I hate to break up the Clinton hatefest but if I say I like steak better than lobster that doesn't mean that I'm "dissing" lobster.

[katefranklin]

(Mis)spoken like a true Clinton. Chelsea, you're a chip off the old block. Somebody get Bill a blanket. It can get cold under the bus.

[ibsteve2u]

Just think what we could look forward to if only Chelsea had been a boy...a political marriage between the Bushes and Clintons, and then move over, Romanovs!

[HLMerkin]

She could hook up with Neil Bush's son, W's nephew, Pierce Bush:

Saying that as a Governor he did not have as good a grasp of Congress as his wife the Senator now does is somehow a "diss"?

OK, Huffpo...ok.

[iamFrank]

Bill look like he is healing up well, the swelling around the eyes has gone down and he has so color back in his face. Every time Hillary goes down in the rating, those two must beat the living hell out of him.

Gee do you think the little gal has some "bitter feelings towards dear ol Dad??"

[PaleMail]

Does anyone really take Chelsea seriously? Where was she when her mother was telling and re-telling the Bosnian fairytale? Keeping mum for the sake of political expediency, I suppose.

[sharonh]

This article should have been titled "Chelsea praises her mother". More anti-Hiliary bias. I realize Huffington Post supports Obama but this sort of misleading headline is more typical for Fox. If Bosnia "fairytail" is the only negative you have, well...

[LisainNYC]

"Bosnis fairy tale" is by no means the only negative anyone has on Hillary Clinton.

How about her outrageous and irresponsible threat to use nuclear weapons on Israel, just to name a few.

[AnnieinOR]

the apple doesn't fall far from the tree - she is her mother's daughter -say anything no matter who you hurt to achieve your goal. They must be so proud.
