Chelsea Clinton: America Needs a Female President
UK Telegraph ^ | 2:39PM BST 11 Apr 2015 | Rob Crilly

Posted on 04/11/2015 12:44:04 PM PDT by drewh

Chelsea Clinton has given an interview about life in the public eye, being a new mother and her hope that the US one day elects a female president.

While she stops short of naming a potential runner there can be little doubt – given the timing of her comments – about who she means.

It is no secret that her mother, Hillary, is due to announce her run for the White House on Sunday.

Ms Clinton told Elle magazine: “One of our core values in this country is that we are the land of equal opportunity, but when equal hasn't yet included gender, there is a fundamental challenge there that, I believe, having our first woman president—whenever that is—will help resolve.”

Ms Clinton, 35, became a mother last year, giving birth to Charlotte, and also describes her experiences of motherhood.

“I now understand—this is something else that Marc and I talk about all the time—all of the enthusiastic, bombastically spectacular, wonderful things people say about their children, because we also feel and think all those things about Charlotte,” said Clinton.

Inevitably, though, after growing up in the White House and having two of the country's most successful political operators for parents, much of the interview is taken up with politics.

And in particular the importance of seeing a woman lead the country.

“Do I think it would make a substantive difference?” she added. “Yes, we've seen again and again, when women have been in positions of leadership, they have had different degrees of success versus their male counterparts, historically being able to build more consensus so that decisions have longer-term effects, whether in economic investments or in building social capital.

“Who sits around the table matters. And who sits at the head of the table matters, too."

Publius911: America needs a lot fewer trailer park rejects, no matter where they were educated.
You can take the Clintons out of the trailer park, but you can never take the trailer park out of the no-class delusional, arrogant Arkansas wannabes...

What Chelsea C needs is a huge helping of STFU. No one cares what you think.

Chelsea is sexist. I don’t care about the gender of the president. I just care about right and wrong. Hillary is wrong.

America needs for the entire Clinton clan to shut up and go far, far away.

You’re right. She’s still homely as a mud fence even after all that plastic surgery.

What?
No ankles? Enjoy you “looks” while you can.
In about 50 years you’ll make the “shapeless sack of potatoes” monthly cover...

Yep, you can google the before and after pictures. There is only so much plastic surgery can do though. In this case it wasn’t enough.

Yeah Chelsea, because with Obama in there we haven’t been feminized enough?

A burp from anyone else would show more intellect.

Leftists are stupid. They think equality means equal outcomes for different groups and stuff.

The idea that equality means that individuals are to be equal under the law (not outcomes) doesn’t seem to compute with them
