Madame President Clinton? Chelesa Clinton That Is: An interview with Bill Clinton
Edited on Wed May-21-08 05:06 PM by Doityourself
In the PEOPLE exclusive, Clinton called his daughter's "emergence" the "second best thing" of the campaign, after his wife's "ability to endure in the face of all the blows that have been rained on her: outspent, dismissed, denigrated, declared dead...when I met her, I found that in her personal relationships she lacked self-confidence and was painfully shy. She is having more fun now than at the beginning. If you look at her, she seems perfectly relaxed, doesn't she?"

When asked what he's learned about Chelsea's political skills, Clinton told PEOPLE, "It all changed after Iowa. She realized her mother lost Iowa 100 percent because of younger voters. She was upset, bawled, went to her employer and said, 'Look, you got to let me go or give me an indefinite leave of absence. I'm not letting my mother go down like this.'"

1. I will work my hardest to defeat her if she goes into politics.
It's not that I don't like her. It's just that I don't like dynasties.

7. This was a pretty decent article.
I am surprised that ABC had it in them.

Bill Clinton described the effort to portray him as playing the race card as, "cold-blooded, calculated, manipulated and a revolting strategy."

He is absolutely correct. I love Bill and all the Clintons.
