Chelsea Clinton’s ‘It’s Your World’
nytimes.com ^ | 9/14/2015 | Maria Russo

Chelsea Clinton may be, like her mother, a little hard to pin down as a personality, but three things seem inarguable after reading that email: She has a big heart, she writes an excellent policy paper and she is verbose. The voice you hear there addressing “Mom” and “Dad” — both wonky and sweet, impassioned and didactic, a little self-conscious — is pretty much the same one we hear in her new book for children, “It’s Your World.” It’s clear that she indeed wrote it herself, all 400 or so earnest, methodically compiled pages. The book is meant to help kids feel empowered and get involved in making change in the world, and at that length, it’s indeed a mini-behemoth in a genre of children’s books that don’t involve magic and are not written by the likes of J.K. Rowling or Rick Riordan.

Which would be less painful:
A) reading this book
B) smashing one of your toes with a hammer

Chelsea benefits from Big Media’s suspension of disbelief in regards to all Democrats. Lucky Chelsea.

Bunch of damn nonsense. I have heard he speak, she couldn’t write any better than that and it was awful.

It is called a ghost writer.

Sad character?

She is a grifter just like her grifter mom and dad. All in on the multi-billion dollar Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation slush fund. It is all part of the same long confidence game.

Bill and Hill have done it for fifty years and she is simply the next generation along with her grifter husband whose parents are convicted grifters themselves. That kid of theirs is surly a grifter in training!

I have heard he(r) speak,

I have kept up a perfect record of never hearing any clintoon or obunga speak more that a word or two before avoiding the sound one way or another.

I truly do not know what they sound like and plan and staying that way.

Chelsea, go home and be a loving mother to your daughter. Quit being such a self-oriented bitch like your mother and so many others.

I used to work in Software Development as a Project Manager and I’ve seen titles almost go to print with the Latin placeholder text still present instead of the intended content.

That’s what happens when you outsource your Devs and your SQA to India.

These are hilarious. Some of you need to go on the road.

I was laughing so hard, my wife came in to see if I was ok.

Thanks for the laughs.

Back when I still talked to her, I'd taunt my liberal sister, telling her I went eight years never hearing the 'toon say a complete sentence.

Almost a shame I have not contact with her now, would be a pleasure telling her the same about the Kenyan..........

She finds it disrespectful, told her I found the 'toon illegitimate, being a draftdodger.

A couple of kids were known to get hernias from just trying to lift the book.

One of the liberal teachers decided to make reading it aloud in class a class project, but they ended up having to bring in the kids from all the other schools in the district, and they even had to bring several busloads of kids from out of state, to help them read the whole book.

She’s trying to sound oh sooo intelligent. She would not have passed Frances walker’s seventh grade English class. She has no idea of how to compose a sentence.

“...whom I spoke with” indeed.....a simple lesson in grammer would have taught her it should read “with whom I spoke”

“it’s clear that she indeed wrote it herself, all 400 or so earnest, methodically compiled pages”

Translation: she didn’t write any of it.

Laughable.
