Bill Clinton: Chelsea would make a great president
Yahoo News ^ | Sept. 26, 2013 | Dylan Stableford

Posted on 09/26/2013 9:16:34 AM PDT by Rennes Templar

In an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan that aired on Wednesday night, the former president was asked whether his wife or daughter would be better in the White House.

"Day after tomorrow, my wife because she's had more experience," Clinton said. "Over the long run, Chelsea. She knows more than we do about everything.

"There was a time in her childhood when I thought maybe she thought she did when she didn't, now it's highly embarrassing because she in fact does," he continued. "So, I feel like I'm going to school every day when we have a conversation."

The 33-year-old former first daughter has taken a larger role in the Clinton Global Initiative, which is holding its annual meeting in New York this week.

Last week during an appearance on "The Daily Show," Chelsea Clinton told Jon Stewart she's purposely avoided politics "for this point in my life," but left the door open for a possible future following in her parents' political footsteps.

And during a recent tour of Rwanda with the foundation, Chelsea was asked about her political ambitions. Her response:

I’m ... grateful to live in a city and a state and a country where I really believe in my elected officials, and their ethos and their competencies. Someday, if either of those weren’t true and I thought I could make more of a difference in the public sector, or if I didn’t like how my city or state or country were being run, I’d have to ask and answer that question.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton insists he doesn't know whether Hillary will run for president.

"I don't," Clinton told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. "Somebody may know, but I don't. I'm not one of the people who does."

Bill Clinton is, and always will be, a low life scum.

Perfect for that warped household:

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton insists he doesn't know whether Hillary will run for president. "I don't," Clinton told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday. "Somebody may know, but I don't. I'm not one of the people who does."

Bush, Clinton, Obama... the US is not a monarchy. Not as long as many of us are alive.

I think Chelsea probably combines the best qualities of father and mother to make a Democrat president: Slick's integrity and Hillary's likability.

Oh, come on now - Chelsea has lots of on the job experience.

Remember, Bill Clinton gave a a seat at the table for the Final Status negotiations between the Israelis and Yasser Arafat's PLO.

At the expense of one Israeli delegate, of course
