What money? Roger Clinton...
While Chelsea Clinton has been spotted flashing her bling (her engagement ring, of course), it seems that her cousin Macy is struggling to make ends meet.
Former President Clinton's niece, Macy Clinton, said she is in such a rut, she uses a government benefit card to get food from her local grocery store. She blames her financial trouble on former President Clinton's brother, Roger, who she says abandoned her.

Who am I supposed to be blaming? I’m a little slow.
I am surprised, he always seemed such a stand-up guy.
Maybe he is a jerk. OK, he's a Clinton -- so I suppose that's a given.
But, she is presumably an adult. Does she have a job? If not, is she looking for one?
Lots of people have adult children that they choose to not support, for both valid and invalid reasons.
Ahhh the “you owe me” syndrome in full bloom.
At least it’s not another illegal aunt.
Enquirer had the story two weeks ago... including pictures of the... well she is a clinton.
LLS
The Clinton’s should spread the wealth. Isn’t that what Obama wants us all to do?

She is indeed an adult. But, she claims she has only met Roger Clinton twice -- after DNA tests proved he was the father when she was 6 years old (about 14 years ago).
Clinton also owes $30,000 in back child support, according to her mother.
But, I'll ask again: she's an adult now. So, what's his responsibility for her situation?
LOL.
Chelsea has a “job” at a hedge fund because hedge funds own the Senat.
all my problems are somebody else’s fault (barf)
Macy is a young woman who is yet to discover that she will either make her own life, or life will make her.
They just managed to get a bigger piece of the American taxpayer's pie.
I'm glad this girl is speaking up. Roger is a known drug addict, but his brother can well-afford to support his niece.....even through college. Why hasn't he?
Figures that rich liberals are stingy with their own money
rich liberals are stingy with their money, not yours
Leftists find it difficult to be their brother’s keeper even when their brother is related by blood.
Does not Obama have some brother who lives in a hut, while he has millions?
Same thing can be said about the Clintons and their niece.
Liberals like Obama and Clinton are only generous with someone else’s money.
Roger Clinton has been a deadbeat dad for Macy's entire life. He is in violation of the agreement he made in court, and he alone is responsible for that failure. He spent the money on cocaine and hookers. Bill and Hillary bailed him out financially on several occasions, and arranged jobs for him in Hollywood, but now apparently, they've cut him off. Chelsea doesn't want Roger to attend her wedding.
While it's impossible to know for certain, it is still likely that her circumstances might be better today and in the future if Roger Clinton had acted like a responsible father.
Roger Clinton is a walking disaster who ruins everything he touches. Despite all that, I would hope that he could reconcile with his daughter in the future, because he is still her father. She may decide to forgive him for his shortcomings someday. It's just sad that no one in the Clinton family gives a damn about this girl right now.
