It’s the only title better than President of the United States.
Bill Clinton was named “Father of the Year” by the National Father’s Day Committee on Tuesday as the former leader was celebrated by family and friends for his accomplishments as a dad.
“I [RECEIVED]a text message from Hillary saying, ‘Congratulations. I think you deserve this,” a smiling Bill Clinton told an audience at a Save the Children benefit, where he was presented the award. “In our family, that’s a very big deal,” he said, according to PARADE.
The former President’s daughter, Chelsea Clinton, made a surprise appearance to honor her dad. “Every day he’s my dad, and I don’t need an award to tell me he’s the best that I ever could have hoped for,” she said. The former President went on to recount the arrival of his only daughter in a touching speech.
Clinton, 66, said the baby was in a breech position when they arrived at the hospital and baby Chelsea would have to be delivered via cesarean section.
“If you send (Hillary) into that room without me, I think you’re making a big mistake … I want to see my daughter born,” Bill Clinton recalled.
“They let me go in and hold Hillary’s hand. I saw Chelsea come out,” he added. “And from that day to this, I have believed without the shadow of a doubt that it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.”
Chelsea, now 33, made a surprise appearance, too, much to the delight of her father.
“Every day he’s my dad, and I don’t need an award to tell me he’s the best that I ever could have hoped for,” she said. “But I’m grateful he’s getting the recognition that I, his unapologetically biased daughter, think he’s always deserved.”

Oh brother how would he know Webb is her daddy
If I ever win this award, I will be so angry.
I feel like bugs are crawling on my skin after reading this garbage...
He gets a BJ from a 19 year old, not much older than his daughter, and is named Father of the Year. If he’d actually “poked” Monica what award would they have given him?
I have no idea who this group is but they can’t have an ounce of integrity.
An unusually sleazy guy who completely disrespected his marriage and therefore his family named Father of the Year.
I have a give him credit for bringing up another man’s child as if it were his own.
How many kids does Slick have?
have to
They obviously didn't poll Bernard Lewinsky or any other father who has had a lowlife dirtbag take advantage of their daughter.
A Noble Piece Prize.
This would only make sense if the award came from some porn magazine.
Bill Clinton: The same scum who made 12 year old girls wonder what oral sex was all about.
I’m trying to figure if he is a father once, twice or no times. Lots of hearsay on all estimates.
