President Clinton has been touting his wife's commitment to Africa on the campaign trail by telling interested voters that "Hillary was the first U.S. Senator to call Darfur genocide." He used that exact line with voters in Aiken, S.C., yesterday, and it has been pointed out more than once over the course of this campaign.
The usually shy Chelsea also touted her mother's record on Darfur, telling a group at Stanford University earlier this month that she was "really proud that my mom was the first Democratic senator to call it genocide in May of 2004 and put a lot of pressure on the Bush administration to recognize it as genocide."
Problem is, the statements simply aren't true.

Plus it sounds so childish to claim to be the first to call something a certain name.
“I called it genocide first!”
We are now : allowed to criticize Chelsea...
You know there’s a joke in there somewhere.
However, since BOR might be lurking, I’m not gonna be the first one to go there.
Chelsea went to Stanford with a real major—chemistry with an interest in medicine, according to Wikipedia. Do you think Mom and Dad suggested that to make them look good—”Oh, don’t worry, honey, you can drop it when it gets hard and our friends will make sure you make good job and salary for doing something.” I guess she couldn’t handle it, but she managed to turn a history degree and an international relations Masters from Oxford into a six-figure salary at an international management consulting firm.
Did she actually DO anything at McKinsey & Company or that big-Clinton-donor-hedge fund?
Problem?
When has the truth ever been a problem for anyone in the clinton cabal?
If HRH HRC called it genocide shortly after midnight, 5/01/2004 Auckland time, Chelsea could be correct. (Other than the "ic" factor.) Sorta like defining "is," but maybe that's in the genes. Or maybe she wuz pushed...
“Plenty of genocide went down on his watch without even a token cruise missile launch”
Too bad Monica wasn’t scheduled to testify during the genocide, or there would have been a cruise missle launched.
She’s telling lies? How shocking.
I dunno.
Third base.

Oh, there was a missile launched, alright. And you KNOW what I’M talkin’ about.
“really proud that my mom was the first female Democratic senator from New York, married to a former President,to call it genocide”
