Who2 Biography: Chelsea Clinton, Political Relative

Born: 27 February 1980
Birthplace: Little Rock, Arkansas
Best Known As: Daughter of President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton

Chelsea Clinton is the daughter of former U.S. president Bill Clinton and New York
senator (and former First Lady) Hillary Clinton. Chelsea was
12 when Bill Clinton was elected president; she began studies at Stanford University in 1997, graduating four
years later with a history degree. She then studied at University College at Oxford,
where her father was a Rhodes Scholar in 1968-70; Chelsea earned a master's degree
in international relations. Although she was mostly shielded from media scrutiny while
living in the White House, as an adult she began to be featured in gossip columns as
she associated with celebrities like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. After Oxford she
joined the consulting firm McKinsey & Company in 2003. She began working as an investment analyst at Avenue
Capital Group, a New York hedge fund, in 2006, and made many appearances for her mother's presidential campaign
in 2008.

The Clintons reportedly named their daughter in honor of the Joni Mitchell tune "Chelsea Morning"... Clinton studied at Oxford but was not, like her father, a Rhodes Scholar

With parents like Bill and Hillary, she may have been protected by public and media scrutiny or whatever, but can you imagine what her life was like having to LIVE with those two all those years??? She deserves a medal to have lived to see 28 and still be free of a straight-jacket.

Sounds rather past tense. One can only hope.

She’s got a job like her mother, Obama and McCain.

They always get paid but spend their time campaigning instead of doing their jobs.

She’s 28 years old.

Is campaigning for her mother her job now, or what?

Who is paying her? Is her hedge-fund employer keeping her on the payroll? If so, is that money really a contributuion to Mrs. Clinton’s campaign?

Or is the campaign paying her? If so, how much? Is that money not really a way to convert campaign funds to personal use?

What’s the story?

I don’t know if it’s because she is standing besides the elder Irreverent Jackson, but I declare(!) she could pass for being 50 years old in that photo.

My wife is 50 years old ans looks much younger than Chelsea.

It sure is; I am sure the off-spring of Web "Moose-Lips" Hubbell are easy to spot in a crowd....

Hillary must have had one of those "getting even" moments for Bill's philandering in her past......
