Chelsea Clinton Feared Bush Tax Cuts as Twin Towers Fell

As the World Trade Center imploded just blocks from where she stood, former first daughter Chelsea Clinton's first fears included the prospect that President Bush's economic program would stymie any rebuilding effort.

"I was worried that with the tax cut we wouldn't have enough money to repair New York and D.C. and to help the families of the thousands I knew must have died," writes the former first daughter in an up close and personal account of the Sept. 11 disaster set to appear in the December issue of Talk Magazine.

Clinton claims she was all alone in nearby Union Square and unable to reach her parents by phone as the disaster unfolded before her eyes.

"We all thought we were literally going to have fire rain down on us. That we were the next target," the former first daughter reveals.

"I truly thought I was going to die," Clinton claims she was thinking, just before she began worrying about the impact of the Bush economic program.

The disaster has rallied young Clinton's civic-minded spirit, and she uses her Talk Magazine screed to rally her generation to public service. "We need to step up and serve in any way we can," Chelsea urges.

Her own war effort, however, will apparently be limited to following the footsteps of her father, who dodged the Vietnam draft from the safety of England's Oxford University.

News that the Bush tax cuts were among Ms. Clinton's earliest concerns on 9/11 follows on the heels of a speech by ex-President Clinton Wednesday that seemed to blame the terrorist attacks on American slavery and the mistreatment of the Indians.

Clinton claims she was all alone in nearby Union Square and unable to reach her parents by phone as the disaster unfolded before her eyes.

Unable to reach parents, eh? According to her mother, they were out jogging together.

Jimmy Carter's daughter feared 'nuclear arms proliferation'.

with clinton as her father, how could anything scare her

[b4its2late]

I'm starting to doubt that webb is her biological father....

[Geezerette]

Chelsea was probably upset and angry that SHE didn't have a tax-cut coming ... because she DOESN'T PAY TAXES! On the contrary, she has suckled from the government mammary all of her miserable life, and probably always will, unless STOPPED!

You said:"I don't even have a joke here."

See my post #5.

"We all thought we were literally going to have fire rain down on us. That we were the next target," the former first daughter reveals.

Simply too much to ask for. Actually, since she wasn't with her partners in crime...er..parents I'm glad she stayed safe.

[biblewonk]

I don't.

[tear_down_this_wall]

She needs plastic surgery just to be ugly.

You said:"I'm starting to doubt that webb is her biological father...."

It's all a matter of the "nature" vs "nurture" argument.

[Sister_T]

Can you say "manure"?

When I saw the towers hit and subsequently fall, the LAST thing I thought about was politics! I thought about the victims, this country and what we were going to do next.

Does she REALLY expect us to believe that she was that "deep" and thought about the affects of Bush's tax cuts? Give me a break!

About 300 people paid $100 each for a luncheon of Froglegs and catfish.

Oh yuck!!! Believable, tho, for one of his "fundraisers"!

Ranks right up there with, I did not inhale, I grew up a Yankess fan, I did not have sex with that woman, and those ******* jew bastards.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

No wonder they kept her off-limits for so long.

[CaliforniaDreamer]

I think the British press has her scared.

[CaptRon]

I would like to know the chances of her actually thinking about tax cuts while being a few blocks from the worst terrorist attack we have ever seen in America.

She's a little Democrat stepford-daughter. Taxes are always on her mind, especially how to get them from you.

Anybody know if any of the Clintons have donated to the relief fund yet? Surely, New York Senator Hillary should, wouldn't you think? Or the xpotus who scarfs up $100,000+ speaking fees? And now their "scholar" daughter, who's obviously been paid for this navel-gazing piece about her non-event?
