@Lash,
Quote Lash:
Are you crazy? Your own link only said, "Report: Chelsea Clinton earns up to $75K per speech". Well, so what? Jeb Bush gets $50K per speech.
U mad that Chelsea gets more than Jeb?
Besides, she gives all the money she makes from speeches to the Clinton Foundation, which is nice but it would be perfectly all right if she just kept the money.
Big Lash "Scandal": Chelsea Clinton charges money to make speeches. Oh, the shame and agony.
@Blickers,
There is not a Clinton scandal or rumor and innuendo that Lash doesn't like. You are right, there is nothing wrong with Chelsea Clinton getting paid to give speeches no matter where it is at or the subject matter or what she does with the money. Personally I would like to see more of her and hear if she has any political views.
@Blickers,
What the **** did Chelsea Clinton ever do to command ANY money for a speech?? Don't you have the two brain cells it would take to figure out what the Clinton Foundation is? Jesus.
@Lash,
Palin asks for $115,000 to speak

Of course, the quality of what she might say would be far, far greater than what Chelsea might speak on.
Quote:[Chelsea Clinton] received an undergraduate degree at Stanford University and later earned master's degrees from Oxford University and Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oxford in 2014.

@blatham,
You might earn more than Palin if we judge on quality.
Clinton is a kid who's never done anything worth $75K and we all know it. Feigning innocence re wtf she's putting in her pocket just isn't cutting it.
@Lash,
I can certainly recall all the times you've angrily voiced outrage at the speaker's fees gathered up by Palin and others so there's no way I could indict you here for a convenient selective thought process.
@blatham,
Thanks. I left deep treads across Bristol Palin's face. Her abstinence speeches rubbed me the wrong way after baby #2.
I'm an equal opportunity critic.
How about you?

I'd be curious to hear what she had to say and if she inherited any of the Slick Willy downhome way with words.
@Lash,
Gee Lash. More and more people are catching on to your hate the Clintons propaganda. And it seems I am not the only one who remembers that until 2015 you were an iron clad republican as much as you want to deny it. Destruction by infiltration has been a tactic of war and politics forever.

Lash,
I've been meaning to ask, and this is as good a place as any, I suppose...
What effect or outcome do you pursue with your nonstop slamming of all things Clinton? Do you see it as someway beneficial to Bernie's cause? Are you thinking that you may turn heads away from Clinton if they can just see her in the same terrible, horrible and very bad light that you do? I'm not being (totally} facetious here. I'm really just curious as to whether you have some purpose for all the mudslinging, or if your hatred is just so large you can't keep it from overflowing here.
@snood,
I read the news, and when it matters to me, I share it. I don't have a goal.
I'm still legitimately surprised that this is ok to so many people.
I do think it is also appropriate to point out the name of this thread... I say other unClinton things elsewhere
I was listening to a discussion on CNN of all places, speculating about the ramifications of an Obama endorsement.
Obama is very aware of the distrust of the DNC and suspicions about them putting their finger on the scale, otherwise (the CNN pundits surmised) he would have proffered his endorsement of Hillary already. Something else they pointed out was that it wasn't unprecedented for a sitting president to withhold his endorsement for a vice president or former cabinet member until after the selection of the nominee.
I couldn't help imagining what kind of brouhaha would ensue if Obama would go on and endorse Hillary in the middle of the Bernie/Hillary campaigns. Those democrats who keep Obama in the 70% approval range would doubtless be more likely than ever to vote for Hillary. Those Bernie supporters already frothing at the mouth with tales of conspiracies and complaints of persecution would burn (or is that bern?) even hotter.
I for one am glad he's abstaining.
@snood,
What if he were to come out and endorse Bernie? What would the ramifications of that be?

I think it'd have equal potential for causing serious movement. I think it could all but seal Bernie's nomination. I think it might cause the Clinton camp to really fight dirty.
I just didn't mention that alternate eventuality because I think it very unlikely that Obama would not support his former secretary of state, for whom he has always had nothing but high praise.

She's a witness to history during a period that most people think the country was well run. That's what she gets $75K for. If you don't like it, don't pay it.
@Blickers,
I hadn't been aware of Chelsea Clinton as a speaker. Just did a little poking around. I really enjoyed her TedX-Teen talk - In the arena. She's good.
Her children's book looks interesting. Will have to pick some up for friend's grandkids.
Bill Clinton was educated at Georgetown University, majoring in foreign service. He was also an intern for Senator Fullbright of Arkansas, famous for his foreign exchange program. Clinton won a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford, but left before receiving a degree, so as to enter Yale Law School, from which he received a Juris Doctor degree. While there, he met Hillary Rodham, who had earned a degree in Political Science from Wellesley College before enrolling at Yale Law School. Chelsea's academic credentials have already been described here.
Her parents are intelligent and well-educated, and so is she. I personally never liked or entirely trusted Bill Clinton. I lived in southern Illinois while he was the governor in Arkansas, and the television station in Pine Bluff (now defunct) was the NBC affiliate in our area. Believe me when i say i knew who Bill Clinton was long before he ran for president. Not liking him, however, doesn't mean i thought he was stupid--i didn't. I've never thought that either Hillary or Chelsea is stupid, either.
If a flannel-mouthed airhead like Palin can haul down more than a hundred grand per speaking engagement, then there's no reason Chelsea "Daughter of Planned Parenthood" Clinton should not be similarly compensated.

Entirely irrelevant to the matter in question - speaking fees and who/when/why you find it convenient to get outraged by the money involved.
My goodness gracious. David Brooks on Ted Cruz's speeches
