      What a snooty girl! I hear a lot of "it's none of your business". If she feels that way, why is she stumping in public? Like mother, like daughter. We, the People don't have the right to transparency!

      Go Obama!!! Our Pope of Hope!!!

      Not first. Yay.

      She could've handled it better.
      A witty comment would've look way better than that bitchy response.

      That's the best she could come up with? I know there are better PR workers out there than that–she should have had a prepared statement for questions like that. She came off rude and very short–something her mother is capable of doing as well.

      I may be biased, as a person in the PR field, but there is definitely a better way to handle that type of question.

    13. What?? says – reply to this


      13

      She wasn't asked about Monica; she was asked about her mom's credibility. Typical for a Clinton - she avoided answering the question.

      I love how she feels that she feels that she shouldn't be asked those kind of questions. The "hands off Chelsea" doesn't work if she's out on the campaign trail.

      19

      Huh??!! Did I miss something…Was the question 'was your mothers credibility hurt because of the lewinsky debacle' and did she answer with 'thats none of your business' ????????

      Rude. That person wasn't asking something about their personal lives but about how her mother was perceived after that.

      That was a terrible way to answer that!! What do you expect when your mother is running for president of the U.S? People are going to ask questions about your personal life. Get used to it!!

      Interesting response. Personally I think her mother should have left him and if you can't keep your vows to your spouse what makes me think you can keep faithful to the American Public!!!

      36

      She answered like a reactive moron! The question posed to her was very relevant and it is our right as tax payers and citizens of this country to question the person who wants to run it. If she can't handle the heat, she should get out of the kitchen (or in this case, the campaign trail.)

      The question was about her mother's CREDIBILITY (a relevant point); not Lewinsky.

      i think she did the right thing not answering that question. i would not to be asked a personal question about my parents, that was low.

      41

      Good for her…its about time someone stands up and says "it's none of your business." We all have a past…why do they keep bringing it up. I thought C handled that well.

    42. Mike says – reply to this


      42

      While I like her response on one hand, on the other she should have an answer prepared for this in the future. It is a legit question — whether it is right or not, the Monica Lewinsky scandal does (unfairly) hurt Hill's credibility.

      Jillita, she's hardly a snob for not wanting to respond to something that has NOTHING to do with her mother's campaign. The person who asked was a dickhead for that question and she handled it very well.

      Good for Chelsea. The question was rude and the only way to respond was in the manner that she did.

      That was an awesome response, it WAS none of their business. I think she handled it wonderfully.. I'm so voting for Chelsea when she runs..

      Poor Chelsea. You can tell she was completely floored by that. Who would expect that she would be the one asked a question about Monica. I understand people asking Hill or Bill, but don't ask Chelsea. That's her mom. Very disprespectful.

    51. mimi says – reply to this


      51

      Granted that the question might have been a bit off putting..
      but her answer was AWFUL .. CHEAP .. and not thought…
      she gave a Viseral response to a potentially valid answer she could have answer the question in such a way that it answer the potential relevant question and at the same time closed the gossip part of it …
      what a shame .. she could have shined on such a difficult question yet she choose to be a little brat and answer with that sort of attitude

      53

      It's about time someone stopped ignoring the elephant in the room. It's a perfectly obvious question and the fact that she didn't have an appropriate answer is.. well, pretty stupid. She was asked about her mother's credibility and that IS everyone's business in a presidential race. Politics is all spin, honey. She better learn how to avoid getting dizzy.

      Way to go INDIANA for asking the tough question! And…yeah Chelsea, it IS our business.

    60. Jackie says – reply to this


      60

      That was below the belt. At the end of the day Hilary Clinton is a person and we need to respect that. Lets stay focus on the politics that are important not the drama or the scandals that can be pulled.

    61. Fair Question says – reply to this


      61

      It's a fair question, but certainly nothing that would have an impact on how her mother would be as a president. So yeah, none of their business!

      63

      Wow, that was bitchy. Maybe if it happened to a normal person, it wouldn't be anyone else's business, but Hilary is running for office as OUR President…so it kind of makes it our business. Not a fan…

      terrible response - absolutely void of character in that response.
      and of course its public - thats what happens when in politics or a celebrity. besides, im SICK of women standing by their man in the face of adultery and prostitution! ANSWER THE QUESTION!! hilary has yet to acknowledge that it ever happened. LAME

    66. Dana says – reply to this


      66

      wow- for any of you to say that was an awful response is just rediculous. If you were Chelsea, do you think that if you were trying to boost morale for your mothers campaign that you would want to even put any focus on what her father did WRONG? that was a situation that, im sure, hurt Chelsea and Hilary deeply. Therefore, of course she will answer a question even mentioning Lewinsky with a bitter response. have some heart. GO HILLARY!

      i'm sorry, but she had the perfect opportunity to make her mom look better. just say, "well, as i can tell by the success of her campaign so far, it obviously hasn't affected her credibility in a way that is noticeable or critical." seriously. bitch runs in that family. i consider myself a republican, i don't even support hillary in the slightest, and i could have answered that question better.

    70. who cares? says – reply to this


      70

      does it matter? no. It's just another distraction from the fact that her mother is losing in the popular vote, number of pledged delegates, and number of states won.

      It doesn't matter, but if it helps you feel better about your candidate, wrap yourself up in this and enjoy it while you can.

      I think she was so taken aback that she didn't know how to respond. That was a horrible time for Chelsea (and her family) so I am sure if she wasn't so stunned she would have/could have thought of something more eloquent.

    73. NUNYA says – reply to this


      73

      She handled it the same way any other candidates relatives would have. For example: Laura Bush and the death of her boyfriend back in the day.

      And in the year 2039 when she's running for President of the free world, she'll recall that harrowing experience when a rabid student tackled her to the ground and foaming at the mouth demanding an answer to that question…….. and then they'll just cut to the tape.

      Go Chelsea. Good reaction I think, she basically eluded to the fact that this sort of question is incredibly rude and inappropriate given the context. You might expect a question like that from a reporter and directed at Hillary herself, but from a college student and directed at her daugther. It's just rude to ask a daughter to comment on her parents marital difficulties, especially since it in no way affects Hillary's credibility as a presidential candidate (making the question about credibility does not make the question acceptable, it just shows the tenacity of the person asking the question, ie. that they tried really hard to make the question relevant to the subject matter, when everyone can see that it is not).

      I'm confused. The question was about the Lewinsky affair ruining the credibility of Hilary. The question wasn't about the affair in general. Chelsea's comment was a little rude. I actually think she misunderstood the question.

      good for her, the question was based on a personal family matter and it is nobody elses business. Chelsea was young when it happened and she should not have to answer questions about her parents marriage. It does not matter if shes in the public eye or not, think about Spitzers daughters now!

      91

      thats what American people do (im American too, don't worry) we sit there and focus on the marriage and personal life of the president and forget that at the end of the day, hes a real person too. and you have to ALL admit Clinton was the best president we've had since….well……the early 90s. Just because of the "Monica Lewinsky Scandal" his wife is suddenly bad? because she stayed with her husband. How many women you know stay with there husbands and know about a scandal just like Hillary did? not many. she knew she'd be hated but she did it for the good of her family. People make mistakes. I'm sorry if you cant handle a REAL president and what he does. WE FOCUS WAYYYY TOO MUCH ON WHAT HE DIDN'T DO AND WHAT HE DID WITH MONICA LEWINSKY. good job Chelsea. Its not any of anyones business. Im proud of you.

      I'd expect American people to maybe not be all there, but i don't expect them to be dumb with there little responses like "How awful" how would u feel that at EVERY SINGLE interview you did someone asked that? it would get pretty annoying. (pouring salt in a wound) Its not her fault her father did this and its not Hillary's either. She did what she thought was right for her family. Wouldn't you?

    92. Leah says – reply to this


      92

      Yes- it is our business Chelsea, your mother's credibility in handling situations both personal and professional is entirely our business. We need to know how she handles those things in order to decide whether or not she is worthy of holding the title of Commander in Chief.

      If you don't want to answer personal questions you shouldn't be on the campaign trail. And if your mother isn't ready to divulge information about how she handles things then she isn't capable of being our next president.

      93

      that's a pretty good response tbh.
      that's too personal. she's there to talk about politics, not personal stuff.

      Chelsea On Monica: 'None Of Your Business'

      http://wcbstv.com/politics/chelsea.clinton.monica.2.685012.html

      Butler Univ. Student Queries Clinton About Mom's Handling Of Scandal
      Student Tells CBS: 'I Love Hillary'

      INDIANAPOLIS (CBS/AP) ― The college student who got a stinging brushback from Chelsea Clinton when he asked about her mother's handling of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, said Wednesday he is a Clinton supporter who was simply trying to give her daughter an opportunity to show people "what makes Hillary so strong."

      Evan Strange, a Butler University student who also works on the school's newspaper, The Butler Collegian, said he had asked Chelsea Clinton at her appearance Tuesday at the school for her opinion "on the criticism of her mother that how she handled the Lewinsky scandal might be a sign of weakness and she might not be a strong enough candidate to be president."

      My husband cheated on me, but marriage is suppose to last forever. We are suppose to forgive. We are not above God. If God is forgiving, then we should be also. Woman give up to easy these days. It's not right. Children have to suffer because of it and end up with nothing because they parents didn't stay together. I loved Doolittle Lynn until the day he died. Don't trash these people, they suffered enough already.
