Chelsea Clinton's Heartfelt Confession: "I Was Curious If I Could Care About Money And I Couldn't"
It has not been a good month for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
It all started when the former first lady said in an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer that she and Bill Clinton were "dead broke" when they left the White House in January 2001: a statement that clearly disagreed with the facts, and certainly came off just a tiny bit insensitive at a time when the bulk of the nation can far more accurately be described as "dead broke" (even when accounting for the harsh winter weather). She followed it up by telling Britain’s Guardian newspaper that the couple isn’t "truly well off."
So now it is damage control. As Bloomberg reports, "Hillary Clinton will test today whether she can still drive home a populist message, even after handing critics in both parties an argument that she’s lost touch with the public. She’ll speak in Denver at a Clinton Global Initiative forum on “economic justice,” just as she tries to rebound from a round of comments in which she suggested that she and former President Bill Clinton aren’t really rich."
At least hypocrisy knows some bonds and the forum isn't called "economic injustice."
But what likely hurt her attempt to appear as "one of us" namely the peasant proletariat (despite her bank account), are comments by her daughter Chelsea, who as a reminder is married to a hedge funder, whose turn it is now to insist she isn’t “well-off” according to a recent interview, in which she claims she couldn't care less about money.
"I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,” she told Fast Company in an interview that ran in the magazine's May edition, explaining why she gave up lucrative gigs to join her family’s philanthropic foundation.
Perhaps the reason why Chelsea can't care about money (at some fundamental level) is because she has more of it than she can spend in one lifetime? But we digress.
As Daily News recounts, Chelsea compared her experience to the average millennial, and defended jumping around to different careers — from consulting to a hedge fund to academia to journalism — before finding her true calling working with her parents.
For those curious what the average millenial's life is like please read "Millennials Devastated As American Dream Becomes Nightmare For Most." As for Chelsea's fable, read on:
“It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents? I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents … it’s a funny thing to realize I feel called to this work, both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make,” she continued about her reluctant status as a boomerang kid.
Trust us Chelsea: it is even more frustrating when one does not not have option of jumping from job to job, taking advantage of relentless nepotism where employers merely hire you for political kickbacks from your parents and not for your contributions, and not having to worry about money, especially when one can bury their sorrows in a 10 million Gramercy Park apartment.
“I will just always work harder (than anybody else) and hopefully perform better,” said Clinton, who along with former banker husband Marc Mezvinsky, purchased a $10.5-million Gramercy Park apartment in 2013. “And hopefully, over time, I preempt and erase whatever expectations people have of me not having a good work ethic, or not being smart, or not being motivated.”
Daily News sardonically observes that "the Clinton name likely opened doors for the political heiress, including an eye-popping $600,000 annual salary for an irregular stint as an NBC special correspondent."
Indeed, as we reported previously when observing the life of this "average millennial", "NBC Paid Chelsea Clinton $600,000 Annual Salary For Occasional Work"
Chelsea insists her work speaks for itself.
And just to complete the circle, here is Bill himself, attesting that neither his wife (nor daughter by implication) are "out of touch."
Former President Bill Clinton on Tuesday defended his wife Hillary Clinton's recent comments on wealth, saying she is “not out of touch.”
In a discussion with NBC's David Gregory as part of the Clinton Global Initiative, the former president backed up his wife's remarks about being “dead broke” when the couple left the White House.
“It is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt,” Clinton said, as Hillary Clinton and his daughter Chelsea looked on. The former president argued that the reporters asking his wife the questions “should put this in some sort of context.”
...
Asked if Americans resented politicians of means in general, Bill Clinton replied, “I don't think most Americans resent somebody else doing well. They resent that they're not getting a fair deal. They want the bottom to grow. They want the middle to grow.
“You just have to be transparent and tell people the truth,” he said.
Gregory asked Clinton if the general debate on the Clintons' wealth was unfair.
“No,” the former president replied, adding, “I might understand it differently than you do.
“Someone is always trying to change the subject,” he said.
It is unclear if Bill handed out cakes to all present after the taping ended.

It's so much easier to not care about money when you are in the 0.01%, isn't it??
She is clear proof that there is a sociopath gene.
Kaint ficks stewpid!!
I tried not to care about this bullshit and then just spewed up everywhere.
For fucks sake...
Good thing she married a tribesman. Bet ya he can balance the checkbook!
If her name was Chelsea Jones, she would be giving BJ's for dime bags in some trailer park in Arkansas.
wat an orrabile cunt. the spawn of satins.
Agree totally - only saw this movie once but this scene describes the arrogant prick Clinton woman-child to a "T":

"We don't care about money here, Mr, Hughes."
"That's because you have it...you don't care about money because you've always had it...some of us choose to work for a living."
Fuck the Clintons.
it certainly seems like the hidden hand has thrown Hillary under the bus, give the torrent of bad press this past week...
This is one those few posts that make me sick.
"I really don't care about money."
And that folks is "Born on Third and acting like they hit a triple."
pods
She lives in a $10MM pad in NYC...
beware these people.
christ, i wished i lived in equador...
And this comment is why the Noveau Riche as even MORE despicable than Old Money (All liberal trolls, GFY - I despise the Bushes et al & WTF don't you tiresome idiots stay over on HuffPo)
I also vehemently dislike public discourse using the words; cunt and hate-fuck. So you will understand the depth of my rage when I say:
"Let's auction off the rights for the Pay Per View event of the milennia featuring these two cunts, Shrillary and Chelpuke, being HATE-FUCKED to death by a stallion."
Pour encouragez les autres!
All the money in the world cant change that ugly fuckin head of hers...
.
Send the Clinton family to Serbia...they will look after them.
She's a lucky girl.
She can find a job as a village psychopath just about anywhere.
"You gotta rich in the first place to think like that"
~King - Platoon
Hard Choices, indeed.
So two uber-narcissists breed and you expected...what?
Cunning stunt, is my first thought...
I wasn't curious if I could care about Chelsea and I don't.
She is her mother's child after all... The apple never falls far from the tree and poor Chelsea is obviously as deranged as mummy...
Crypto-jews
She might understand herself better if she got to know her real father.
.....is it just me or does she have what looks to be the start of face cankles as well
I hope when the hang the Queen Bitch, the little princess is next in line.
Not cunning. Like mother, like daughter. Just a lying cunt.
What a noble gal....after spending her entire life being handed everything for free. admission to everything for free. free meals just for visiting. free lodging just for visiting. I'm sure as the family member of an x-Pres she also gets life long SS support and government paid travel expenses to any place in the world.
I tried to care about money....what a total load of crap.
the only thing she's never had to try was actually earning a single dollar by adding value.
Born with a silver mallet up her ass.
For most families, wealth has vanished
If you’re a typical family, you’re considerably poorer than you used to be. No wonder the “recovery” feels like a recession. A new study published by the Russell Sage foundation helps explain why many families feel like they’re falling behind: They actually are.
The study, which measures the average wealth of U.S. households by income level, reveals a startling decline in wealth nationwide. The median household in 2013 had a net worth of just $56,335 -- 43% lower than the median wealth level right before the recession began in 2007, and 36% lower than a decade ago. “There are very few signs of significant recovery from the losses in wealth suffered by American families during the Great Recession,” the study concludes.
http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/for-most-families--wealth-ha...
Vanished is such a neutral term.
Try STOLEN
Bankers and Wall Streeters were handed record profits via taxpayer funded bailouts while the Middle Class taxpayers themselves have been punked witout the KY and left high and dry with substantial losses they will never recover.
Why do you think people are draining their pension plans? Working two jobs? Eating cat food when no one is looking? Why do you think retail is plunging?
it certainly seems like the hidden hand has thrown Hillary under the bus, give the torrent of bad press this past week...
Don't bet on it. The Clintons are a vigorous threat. What you are seeing with the Clintons is a typical political campaign. Get the dirt out early and then it gives them a chance to ignore the critics with the "that's old news" "we've been over that a thousand times already" or the now famoues........ "what difference does it make".
All the so called "bad press" will be forgotten November, 2016. Dead people and hacked voting machines don't care.
Rather, TPTB need someone so hated that people will actually vote for the 'alternative' (R) candidate, just to avoid that "vigorous threat".
The Clintons are just playing their kabuki roles, playing the bad cop to try to make us desperate enough to turn to the good cop alternative, whoever that actor will be. There is no way MSM newspapers would make the Clintons look so bad if it wasn't on purpose, according to plan.
But here's the good news: after the election, most people will be SOOOO relieved that we didn't 'elect' Hilary. Pfew!
Talk about a real Horror Show, I've already seen a "Hillary/Michelle (O.) 2016" bumper sticker.
She's one of the few ugly girls that can claim to be a trophy wife.
Miffed;-)
What you do speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say- fuck you Clinton spawn living in a $10 large pad in NY. Just fuck you
cat ass trophy wife!
Typical multi-millionaire hypocrit. Their other favorite lines are, "I really care about the poor" and "I'm a liberal politically but a fiscal conservative." The second one really knaws at me meaning they won't give a penny to charity.
Pay no heed to what they say, only to what they do.
"I have some friends who are poor people."
Those are called employees not friends. They wouldn't be working for you if they were not poor.
The really difficult part for these "charitable" foundations is for the faces of the foundation to actually show some empathy.
Seems Chelsea has inherited her mother's lack of that skill.
And this whole "low in Hillary's popularity" thing is orchestrated so she can make a triumphant comeback while she pegs the press.
bingo. NBC paid chelsea $26,000/MINUTE for airtime.....clearly not worth it....unless you consider the access that half million buys them....
NBC and Clintons.....no blue dress, but the story is the same.

It's a lie.
The cake is a lie... and they are feeding us loads of it.

PETA would be all over you for animal cruelty... and yeah, i mean the poor stallion.
The stallion just needs to take one for the team.
But then retired to stud for "services rendered".
Chelsea should team up with Peter North then. He can teach her how it's done.
Perhaps she should "trade places" with Billy-Ray Valentine for 3 months...
"just as she tries to rebound from a round of comments in which she suggested that she and former President Bill Clinton aren’t really rich."
These guys are not getting it ... she had a glimpse of what reall rich means ... thats what she compares herself to, and these bosos compare her with what Joe Six pack thinks rich is ... low level
another example here:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2667421/225-000-Thats-obscene-Hi...
not sure who, but someone is hanging the old witch out to dry.
Seems that way. Murdoch? The press has been vicious on her.
Classic, Hitllery gets 225K dollars for speaking fee at University of Nevada and that money is payed via tuition increases by the students. Did they get a say in paying that money to Hillary? Of course Chelsea will inherit every ill gotten penny via the foundation. Sure you want to make that possible JLee?
does seem that way, but for who?
Realistically, the contender from the flip-side of the Satanic Clinton-Bush coin, JEB
https://www.google.ca/search?q=jeb+bush+2016&hl=en&gl=ca&tbm=nws&authuse...It is somewhat remarkable how the Clinton train has for the moment derailed, but the thing is - they sort of did it to themselves. They've outed themselves as out of touch, paralyzingly arrogant, shallow, and 100 other ignoble things. She doesn't care about money yet happily accepts 600K salary from a TV network for doing nothing? She doesn't care abour money yet had an opulent wedding and enjoys all the trappings of wealth ( recall the apparently pregnant hooker showed up at a recent function decked out in painted on leather pants and stilettos.
I'd say this spoiled shit is a chip off the satanic block but I'm not convinced that she ( and her supposed family ) wasn't germinated outside the realm of lawful creation in some alchemical chamber of demonic horrors making it difficult to trace one's lineage past a fetid, noisome stew of primordial evil.
So, were you HP Lovecraft in a previous life?
Lovecraft rules... the New American Century, for sure.
She did it all by herself. People just don't like her.
What I find much more fascinating is that people give a damned about any of this.
Its though they actually believe their (no paper trail) electronic machine counted 'votes' matter.
Silly, naive children.
Great clip. I believe just after her comment of being bullies, they go right back into useless banter as if nothing happened
Whoa!!! ACP that was my own, Fucked up family in microcosm! Shit where did you get dat?

And the cunt gets top money sitting on the board of a foundation that will pass her the entire foundation money tax free down the road. The foundation only disburses money it makes from its investments. The little biatch will get her 100 plus million dollar payday dont you worry.
Please donate to the Clinton Foundation charity.
It really must suck when your family gets so successful politically and so visible that you have to give up your lucrative drug smuggling business as well as the pure evil pleasure of having anyone you want whacked.
Poor, poor Clintons.
well they were gifted the presidency based on their silence over iran contra.
not one word of it came up in the pres debates between bush and clinton, now thats collusion.
but don't donate food or blankets, just send cash.
Call me stupid, but inherited money has already been taxed because it was once income. It should be tax free. I hate taxes don't you?
The entire structure of taxes, fees, surcharges should be removed and a national consumption tax in on every purchase added. And Congress should not be allowed to pass any taxes except adjust the Consumption tax percentage level up or down. Of course, that would put 3/4 of them, 99% of the IRS and the lobbyists out of work, so it will never happen.
Yeah but a lot of that inherited money is stolen in some form or other from taxpayers, I think a reasonable limit of money you can pass down tax free is already there, isn't it five million dollars already. I am not an expert.
Something along those lines.
After all the poland jokes this weekend, you finally admit to not being an expert. Priceless COMOS.
Hahaha, who wants to be an expert crook, I ask you Monsieur Atomize'
As far as the Polish jokes I was just offended he didnt Swallow
The problem is that there is money and there is assets. It is easy to have over 5 million in assets if you own a farm,less than a thousand acres of good corn growing country or a 500 breeder cattle ranch will be worth over 10 million. The farmer might work 60-80 hours/week for all his life and be lucky to clear 50 grand a year on his assets. So a 5 million tax free limit on inherited wealth will have repercussions for that farmer in passing the farm on to his heir (who also probably worked on that farm since he was a boy) as that wealth may include no cash (or even a debts such as owing money to the bank or seed merchant).
Taxes on death broke up my families wealth (farmland) during the Great Depression as they couldn't pay both the taxes and the debts.
Yes I hate taxes. Lets get rid of the income taxes and also remove sales taxes. In fact let's just get rid of all the taxes and have the government start charging fees for whatever services it renders that are useful. I'll gladly pay for private schools, police, hospitals and fire departments. I'd even give them some extra for those who can't afford it, but I want to do it voluntarily. I'd even choose to use the services of those that help people in need, assuming I had a choice. Being forced to help your fellow man is rediculous. Let me hold on to some of my money in a real economy, so I can be more generous toward charities and businesses that can prove they are actually helping people. If I could hold on to my money in a real economy, I might even be able to provide some actual jobs so folks could go about helping themselves. I hear that is good for the soul.
Or we could just bring our taxes up to effectively 70% and let the fine folks working in our government take care of us. What could go wrong?
"The entire structure of taxes, fees, surcharges should be removed and a national consumption tax in on every purchase added."
Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile. If you give congress the ability to "adjust the Consumption tax percentage level up or down" then they will. And I doubt it will go down. More likely it will go up into the stratosphere. I would say repeal the 16th amendment and don't tax earned income. Period. Tax the hell out of unearned income if you want which would then level the playing field. A consumption tax would punish the lower and middle class. The ultra rich would simply find a way around the consumption tax by making their purchases elsewhere because they have the wherewithal to do so.
Oral able, simply awful! Bwahahaha!
I was going to disagree, but all those trailer park guys will see is the top of her head and she does have big ears to hang onto.
That comment deserves to hang in the ZH hall of fame
Unfortunately the clinton name has brand recognition on par with the likes of rolex, gucci, kissinger, castro, chavez etc. Now that's worth some money. Bet there are some well to do sick pups out there that would be willing to pay her 500k for anal and a hummer.
Btw, I didn't mean to diss Rolex or Gucci.
There's a reason Chelsea never got a White House internship with Uncle Barky as part of the deal when Hillary bowed out. Bill probably feared Barak would figure what goes around comes around.
Arkansas isn't the name of the trailer park?

it's easy for her to be a scumbag little sociopath when she has 2 of the best in the business to learn it from: murdering, lying, cheating, stealing, treason, rape, drug smuggling...she'll be a true-blue Clinton soon enough. Make papa Slick Willie and the mama Hildebeast real proud of their demon spawn someday.
They care so little for money they drive an old car, never dine out at expensive restaurants, never wear expensive clothes, never fly business or first, spend all their time volunteering to help others, don't have servants, vacation at home ....
I think I saw her just last week checking out books at the public library.

You just described Jimmy Carter pretty well and you see how many accolades it got him.
Well Carter made out better than Dennis Rodman?
pods
Even if he was a Democrat I still regard Carter as the only decent (morally speaking, not in terms of job performance) President of my lifetime. He didn't use his position to enrich himself, he was not vindictive to his opponents and he hasn't made millions from speaking tours. He has that quaint notion that public service means just that.
"...balance the checkbook!"
Easy to do when your fellow "travelers" can "print" up what you need to balance your checkbook.
Actually, you know when you are really rich because then you do not have to. Of course, if you are just one of the serfs, you only have to remember how much your WIC card has left on it.
"Of course, if you are just one of the serfs, you only have to remember how much your WIC card has left on it."
And my personal favorite: How much of your own money the DC US might see fit in "returning," in the form of a "tax refund," to you if they deem that you have been a good boy or girl.

'....explaining why she gave up lucrative gigs to join her family’s philanthropic foundation.'
I thought she was still getting 600K for farting and belching from NBC and the Robertson Family which owns it via their controlling interest in Comcast Cable

mena murders
She gave up the other work because she is a coddled fucking cunt who does not really want to work --- so she has made up a job for herself helping to dish out daddy's dosh i.e. she goes to luncheons and smiles and chats with people --- life is just so fucking wonderful isn't it?
You know what I wish? I wish people like this could be forced to be one of those girls in Thailand that sit behind the glass partition waiting for the fattest sleaziest disease ridden pieces of shit to bang them for 50 bucks.
I sincerely wish Chelsea was put in that position where she valued money (and food) enough to have to do that --- and I hope a tatooed gang banger jacked up on crack and meth walked in there and laid pipe on her for an hour or two.
Surely she'd get humility after an episode or 10 of that (per day)
These precious cocksuckers need a serious rearrangement of their heads --- this shit makes me fucking sick.
What sane person would put someone that doesn't care about money in a position of responsibility of a foundation?
Oh, never mind.
Fucking clueless...

ParkAveFlasher nailed it. That's exactly how these people think. Chelsea probably crosses the street when she sees a black man walking toward her.

Her daddy's an author, and maybe a sociopath...
..... her "i did not have sexual realtions with that woman" daddy is a sexual predator and pathologic liar...
According to Christopher Hitchen's, (rest his soul) he has left more bite marks on people than Luis Suarez
There is no more proof that her sociopathy is genetic, than that it is a learned trait from her parents.

Chelsea: He served time in prison, and my daddy would have as well except he was a lot more clever. Beware of bimbos in blue dresses kid.
"I was curious if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t,...."

I was curious if could care about (water) on some fundamental level, and I couldn't.....until I didn't have any.
What a totally out of touch spoiled little biatch!!!
Does anyone believe these idiots?
My thoughts exactly. It's easy to "not care about money" when you've never spent a second of your life wondering where your next meal was going to come from, or, having to make the decision to give up driving to work, or, not eating lunch for the next month. She's never had a REAL job that she actually went out and competed for. She's never had to make a decsion harder than what color the new Mercedes would be. I doubt she, like her mother-thing, even knows how to make a cup of coffee. The arrogance is sickening.....
I have a buddy in the Secret Service who was on her detail. I saw him at a get-together and asked, "So, is she just a little angel?" to which he gave a disgusted snort and said, "Holy shit - if you only knew... If you only knew...." So, I guess sliminess runs in the family.
At least she eats Kosher...
Let the little people eat cake while we in the ruling political elite live our grand imperial lifestyles on the backs of the hard working, tax paying U.S. citizens...
