Chelsea Clinton's Heartfelt Confession: "I Was Curious If I Could Care About Money And I Couldn't"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

The American public won't; The cocksuckers in the press haven't stopped fawning over them since '93.

Which is funny, I don't recall the press ever giving two f**ks about children of Republican presidents (outside of possible scandals).  Wonder why that is?

PS: None of this matters; Two candidates will be "nominated" by the backroom power brokers in New York, and the professional voting class will cast their vote for the one who has "their" letter after their name (either to continue the FSA or to "shrink" it -- something the (R) team has been failing at for 40 years now).

And so the world turns, burning as fast as ever.

Simple, she didn't earn it. She would care if she had to work her ass off for every cent, lucky for her she didn't have to. Having said that, dumb slut, it's not necessary to say that openly. But then again, neither she loses her sleep over public opinion.

Tue, 06/24/2014 - 15:41 | 4890445 Jena

But the truth is that she does care about it, and deeply too. Any time someone says it's not about the money, it always is. When they protest in any fashion about money as she did there, it's about the money. She would be living anonymously rather than the fancy life. She wouldn't have accepted the fat salary at NBC if she didn't care about it. She could have donated it but that would go against her genetic profile.

We won't see much more of her as it gets closer to the election because she won't be able to fake any bit of the populist thing. Not that Bill or Hillary can these days either, apparently.

These foundations are a scam for the rich...

The way it works is that they are required to pay out a certain percentage a year, not much, now the Walmart family loves these types of foundation funds/trusts since after twenty years all the money left over reverts back to the family members inheriting it tax free. Meanwhile that money was invested and the foundation just pays out money earned on the investments of foundation funds.  As a bonus the worthless kids are kept on the board earning a good income till their big payday twenty years down the line.  Biggest scam in the world and the family looks benevolent and says we leave nothing to our kids which is BS.

It seems likely that she's been eating and swallowing all the shit her mother and father serve her.

"You are what you eat" is also a metaphor that perhaps would be better stated as "you are what you consume". "Consume" includes what you see, hear, smell, and feel as well as what you put in your mouth.

I could be wrong, but did she marry a Banker or Lawyer?  I may be wrong, but he was Jewish right? I only bring that up, as her mother, soon to be presidential candidate, is deeply held in sway by AIPAC the famous and very powerful Jewish/Israel lobby. It is evident from history that this lobby is often able to use America and American soldiers as puppets to do Israel's desired fighting and destroying of nations. Like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Libya and various mass scale drone wars. Anywhere Israeli influence needs to be spread by bombs, the USA seems ready to go.

Hitllery made sure the son in law would be Jewish so she could get the unequivocal support and money of the jewish lobby.  Funny how the pregnancy happened just before she will announce her election.  She knows how much it would mean to the jewish community to have a jewish grandchild playing on the white house lawn.  She is a cunning and dangerous woman, if I were the jewish community I would be very scared of her and wouldn't let her into the community.

Jack, sometimes I agree with you- Sometimes I think you're fulla shit, and may have discovered part of the reason why...

Please don't confuse Jewry with Zionism, they're not the same.  I myself, am not a Jew (agnostic, I reckon), but I've never dealt with a Jew who was not just a schmuck like me.  Zionists on the other hand (our founders called them International Jews), are hell-bent on 'cleansing or enslaving'' the planet of all who oppose them by what JFK called covert means.  That's why they're over-represented in banking and media, etc.  When you hear someone say 'Jew banker', know that they are misled.  What they mean is 'Zionist banker'.

It is so much easier to not care about money when you've never had to worry about housing, clothing, food, education, healthcare, transportation,  travel and getting whatever you want at your every whim.   Very easy to be magnanamous about life when you have never had to fight, claw, and struggle for everything you've ever gotten.   Her ignorance is beyond comprehensible and the narrative the Clinton's are trying to spin and the media is apparently letting them get away with it is not only laughable but also quite insulting.  Is it too much to ask for the journalist covering their press junketts grow some balls, have some integrity and call them out on their bullshit?

How the worm turns as 30 years ago if journalist didn't have these traits they were relegated to kissing hollywood ass.  Now the job requires kissing political ass.  So much for freedom of the press.  Of course it does take some guts to buck a trend and only journalist themselves can change the climate by not being such "political jock sniffers".   Back in the good ole days everyone wanted to be the next "Woodward and Bernstein" or what we thought they were.  Now they just want to get to go on the cushy press junkets and "party like rock stars".  

In the end real journalist will be honest and unmerciful.  Until then we are all in danger from politcial abuse.  They certainly had balls when GW was in the whitehouse.  What happened?

The difference between 30 years ago and now is that 30 years ago not every daily,weekly,monthly print and every radio, TV broadcast were not controlled by 6 mega corporations.

Whose control and direction were ushered down thru the chain of command to every reporter, controlling every word/phrase.

That is the difference.

It really isn't "... They just want cushy jobs..."
Those are the ONLY ones that get hired.

Except for exceptions like Rolling Stone and Matt Taibbi. Et al.

She does not care about money because she has never NEEDED to care about money.  Let her work as a hostess for $25k a year for the next 10 years and struggle to live in a studio apt.  and she will probably need anti depressants.  

 

She is saying these statements thinking that she is some enlightened individual that does not stoop to the low level of the "conservatives" that are soooo greedy and only care about "money".

Not caring about money is easy for someone who has never had to worry about where it was coming from, but that isn't Chelsea's fault. She was raised that way.
Her parents, on the other hand, DO have some memories, albeit old, of how it feels to have to care about money. And so I find Hillary's "dead broke" comment MUCH more offensive, as she DID know better. As did Bill when he signed NAFTA, among other things.
I give the 'kid' a pass. The parents deserve to pay full freight.

Perhaps Hillary's "dead broke" comment was a result of some sort of identity disorder that causes her to project the country's finances in place of her own. Sort of a sociopathic empathy.

"Hillary Clinton will test today whether she can still drive home a populist message"

 

Hillary is rich.  Claiming she was dead broke or not that well off, is an insult to anyone's intelligence.  99+% of the population is not as well off as she is.

If Hillary wants to drive home a populist message of economic justice, she should do what Jesus told the rich man- give her fortune away to the poor.

“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.”

 

How about putting it in the context of a book deal for millions and adding in fees for speaking engagements.  Bernanke gets $250,000.  The rate was lower in 2001, but it wouldn't have been difficult to have lined up a number of them.  Proper context was that the Clinton's were not dead broke.

Listen up, American SUCKERS,

Don't you get it at all? The Democrats are showing you your next generation of talking heads. The executive of the Democrats has

selected their next protege for your highest political office. She

is not like her parents just because she lives in the lap of luxury

with a $10 Million USD home and they are establishing 'Chelsea'

as being just like you in terms of her 'likes' and 'dislikes'. Frankly, Chelsea is being brought out for leverage purposes by her parents so that she can help garner the vote for Hillary when she makes the announcement that she will run for the American Presidency. Chelsea is being trained in political shilling for Democrats. Her advisors are the same that advise her parents and the band plays on. Chelsea is simply telling everyone that she has taken center stage as a prop for her mother's electoral run. The unconscious message is that if you vote for Hillary you will end up with her daughter down the 1000

mile political road. Don't forget that they are attempting to etablish themselves as a political dynasty like the perennial Bush clan member that crops up every election round. Americans don't have a monarchy so they are attempting to invent one or two so that they can ply Americans for their support. Two families govern all of the USA every election.

Bill Clinton was a political liability and embarrassment to all Americans en masse but they have never left the political stage

and now Hillary and Chelsea want their entitlements as well.

It's like tennis between the Bush family and the Clinton family.

Who would you rather watch playing tennis or golf on the TUBE ?

Chelsea would look nicer than Jeb IMHO but then again why do you always just limit yourselves to two bozos when the USA contains so much more than that?

Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus could do a better production than the Clintons or Bush family IMHO.
