I'm Going to See Chelsea Clinton Tomorrow. If I get to ask her a question, what should I ask?

[MadBadger]

She is the only representative of the Clinton family that I know will be in Madison, WI for now, so If I can Id like to ask a substantive question, while completely recognizing that she isnt her mother or her father. Any Ideas?

[joshcryer]

1. "Josh Cryer would like to get to know you, can I give him your number?"

;)

[MadBadger]

3. I'm assuming she has secret service protection.

[joshcryer]

9. She can "Google" me!

Heheh.

[Diane R]

2. There isn't a chance in the world that Chelsea Clinton will take questions.

[MadBadger]

5. Nope, the site says she will.

[joshcryer]

12. She'll take issues questions, not bullshit reporter "questions."

[Trajan]

13. I have a feeling this is a short change

Of a bright, intelligent daughter of a famous candidate ....

While this is just a little slap, I expect others to cross that line soon ....

And THAT is too bad ....

[DURHAM D]

15. She takes them all the time - from people but not reporters.

Show your ignorance much?

[Berry Cool]

51. And as we all know, reporters are not people.

They just put their asses on the line (some of them) to bring us the news.

It's not like any of them are human or anything. :sarcasm:

[rodeodance]

54. She takes questions--her format is like Hilliarys-talks a while and then takes questions

[gateley]

4. I'd just tell her what an outstanding person she has become, and she's an

inspiration to young women everywhere.

If you ask her a policy question, you'll just get her mom's response.

I'm really impressed by Chelsea.

[NJSecularist]

10. Me too

I love Chelsea. She's a great girl.

[hiaasenrocks]

6. ID yourself as a member of the media and ask her for an interview.

[NightWatcher]

7. ask her about the "P" word

does she like puppies?

[JimGinPA]

8. Ask her if she'll campaign for Obama when he wins the nomination

:dilemma:

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. That's a great question

:)

[journalist3072]

11. Are you going there to start some trouble or something? It's apparent you've already made up your

mind who you are voting for.

So why are you going to a Clinton campaign event? To stir up trouble?

[MadBadger]

Because I have 30 minutes in between classes and the Union where shell be is on the way?

[journalist3072]

20. OK...and? I still don't understand your point. I am convinced that you are going there to start

trouble.

I could see if you were genuinely on the fence about who to vote for...and you were attending the event with Chelsea, to help you make up your mind about who to vote for. For example, there's no way I would attend an Obama rally. I know there is nothing he can say now, that would cause me to vote for him.

Since you're obviously in the other campaign's column, why are you going? To be disrusptive to Ms. Clinton's event?

[hiaasenrocks]

23. You're really obsessing over this.

[TankLV]

32. it's a legitimate concern considering the OP's past record...

I'd warn the Clinton people - seriously...

[hiaasenrocks]

38. We must be reading two different boards.

[rodeodance]

60. ha ha--I have read his comments and agree.

[rodeodance]

56. I have the same sense as you--

[rodeodance]

57. Good as it will be packed-no room for you. This will allow people who are really

interested in what she has to say to ask questions.

[sniffa]

17. And the journalist is on to the next big story

[sniffa]

14. Ask her to explain Convertible Arbitrage

[adapa]

16. I would ask her which she has noticed more in this election cycle, sexism or racism?

let us know what happens

[okasha]

18. Ask her what you can do to apologize

for the DU asshats who think it's just fine that Schuster called her parents pimps and herself a whore.

[journalist3072]

22. Exactly! Thank you! I never thought I'd see the day when DU would become an apologist for someone

who called Chelsea Clinton, in effect, a whore.

It was just an amazing experience on here, to see people defending David Schuster, all because they hate Bill and Hillary Clinton, and their hatred of the parents transferred to the daughter.

Amazing.

[hiaasenrocks]

24. Too bad you misinterpreted the defense.

Or maybe you chose to misinterpret it.

In either case, I didn't see any proof that people were defending Shuster "all because they hate Bill and Hillary Clinton, and their hatred of the parents transferred to the daughter."

If you have proof, I'd like to see it.

Speaking for myself, I defended him (and will continue to do so) because there's nothing I abhor more than people who try to squelch the speech of others, no matter what they say. You fight speech with more speech, not with censorship, whether that censorship is carried out by the government or a corporation or an angry mob of self-appointed Speech Police.

Amazingly, I have more than one channel on my TV. Others should look into this incredible advance in technology.

[journalist3072]

26. Too bad you're so ignorant. There really is no hope for people like you. Would you be defending

David Shuster, if he called Obama a racial ephithet? Would you be defending him if he called Michelle Obama a whore?

[hiaasenrocks]

28. LOL

You're one of those people who will not answer a question, but you'll demand answers from others. Coupled with your quick-draw name-calling, that's just a brilliant post.

Let me know when you find the proof I asked for. You sounded so sure of yourself just minutes ago. What happened?

[hiaasenrocks]

39. Just as I thought. You have nothing.

I'm out of here for the night, but if you come up with anything substantive, feel free to PM me. :hi:

[bilgewaterbill]

49. Shuster is an idiot.

He thought he was being cool using the term "pimped out." You don't really think he meant to imply Chelsea is aa whore, do you?

[rodeodance]

58. Hopefully she will never know the vile that was spewed forth here on DU!!

[Bluzmann57]

19. "Will you marry me?"

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist. I suppose you could ask her about Shuster's remarks. And whether he should be fired or just suspended.

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. I just thought of something really funny, but it would probably get me banned

Oh, I kid. I kid Chelsea!

She's a fine young woman.

[noamnety]

25. Here's what I'd like EITHER candidate to address.

How did/do they feel about the sanctions against Iraq in the 90s?

Was that a good policy? Given all the deaths it resulted in (from the sanctions, not the following occupation), do they feel it was worth it?

When you say she is taking substantive questions, I don't know if you mean tough questions, or if there is the expectation, as some here are suggesting, that anything other than a softball question for Chelsea is being "disruptive."

[Whisp]

27. ouch. good one. but the questioner may be taken away by security... nt

[noamnety]

55. I think it can get through if it's asked right.

Not in an angry tone, how do you justify all those deaths. But more open ended. How do you feel about the sanctions in the 90s, do you think they were productive or was the human cost too high, are they a model to emulate with Iran.

"human cost" is probably better than "deaths" - they probably would prefer the euphemism.

[Straight Shooter]

29. I would like to ask her, other than her mother, who is her favorite female role model?

Thank you. You're very kind to request what questions we would like to ask Chelsea.

[TankLV]

30. try to be civil and courteous...I know it will be a stretch for you from your postings here...

and I'd be surprised if you were civil to her...

I'd warn the Clinton people about you, for what it's worth...

[MadBadger]

31. Oy

[TankLV]

34. why are you even going considering your visceral hatred for anything Clinton?

I'm confident you'll prove our low expectations of you correct...

[MadBadger]

37. I'm voting for her if she's the nominee. I wouldnt vote for somebody I absolutely hate.

Not to mention, Chelsea hasnt done anything for me to dislike her.

[jackson_dem]

33. hnmf is one of the most civil Obamites here

[MadBadger]

35. Awww, thanks. I just have a tendency for extreme sarcasm.

And the occasional Anti-Clinton outburst.

[rodeodance]

63. The 3 post limit will limit that!

[TankLV]

36. hahaha hahaha hahahaha!

that's a good one...!

oh, you were SERIOUS?!?!

[mtnsnake]

41. I second that emotion, Tank

and I agree the Clinton people should be warned. lol

[Rene]

42. I met and talked to Chelsea when she was at the Hartford Ct event for the 22 Town Hall meeting last

week. She is such an intelligent young woman. She spoke more eloquently about so many of today's issues....than I've ever heard from Obama.
After our group had voted on our 5 top questions.....Chelsea kept reaching for more of the cards with questions and addressed every single topic with honest, forthright ideas and/or positions that her mother has taken on issues.
Yes, search for a meaningful questions....because this young lady has done her research and will truly amaze you with her knowledge on a variety of current issues and great responses.
I really enjoyed the few minutes we were able to talk.....she stayed after the event, giving us each a moment for a picture and then chat.....she never indicated she was in a rush to leave etc.

Shy and unassuming...I really liked the young gal and look forward to watching her impact on America in the future.


ps
My quesiton was about rebuilding our countries infrastructure...which would create good paying jobs.
I also wanted to ask about her Mother's position on Presidential 'signing statements' and the unitary President - her opinion of the Constitution and Balance of Power in the 3 branches of government..

[rodeodance]

61. hey thanks for the great post.

[mtnsnake]

43. Ask Chelsea if she would approve of all the belligerent crap you spew about her parents on DU

Let me know what she says, will ya?

[MadBadger]

44. Specifics please?

gotta know what to say

[goldcanyonaz]

45. Gotta recommend this thread for pure comedic value.

[Bonobo]

46. Ask her if SHE considers her time in the WH as "White House experience". Please.

[MadBadger]

47. I think Id like to know what her opinion of the war was before it started.

[mitchum]

48. Ask her why she's working as a hedge fund manager rather than at one of those lofty...

high-minded undertakings she was touting as a younger lass.

[McCamy Taylor]

50. Ask if the Obama people who think her mom has laser beam eyes are correct?

That is the only way I can imagine that Hillary would be able to tell the MSM what to do. She must have learned the trick from Condi.

[JVS]

52. How's ma?

[rodeodance]

53. You have not keep up with her on the trail-she is very capable of responding to Hilliary's

policies.

[Dob Bole]

59. Will she dance with us?

A DU dance would be fun!

[grantcart]

62. There will be no questions but I would like to know why the Clinton

family is happy to release their tax returns after the nomination so that the Republicans can tear them apart with it but absolutely will not let the Democrats see it before they make a final decision.

[DrFunkenstein]

64. Who Do You Like Better: Mary Cheney or The Bush Twins?

I don't know about Chelsea, but that one has me scratching my head.
