Hillary publicly blames Chelsea for recession!
Senator Clinton has focused her ever-more-strident attacks on everyone she can think of, and in doing so has determined that her beloved Chelsea is at the root of the evil that is the current recession.

As noted by Rick Pearson at The Swamp:

-snip-

INDIANAPOLIS--Sen. Hillary Clinton appealed directly to Indiana's middle-class voters tonight at a state Democratic Party fundraising event . . .

Ratcheting up her populist-themed, us-against-them rhetoric, Clinton, who with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, reported earnings of $109 million over the last seven years, said: "Why don't we hold these Wall Street money-grubbers responsible for their role in this recession?"

-snip-

Now, everyone knows that since 2006 Chelsea works/worked at Wall Street hedge fund company Avenue Capital, by last counts a $12 billion outfit. If that is not one of those money-grubbers, I'll kiss a frog.

My questions are:

Has Avenue Capital acknowledged its role in the recession?
Has Chelsea Clinton, as part of Avenue Capital, acknowledged her role in the recession?
Is Avenue Capital continuing to pay Chelsea while she campaigns?

3. You are mixing-up Rich Hillary and Populist Hillary.
Rich Hillary has a daughter who works for Avenue Capital.

Populist Hillary slams the Wall Street money-grubbers.

See!? There is no contradiction! ;-)

Now, please move along, folks ....

6. Too funny. She'll eat Bill alive too if she gets the chance. That's why he's campaigning so hard
for her. I wonder what Chelsea did to piss her off!

7. That is so elitist
How elitist must one be to think the average voter is so stupid that they will believe anything a covert elitist tells them?

8. Title is mis-leading....and so what if Chelsea works for a Hedg Fund...doesn't mean
she has any influence in what it does or that she agrees with all their policies. What a stretch...
