Chelsea Clinton (born February 27, 1980 in Little Rock, Arkansas) is the daughter of former President of the United States Bill Clinton and former First Lady Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In a series of pro-Clinton infomercials hosted by MTV entitled Choose or Loose,[1] her father promised young people that he would send Chelsea to a public high school in Washington D.C. and stressed the importance of elected officials leading by example to restore confidence in America's public schools. Upon election, the Clinton's choose to segregate Chelsea in the rich and white-dominated exclusive Sidwell Friends school in Washingiton.
Her life growing up in the White House was quiet in comparison to those of other presidential children, as the Clinton's imposed a ban on media reporting on Chelsea's life and activities so as to shield her from the resulting intrusion. Other than flunking her driver license test, Chelsea sparked little attention. In the later years of her father's presidency, as her mother sought election to the Senate, Chelsea assumed some of the hosting duties of the First Lady, filling in for Hillary while she was away. After her father's term in office, she went on to earn a master's degree in International Relations from Oxford.
In 2008, as a young woman, she began campaigning for her mother, who was seeking the nomination for Democratic presidential candidate in the 2008 election. After Hillary Clinton's loss to Barack Obama, the Clinton family threw their support behind the Illinois senator, and Chelsea introduced her mother as the keynote speaker at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. In December of that year, Hillary was nominated by Obama to be the next Secretary of State.
Like another veteran of the Clinton White House, George Stephanopoulos, Chelsea Clinton was hired by a lamestream media giant without any formal training or natural talent for news reporting and broadcasting.
