Have you not noticed that, esp up close, she has distinctive facial features that do not at all resemble her parents?
But this is small potatoes on the Clinton Plantation. Not really worth noting.
Google Webster Hubble Chelsea if u want to know.

Hillary is sounding more progressive than I was expecting. I guess Bernie accomplished the mission.
Wtf is this?
Wow!!
What a Freak show.
You must need to be Retarded /Stupid to believe a Word that Crap.
Or you're completely fooling yourself. Tax the banks? Who the fuck do you think is funding this charade?
Stop TPP? She thought it was the gold standard until just now.

Dude, calm down. You're going to hurt yourself.
Except he's exactly right.
The DNC is crawling with bank execs. The Clintons have a long history of revolving doors between govt positions and bankers. These are easily verified statements.
You guys need to stop foaming at the mouth. I made a simple statement that she gave a progressive speech. Anyone with a brain would agree to that.
Chelsea was adorable, and Clinton's speech was strong.

Unremarkable and predictable acceptance speech. She can hit all of the right notes, but there is no passion, no fire, nothing memorable. Her entire case is that she is predictable, steady, safe.
Preferable to Trump, hopefully one term of mediocrity

Well that would have been problematic if the audience had not.The audience obviously saw it differently. I hope America did too.
She gave a good sounding speech. The impression is a false one though.
Her first few sentences, she thanked Chelsea for bringing her husband Marc into their family.
Marc and two Goldman Sachs formed Eaglevalue Partners hedge fund. Within 2 years it went under with 90% lost value. This was when markets were rising.
Chelsea Clinton herself got a job with NBC News as a correspondent reporter with no experience, making 600k / yr starting. She now works for the Clinton foundation, a charity supposedly, and has a $10M apartment.
These people are fake.
Yet Clinton’s appointment did not mark the first time NBC Universal had hired children of high-ranking politicians. In 2009, it hired George W. Bush’s daughter Jenna Bush Hager to serve as a correspondent on the “Today” show. In 2011, it hired Sen. John McCain’s daughter Meghan McCain as a contributor on MSNBC.

So what's the P&N reaction when Hillary says we have to hold Wall Street accountable?
While the financial crisis came to a head in summer 2008, problems with housing started to bubble up in 2007 during Clintons ill-fated presidential primary campaign. On the trail, Clinton addressed these nascent issues -- particularly the mortgage crisis -- as early as March of that year.
Clinton, still a senator at the time, delivered a speech on the volatility of the subprime mortgage market on March 15, 2007. She said too many people were ignoring warning signs.
"The subprime problems are now creating massive issues on Wall Street," Clinton said. "It's a serious problem affecting our housing market and millions of hard-working families."
She gave specific proposals for addressing subprime mortgages, including expanding the role of the Federal Housing Administration, more borrowing options for underprivileged and first-time homebuyers, more safeguards against predatory lending practices and policies intended to prevent foreclosures.
In August that year, she delivered a similar speech about dealing with problems from subprime mortgages. There, she reiterated earlier proposals, and also suggested laws establishing national standards and registration for loan brokers, as well as regulations on lenders.
"I think the subprime market was sort of like the canary in the mine," she said. "You know, it was telling us loudly and clearly, There are problems here. "
It didnt become law, but Clinton sponsored a bill to implement these policies in September 2007.
The first time she mentioned derivatives was in a November 2007 speech in Iowa. (A derivative is a financial product that allows investors to hedge against price fluctuations in an underlying asset.)
"We need to start addressing the risks posed by derivatives and other complex financial products," she said. "You can't let Wall Street send the bill to your street with the bright ideas that just don't work out. Derivatives and products like them are posing real risks to families, as Wall Street writes down tens of billions of dollars in investments. Companies are taking the loss of a billion here and a billion there simply because the securities they own are worth less than they thought."
In the same speech, she spoke again of the risky lending that led to the subprime mortgage crisis, adding that she called on then-President George W. Bush to convene a conference to find a solution.
And she also pushed for more oversight of financial markets: "So as president, I will move to establish the 21st-century oversight we need in a 21st-century global marketplace. I will call for an immediate review of these new investment products and for plans to make them more transparent."
This November speech angered some of Clintons Wall Street donors, according to the New York Times.
The only concrete criticism was one that Elizabeth Warren made in 2004: that Clinton had changed her view on the bankruptcy bill after she accepted lots of Wall Street money to get elected to the Senate.
But that didn't really hold water. She opposed the bill in 1999 because she wanted alimony and child-support payments to take precedence over credit card companies during bankruptcy proceeding. The bill passed anyway, but Bill Clinton vetoed it. In 2001, she brokered a compromise that gave priority to alimony and child support, and then voted for the bill. It didn't pass at the time, and in 2005 her compromise was removed from the bill. She said then that she opposed it.
This is classic Hillary. Once George Bush was president, she had no way of stopping the billso she worked hard behind the scenes to get what she could in return for her vote. Love it or hate it, this is the kind of pragmatic politics she practices. But there's no hypocrisy here; no change of heart thanks to Wall Street money (she supported the bill when it protected women and children and opposed it when it didn't); and no real support for the financial industry.
