Mocking Hillary: ‘NBC Created A Job For Chelsea’
| by johngalt |
Washington Post's Chuck Lane Mocks Hillary’s Anti-Business Comments...
" Last week, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at a campaign rally for Democrat Martha Coakley and told her liberal audience “don’t let anybody tell you it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”On Monday night, the entire panel on Fox News’ Special Report w/ Bret Baier eagerly mocked Ms. Clinton's comments with Chuck Lane of theWashington Post joking that he “thought NBC created a job for Chelsea so there is at least one corporation that has created a job.”Earlier in the segment, the Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley profoundly condemned Ms. Clinton’s comments:This was a clumsy attempt to critique supply side economics which this country is no danger of returning to under President Obama. What we need is a critique of Keynesian economics. That’s what we’ve been experiencing. Government spending as a stimulus. How is that going for us? The slowest recovery in a generation or two. That's what I would like it hear her defense of.After Riley pointed out that America needed to reevaluate Keynesian economics being pushed by Democrats like Hillary Clinton and President Obama, Chuck Lane piled on Ms. Clinton one final time:But, she has made quite a few gaffes now since this unofficial presidential campaign has gotten underway. And this one is going to have legs. Because you can put it into a little sound bite. You can turn it into an ad for the opposition and you can repeat it over and over and over again. And it's obviously not a sensible comment because she herself had to walk it back. "

Please, Hillary, Tell Us More About Job Creation
| by Lily Dane |
Oh, Hillary.
The reigning queen of lying, backpedaling, and political spin is
at it again. She really seems to have developed foot-in-mouth syndrome,
hasn’t she? Hey, she probably learned from the best – her husband, Bill
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman” Clinton.
Last Friday, Killary Hillary spoke at a campaign rally for Massachusetts Democratic gubernatorial candidate Martha Coakley.
In case you missed it (or just need to see it in print, because you can’t believe what you heard), here’s what she said:
“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs. You know that old theory, ‘trickle-down economics’. That has been tried, that has failed. It has failed rather spectacularly.”
Sounds kinda familiar, doesn’t it?
Oh, oops! Wait – Hillary wants us to know that she “shorthanded” that message about job creation. On Monday, she spoke at a campaign event for New York Rep. Sean Maloney (a former aide to President Bill Clinton). At that event, she backpedaled:
“Let me be absolutely clear about what I’ve been saying for a couple of decades: Our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in an America where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out — not when we hand out tax breaks for corporations that outsource jobs or stash their profits overseas.”
I think I get it now. Is this sort of like when, back in June, Hillary told us she was “dead broke” when
Slick Willie’s presidential reign ended? After public backlash over
that comment, Hillary appeared on Good Morning America and explained what she REALLY meant:
“Bill and I were obviously blessed. We worked hard for everything we got in our lives ... So for me it’s just a reality what we faced when he got out of the White House, it meant that we just had to keep working really hard.”
Oh, okay – right. Because being “dead broke” and being “blessed” are the same.
Hillary’s job creation gaffe and subsequent backpedal attempt did not go unnoticed.
Perhaps Hillary should pay attention to what intelligent people who actually understandjob creation and the economy say.
She can start with this quick discussion John Stossel had with former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson and the Ayn Rand
Even if, like me, you
think most politicians are bumbling buffoons who wouldn’t recognize the
truth if it strutted up and bit them on the behind, you have to admit
things like this are disturbing because people actually VOTE for these
knuckleheads (oops! I think that’sMichelle Obama’s favorite insult).
5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CHELSEA CLINTON
BY WFB STAFF

Daniel Halper’s Clinton, Inc. offers glimpse into rise of Chelsea

Chelsea Clinton is the best known public figure that everybody seems to know nothing about.
Chelsea Clinton is the best known public figure that everybody seems to know nothing about.
This is set to change as
Chelsea emerges into a much larger role at the helm of the Clinton
political machine, according to Daniel Halper’s newly released book Clinton, Inc.
Halper writes that Chelsea’s
determination to fully join the Clinton family business has wildly
changed the dynamic of ClintonWorld, and that this change may become an
“Achilles’ heel” for Hillary in 2016.
Here are five things you need to know about Chelsea from Halper’s new book:
1. Chelsea has been a wedge in ClintonWorld, breaking up long-lasting relationships
AP
When Chelsea and her husband
Marc Mezvinsky learned about the newly formed consulting firm Teneo,
which gave Fortune 400 companies access to the massive international
Clinton network, they wanted to be a part of it.
Teneo was bringing in a
fortune from companies such as Coca-Cola and Bank of America, and all
founder Doug Band was selling was his proximity to Clinton power and the
Clinton’s rolodex.
The only problem the company faced? Chelsea Clinton:
There was only one problem that might stop the money from rolling in. At their preliminary meeting with Clinton to get his go-ahead on Teneo, the group was joined by two other guests who had until then stayed largely out of the family business: Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky. They saw the promise of Teneo. They wanted in.Chelsea, with Marc and her dad by her side, asked Band and Kelly for an equity stake in the company. She also sought compensation.
This idea was rejected, and
Chelsea began to destroy her father’s relationship with Band, who Halper
describes as “the son Bill always wanted.”
There wasn’t room for both
Band and Chelsea to take advantage of the Clinton network, and
ultimately, the Clintons are loyal to their daughter above any body
else.
‘Basically Chelsea came in and took over. And Marc wants to start his own hedge fund and he wants to use the president’s contacts to build that up,’ says an associate of Band and the Clintons. There wasn’t room for both Band and a son-in-law. ‘Doug was using them to build up his business. And there’s only room for one person to do that. And Marc’s family, and Doug’s not.’After twenty years of service to Clinton, Doug Band was unceremoniously dumped from the payroll of the William J. Clinton Foundation, his reputation taking one hit after another. In the spring of 2013, the organization was renamed the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. And it was clear to all who was now firmly in charge.
Chelsea’s handlers now scold journalists for “even mentioning Doug Band’s name in Chelsea’s presence,” according to Halper.
2. Chelsea was trained at age 6 to be numb to “lies” about her parents

When Chelsea was just six
years old, Hillary and Bill forced her to listen to them act out mock
attacks on Bill over and over as she sobbed. This drill did not end
until she learned to listen to them without sobbing.
The exercise was in
preparation for people that “might even tell lies about her father in
order to win” during his 1986 campaign to be governor of Arkansas.
It is unclear whether these
training sessions properly prepared Chelsea for the accusations of
philandering and sexual assault that would be hurled at Bill during his
presidency, especially when she was forced by Hillary to listen to Bill
admit to her that many of the attacks were not lies.
“One of Hillary’s
punishments for Bill after he confessed his role in the Monica Lewinsky
scandal was to have him confess his sins directly to the daughter who
idolized him and had defended him,” writes Halper.
3. Chelsea began her business career making MBA degree salary, despite having no experience

NBC was criticized for Chelsea’s $600,000 “special correspondent” salary, but that is not the most absurd offer sheet that Chelsea has agreed to.
After deciding that various
career paths weren’t right for her, Chelsea settled at the age of 23 for
a $120,000 a year salary at premier consulting firm McKinsey &
Company.
She was their youngest hire
that year and made as much as consultants with MBA degrees, even though
her Stanford degree was in history.
In 2006 she moved on to the hedge fund of billionaire Clinton confidanteMarc Lasry. Lasry bundled nearly
a million for Obama and was nominated to be the ambassador to France,
but withdrew his name from consideration after his ties to an alleged Russian mobster emerged. He has contributed more than $460,000 to Democratic candidates and party organs since the 1990s.
Former associates of the
Clintons did not have good things to say about Chelsea. “It bothers the
s*** out of me that everyone thinks she’s the greatest thing since
sliced bread. She’s never had a job. She’s been in college for twelve
years,” one told Halper.
4. Not even Chelsea’s husband is allowed in the Clinton loop

In the fall of 2011, Bill,
Hillary, Chelsea, and Marc were in Little Rock for the dedication of the
Bill Clinton Presidential Park Bridge.
As all four were about to
step before the cameras, Chelsea told her husband that he had to wait
behind, telling him “you’re not a Clinton.”
Former associates of Chelsea
say she carries herself “with the sort of entitlement only a former
first child could” and is referred to behind her back as “the royal
child.”
5. The only adult outside of Chelsea’s family with her cell phone number was also an adulterer

The only adult outside Chelsea’s family that had her phone number was Reverend Jesse Jackson, who had his own extra-marital affair as he offered counseling to the family during the Lewinsky scandal.
Days after Chelsea was told
the truth by Bill, Jackson called Chelsea to tell her that “he knew she
was going through a terrible time” but “that it was important to stay
loyal to your family,” according to Halper.
Jackson’s affair resulted in an illegitimate child.
