As I drive through the city where Chelsea Clinton is speaking..

[iamthebandfanman]

I enjoy all the Obama yard sides that I pass by...

and ponder just what Chelsea really hopes to gain...

in what industry does Chelsea work in again ?

for a state that leans in favor of Hillary so much, I am amazed by the local obama support.

[ecstatic]

1. what city?

:shrug:

[MediaBabe]

31. Never did answer your question "What City?"

I'm guessing that it's no city just an imaginary pretend post.

[redqueen]

2. She works on Wall Street - hedge fund group, IIRC. (nt)

[iamthebandfanman]

3. oh?

you mean , the kind that works with energy and oil stocks?

[movonne]

4. What city???

[nomorewhopper]

6. nyc

hedge funds are almost exclusively located in nyc and connecticut (greenwich/fairfield county)

[LisaM]

5. Apparently some city where civility is out of style

I'm not speaking of the people with the yard signs. I'm speaking to the fact that while Chelsea is campaigning her heart out for her mother, it apparently makes someone feel good that she has to see signs for her mother's opponent.

[iamthebandfanman]

7. was only pointing out im suprised

how strong of a show of support obama has in this northern kentucky town.

take it as you will.

i was more taking joy in the fact that I WAS driving by the signs, not her.

i just wish this crap was over already and people werent getting suckered out of their money. people in my state need that money... you know.... TO EAT.

[road2000]

8. Which Northern Kentucky town?

I live here, and am curious. I've seen one Obama sign and no Hillary signs. Lots of local political signs, though.

[frylock]

9. the poor thing..

won't somebody please think of the chelsea?

[Leopolds Ghost]

10. Oh, The Humanity! Fortunately she can go crying back to her hedge fund on Wall Street.

:eyes:

[stillcool]

13. She should not be subjected...

to yard signs?

[alphafemale]

20. Chelsea's precious eyes saw Yard Signs of the opponents! Off with their heads!!!

I mean :wtf:

I don't even get your mentality.

How is anyone harmed by seeing yard signs of their opponents?

[Tesha]

32. It's standard political operating practice.

During the '92 campaign, GHWBush flew in to the airport
near our house and his motorcade route out of the airport
travelled directly past our house. Mr. Tesha made *DAMNED
SURE* that he was standing out there proudly right at
the roadside waving his Clinton sign as Bush rolled by.

(This was back in the days when the President could still
travel among the people without snipers covering his
every move.)

No quarter should be offered to Bush-like folks.

11. Another nasty and pathetic post from a "Hope and Untity" supporter

[stillcool]

14. "nasty and pathetic"

on what planet? How dare anyone mention Yard signs, and a lack of supporter for the "Divide and Conquer" candidate.

[Marrah_G]

16. Yes: Nasty, Pathetic, Uncalled for, and Decidely not something a Democrat would say.

[stillcool]

24. what is "Not something" a "Democrat"..

would say? "Yard Signs"?

[Marrah_G]

26. Yeah because the post was about yard signs

:eyes:

Not dealing with your ignorance anymore today.

[stillcool]

30. "Ignorance"

you are not nearly as superior as you think you are.

[cali]

18. Oh, please. Proportionately, there have been at least as many nasty

posts from Hillary supporters. The other day, one of them was comparing Obama to Hitler. Clinton supporters have repeatedly bashed Michelle Obama. Chelsea Clinton is a grown woman, and a campaign surrogate. She's not 12 years old. I've seen Clinton supporters criticize Obama's very young children. The OP is simply noting that there are lots of yard signs supporting Obama. That's hardly beyond the pale.

[shaniqua6392]

23. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It is all horrible behavior. I am not sure about your proportionality argument. I have remained an uncommitted voter at this point and do not have any allegiance to either candidate. I really do like them both. I am on DU daily and I can tell you that the Obama supporters horrible behavior far outweighs that of the Clinton supporters. I am sure you will disagree though. There are those who can not handle the truth and make changes that will be necessary to unite the party. It is much more entertaining to post criticisms of a candidates daughter.

[Marrah_G]

25. The post was not about yard signs Cali, you know that

I thought you of all people would not be cheerleading nasty little attacks of Chelsea Clinton for daring to support her mother.

I'm done with this before it crosses a line.

[shaniqua6392]

12. Obama fans make fun of Chelsea Clinton.

How utterly shocking!! Another fine example of change....hope....unity!! This stuff will really win people over to join the Obama team. :sarcasm:

[stillcool]

15. Poor Chelsea...

she puts herself in the limelight, and then people have the gall to mention the lack of support that follows her. Too bad her mother is the "Divide and Conquer" candidate.

[Marrah_G]

17. To bad you hate Clinton more then you like your own candidate

You don't help him with this and frankly I think he would be ashamed to know his supporters were posting rude and negative crap about the daughter of a Democratic candidate.

[stillcool]

27. What?

It has zero to do with any candidate I support...it's only about you, and your choice of words. I don't know if you represent and speak for Hillary Clinton, but I only speak for myself, and no where did I infer that I "hated" Hillary. Stop projecting your hatred on me. And if the daughter of a Democratic Candidate chooses to put herself in the middle of a Presidential Campaign she is bound to see "Yard Signs". Oh the outrage!!

[shaniqua6392]

22. She is campaigning for her Mother.

She has never done anything to deserve some of the ire from the Obama camp. She has received very impressive receptions at her stops, mostly college campuses. Her Mother has the support of half the Democratic Party, tallying up approximately 16 million votes. There does not seem to be a lack of support following Chelsea as you have stated. Twisting facts and being horrible to a young woman who is merely showing her love and support to her Mother is an acceptable practice here on DU though. Just another example of that "hope and unity" thing I keep hearing about, but have yet to see.

[stillcool]

29. Wow...here I thought ...

the this was about a candidates surrogate seeing 'yard signs'. I guess the "outrage" is just another example of the "Divide and Conquer" candidate I have come to know, and have seen way too much of.

[shaniqua6392]

33. The post was not really about lawn signs.

Come on....Let's just read this part again:

"and ponder just what Chelsea really hopes to gain...

in what industry does Chelsea work in again ?"

It was a dig at the daughter of one of our Democratic candidates. Would you feel the same if Obama's children were old enough to campaign and someone said similar things? Somehow I doubt that.

[Bake]

34. They loved it when Caroline Kennedy, a true daughter of privilege, endorsed BO

But Chelsea works for - gasp - a HEDGE FUND!!!!

Has Ted Kennedy given away his millions yet? I didn't think so.

Bake

[stillcool]

36. You don't think the Kennedy family..

was shit all over on here at DU when they endorsed? You all have some really short memories.

[Bake]

37. She was adored by the Obama crowd, reviled by the Clinton crowd

Pretty much what you'd expect. And now it's the Obamans hatin' on Chelsea, who previously had been pretty universally adored here on DU as a smart young lady who had her head on straight.

Bake

[ShortnFiery]

39. Caroline Kennedy, like most ADULTS grants the Press interviews. If Chelsea is too emotionally frail

to give the M$M and interview, then she best be prepared to be criticized for it. :shrug:

[EFerrari]

19. So now you want Obama supporters not to feel happy

when they see his signs?

:rofl:

[Marrah_G]

21. Pretty sure the poster wouldn't have said anything if that is what the OP was really about.

Come on, you are smarter then this. You know the OP was just a nasty jab at a candidates child.

[SoonerPride]

28. If she can't take the heat, get the fuck off the stage.

If she's just a daughter on the sidelines, then she's out of bounds.

If she's out there shilling for mommy, then she gets wht she gets.

[Bake]

35. If it's for YOUR candidate, it's "campaigning."

But if it's for the other candidate, it's "shilling."

Nice.

Unity, my big fat ass. I take it you wouldn't welcome an intelligent, well-spoken, attractive young person such as Chelsea campaigning for Obama in the fall. You must not need our votes, either.

Bake

[ShortnFiery]

38. Yes, don't we KNOW that she's still 12 years old and thus can't grant the M$M an interview?

Yes, Chelsea's still "a little girl" but more important, political royalty ... and must be nurtured and protected FROM us peasants. :eyes:
