Chelsea Clinton Is Leaving NBC New$
2014-08-30
[PEOPLE] Princess Chelsea Clinton says she's stepping out of her correspondent job as she looks forward to taking on mom duties

After not quite three years as a special correspondent for NBC News -- and with just a little while until she and husband Marc Mezvinsky are expected to become parents -- the former first daughter is now leaving that position, she tells PEOPLE in a statement, "to continue focusing on my work at the Clinton Foundation and as Marc and I look forward to welcoming our first child."

Having specialized in feel-good stories of "remarkable people and organizations making a profound difference," Clinton, 34, says the highlights of her job included meeting people like Annette Dove, whose TOPPS program in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, "continues to fill the hunger, education and safety gaps for kids of all ages in her community."

#10  She's leaving NBC to manage the family business, the Clinton Foundation charity.

The principal charitable goal of the Foundation? To maintain the wealth, lifestyle and influence of the Clinton family. It's a tough job but she's up to it.

Her next move, already mooted, will be a run for Congress in a 'safe' district. That might not happen until 2016 when the Tea Party vote of this year will be swamped by the Dems supporting Elizabeth Warren her mother for Prez.

A Clinton always needs to be in office, running for office, or contemplating running for office. That's how the Foundation maintains its influence. Chelsea will run for something; alternatively she'll get some plum high job for the last year or two of Champ's term.

#9  Sorry Deac' no slack. She had a chance to break from the herd and go straight, but she chose to follow the spoor of her parents and wedded to a similar tribe of scoundrels. Our grannies will no doubt be dealing with the legacy of the Arkansonian Camelot as well. Apple falling not far from tree.... that sort of thing. Of course I could be wrong, been wrong many times, but why chance it.

#8  I'd cut her a bit of slack. She can't help who her parents are.

#7  Don't blame me, you all laughed when I tried to get together money enough to bribe her into tube-tying.

#4  No great loss to NBC since NBC was already lost long ago. Chelsea had one of those "made up" jobs such as Moochell had in Chicago--lots of money for doing nothing.

#2  Thank God there were no pictures! Just thinking of the twat the demon child made me throw up a little in the back of my throat.
Bedroom must be really, really dark or it's immaculate conception.

#1  .....Ripley discovers that she wears a germ of the beast in her body. It concerns a queen. She understands now why the MSM Alien that ravages the penitentiary did not attack her.

Yes, I saw the movie.
