You keep throwing terms out like "so what", why is that? I have not once in this thread complained about the process. There is generally enough fat in a system to allow for special treatment to the offspring of those involved. I have no doubt that her college thesis and interviews go superb and she is awarded the Doctorate. (snicker). Like i said, there is plenty of fat and many ways to hide people of influence.
Because I wonder, "so what". Really, So what? Explain yourself. You didn't complain about the process, but you complained about Chelsea as if she is any different from other children of famous people. And, you "snicker" at her attaining a doctorate. What's that about? Are you suggesting that she doesn't deserve it? I suspect that if you graduated from a large university, your children would be given special treatment when it came to admission and if you donated money, they would be given special treatment in other areas as well. I'm having a hard time understanding what you're getting at if not simply dissing the Clintons.

Well whether she deserves it will be determined down the line, we would need to see future published findings of hers and what her body of work in the field has to offer. That will be the true test. but even in the awarding of doctorates, politics raises it's ugly head. Again, i didn't start the thread to complain, just to point out the process before our eyes as her life story continues to unfold.

I'm kind of thinking that, in the "wealth redistribution world" desired by some politicians and "deep thinkers," the majority will live in a lower middle income world while those in power will live in an upper income world.... like what we have seen in most highly socialistic, communistic and autocratic lead countries. Look at what the politicians have acquired for themselves and their families in wages and benefits since our government was founded. But, I suppose that is what we deserve for electing so many attorneys as our representatives. Our elected officials who represent the people and who used to be considered public servants, have come to always look our for themselves first.

The Soviet Union had an elite caviar class of politicians too.

I am not sure politics has anything to do with it, she is the daughter in a wealthy family. You don't have to have a father in politics to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

The fact that she is very very smart doesn't hurt...

Who knows how smart she is? Influence buys good grades too.

I thought you right wingers celebrated success. Does that only apply to Republicans? Sound like the same old line about dems getting stuff for free.

Yes, she probably did get "stuff" for free.
