I have finally returned from my brief sojourn. No, I did not go anywhere. Instead, I receded within the deep recesses of my mind and, probably experiencing a mild case of insanity, neglected my blog. Please do not accuse me of dereliction of my duty, although the time I spent away from my blog was, indeed, a mixture of laziness and moderate work. Anyway, I am back and ready to end this rather histrionic introduction.
Everyone is, at one time or another, confronted with an awkward situation. However, these situations are almost always accentuated in there severity when directed towards a political figurehead or his or her child. For Chelsea Clinton, this is simply a factor of her multi-faceted life.
Again, while campaigning in North Carolina, Clinton was confronted with another question concerning her father's prominent affair.
The student noted that "the scandal was the public's business since the affair occurred when her father was President of the United States.
Clinton responded, "It's none of your business...That is something that is personal to my family. I'm sure there are things that are personal to your family that you don't think are anyone else's business either."
Whatever the situation, familial bonds are often assaulted by political misdeeds.
Whether or not it is Michelle Obama or Chelsea Clinton, as the election of 2008 continues to evolve, even the most distant relative is not safe from the barrage of political arrows.
Let us hope that it does not turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory for either of the two.
Enjoy!
