Recently Chelsea Clinton was asked whether she thought that Hillary Clinton’s credibility was damaged by the Lewinsky affair. Chelsea replied that it was none of anyone’s business.
In my opinion the question was legitimate. At least if the question being asked was:
Do you think that Hillary Clinton showed weakness during Monica Lewinsky affair by staying with Bill Clinton and not responding to it in anyway?
I think this is a genuine question and ought to be asked. Although to me it is a non-issue (marital situation of the President have little bearing on their fiscal policy for example) for some it is a serious concern. For some the President is more than just managerial figure who is there to make the schools work and decrease unemployment. To some the president is a leader who must have integrity and strength of character in order to be able to demand people’s respect and more importantly trust.
Chelsea Clinton missed a golden opportunity to profit from a bad situation by talking about how Hillary Clinton showed strength sacrifice in order to keep the family together. After all Americans love ‘family values’.

Thus if Chelsea Clinton was out their campaigning for Hillary Clinton she should have been able to handle this question in a much more productive manner.
