devastated by it. she was she felt betrayed, she felt lied to, she felt that she had been defending him all this time and unknowingly she was lying. indeed i did have a relationship with miss lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. i don t know what got her through there, but being in the white house, subject to all that scrutiny hillary was desperate to escape washington, d.c. the morning after admitting the affair, bill clinton and his family left to go on vacation. the world was watching. you know, she was angry, she was upset. it s an iconic photograph with chelsea in the middle, and i
pay for it as a state there was large criticism. what she got done was arkansas adopted higher education standards. it meant higher expectations across the state just like they had for chelsea at home. they treated chelsea almost as an equal. she was in almost all the conversations they had. that s why i think she is so smart number one, and interested in h everything. i played softball in the hillcrest league and took ballet and piano. but no matter what she was into, both her parents were always cheering her on. i think my dad was the most embarrassing one, i would walk out on the field and my dad would be like yes, and i would be like dad i haven t done anything yet, stop. but my mom probably cheered at
ballet and piano. but no matter what chelsea was in to, both of her parents were always cheering her on. i think my dad was more the embarrassing one. i would like walk out on the field, and my dad was, yes! haven t done anything yet dad, stop. my mom would cheer with just as much enthusiasm but probably more appropriate intervals. rutherford spent many evenings with the first lady, cheering on their daughters from the softball stands. but in the summer of 1991, clinton had something else on her mind. we started talking about presidential politics. i was bemoaning the fact and saying, well, i don t think the democrats have a chance in 1992. there is absolutely no way. she looked over at me and said what the democrats need is the right message and the right messenger. october 3rd, 1991 on the
was the white house. it was also pretty ordinary. most of the time we had dinner together every night. it was one of the benefits of what my dad calls living above the store. we just made it more like a real home and her friends were always welcome, we had lots of kids in the white house all the time. amazing memories of being 12 and 13 and playing hide and seek. it was so much fun. my parents were always just like don t break anything but otherwise go forth and play hide and seek. well, this is the green room, and it s one of my favorites. if something did break or there was a mess, hillary made sure chelsea cleaned it up. the kids were watching a movie and hillary went down when it concluded and discovered there were popcorn all over the theater. and she said to them, you are not leaving here till you pick up every kernel of that popcorn. from the beginning the
control over that. i just get up every day, do what i believe is the right thing to do. i don t know anything else to do other than to be me. but do you ever see a version and say who is that person? all the time. i read things about me and i say, i wouldn t like her either. i mean, really, who is this person? it s so clear to me who my mother is. she s kind, hilarious, compassionate, warm, loving. she does have, i think, the best laugh. i wish more people could see that. and i wish more people in the kind of public advocacy side could recognize kind of her lifelong commitment to children and to families and that really has been the core thread of her life. the core of her life and the core of her mission. to break that final glass ceiling. please welcome chelsea clinton. that moment when your daughter was on stage and introduced you as her mother and the first female presidential nominee of a major party, what was that like for you? oh, my gosh. i was watching backstage
