« Update: Police chief says officers used 'great restraint' | Today | N. Kingstown school panel pays fine for meeting violation » February 29, 2008Chelsea Clinton stays on target at Roger WilliamsBRISTOL -- Although she sounded hoarse from campaigning, Chelsea Clinton stayed on target for an hour and 20 minutes this afternoon as she spoke on behalf of her mother, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, at Roger Williams University. The former First Daughter -- now 28 -- answered questions from an attentive and alert audience of about 325 students assembled in a former cafeteria at the school. They asked, and she answered, questions about Senator Clinton's positions on policies ranging from the war on drugs to the war in Iraq. Unlike her father, former President Bill Clinton, who stopped in Rhode Island yesterday, she had few laugh lines in her speech. But she also held back on attacks on her mother's chief rival, Sen. Barack Obama. Instead, her target of choice was President Bush, saying she was very disappointed in his administration. Dressed in dark blue jeans, shiny black shoes, with a tight blue jacket over a floral blouse, Chelsea Clinton looked casual yet tailored. It was an outfit that could take her several places in a day. She has already been in Vermont today. Her next stop -- the Venus de Milo restaurant in nearby Swansea, Mass., where she's expected to stand on the receiving line at The Providence Journal Newspaper Guild Follies. No, for those who may wonder, she is not expected to be the Mystery Guest at the annual satire on state and local politics. Instead, she has another stop to make tonight between 8 and 9 p.m., back in Providence, with a meeting of young professionals at the Paragon restaurant. -- With reports from Journal staff writer John Castellucci Posted by Andrea Panciera CommentsJohn Sullivan | February 29, 2008 7:50 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

Disappointed in the Bush Administration-undestandable. But pales in comparison of the disappointed with Clinton: the person(lied under oath, excessive pardons of felonys), the parent(enough written on this topic, but was Monica younger or older than Chelsea?), the professional(disbared in Arkansas).
