Please, God, Stop Chelsea Clinton from Whatever She Is Doing
Unkind as it is to say, reading anything by Chelsea Clinton—tweets, interviews, books—is best compared to taking in spoonfuls of plain oatmeal that, periodically, conceal a toenail clipping. Take the introduction to It’s Your World (Get Informed! Get Inspired! Get Going!). It’s harmless, you think. “My mom wouldn’t let me have sugary cereal growing up (more on that later),” writes Chelsea, “so I improvised, adding far more honey than likely would have been in any honeyed cereals.” That’s the oatmeal—and then comes the toenail: I wrote a letter to President Reagan when I was five to voice my opposition to his visit to the Bitburg cemetery in Germany, because Nazis were buried there. I didn’t think an American president should honor a group of soldiers that included Nazis. President Reagan still went, but at least I had tried in my own small way.Ah, yes, that reminds me of when I was four and I wrote to Senator John Warner about grain tariffs, arguing that trade barriers unfairly decreased consumer choice. | Vanity Fair

Your Say
Just looked her book up on amazon, "It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired & Get Going!" and of the 80 reveiews 32% of them are 1. So took a look at the 1's and this is what amazon decided to say:
"Sorry, no reviews match your current selections."
There ya go. The graph shows 1/3 of the reviews are 1's but if you try to view them there are none. Amazon didn't even try to cover their bias otherwise they would have changed the graph too.
american communists are habitual liars but even with all of their experience they aren't very good at it. In everything they do they are 100% lazy.
My first purchase on amazon was in 1998 and the day is coming real soon where I kick their retarded ass to the curb. The reasons to NOT deal with amazon are outweighing the reasons TO deal with them.

"I wrote a letter to President Reagan when I was five..."
Aide. "You have a letter, Sir."
Pres. Reagan."Read it to me, please."
Aide: "Don't you dare go to Bitburg. NAZI's are buried there."
Pres. Reagan. "Who's it from?"
Aide. "Chelsea Clinton."
Pres. Reagan. "Hillary's excrescence? Write back and say, 'Fuck off, you buck-toothed, pie-faced, butt-ugly twerp."

Followed the link to the reviews and had no trouble bringing up the one-star reviews.

Her reason for leaving the Church at the age of 6 is the secret extra sump sump in that toenail enriched oatmeal. Earwax, maybe.

OK, I got to the 1 stars from a diff angle.
Usually I click on the 1 in the graph and that does it, but not now.

For the kind of stuff I buy on Amazon, I've always found the 2 and 3 star comments more informative (if there are any). The 1 star comments tend to be from people who can't or won't read instructions and can't figure out how to make things work. Of course, I guess that wouldn't apply to books. If I buy a book on Amazon I've already researched it elsewhere and don't even glance at the Amazon reviews.

Sorry but this spawn didn't write JackShit at 4 or 5. You're muttering BS Chelsea, just like you've been trained 24/7 to do but I call BS.

Well, I am impressed that little Chelsea not only had these profound insights at age 4, but was able to write about them so cogently while under sniper fire. Tough babe.
