I don't think we should begrudge Chelsea Clinton for the fact that her parents are powerful and influential, thereby paving the way for her as she prepares to enter the workforce. The fact of the matter is, that we are all, to some extent, a product of our upbringing and of our families' support. It is very rare that a person can truly be a "self made man" in the sense that they accomplished everything they did on their own. I know that if I had children, I would be donig my best to provide for them, and I don't think outsiders looking in should have a right to resent that. To that end, we should not begrudge Chelsea for the ease through which she is moving up in the world, but rather, we should let her live her life, and if we must, evaluate her life after she's had a chance to do something. What we can expect from her, is a higher level of responsbility that comes with her heightened status. Cue Spiderman theme. "With great power comes great responsibility."
