Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton, Clinton ∞ ?
In a presidential campaign filled with surprises, Chelsea Clinton has sprung one of the most intriguing. She has emerged from the shadow of her famous parents to carve out her own political identity as both a devoted and persuasive surrogate for her mother; and – just maybe – as a dynasty’s next best hope.....You would think that people would learn that "name recognition" is a poor qualification to be President after ol' George W., wouldn't ya?
Yet what if Hillary fails? Will that be the end of the Clinton family’s remarkable presidential run? Or is America about to discover that a younger, prettier but potentially just as formidable Clinton is ready to pick up the baton?
Humans are retarded.

Bad argument, Undie Lib. To assume that because GW is a flaming asshole douchebag and his dad a creepy Carlyle Group warprofiteering Oil Baron Fuck, automatically means that any other families with members that go into their family's business would authomatically be dynasty assholes of lesser talent, when really from day one of the history of man, families produce children that very often go into the family business, and it doesn't mean the doctor's son's doctoring profession is going to be a degraded business when compared to the dad's simply because they have the same name. In fact, the children taking on the parental professions often times advance the paradigm into ingenious new heights of awareness due to the constant exposure to the subtlties of the professional level of the profession, gleaned by generations of experience.
Jeeze. Come ON, Undie. Your vicious and unfounded (but merely propagandized into you) Clinton Hate is showing. Maybe the Hate-All- Things-Clinton trip you're into might also have a few splashes of Sexism in the toxic brew, too? The picture choice you used here sort of speaks to that unpleasant mental frailty in too many of the minds of our country's manhood. You're too smart to let yourself be sucked into that misogynistic parade to hell. It's utterly unbecoming. GROW THE HELL UP, Undie, or I'll just have to piss in YOUR wheaties.
I tend to agree with you UL as far as offspring of famous people seldom attaining the achievement level of their parents -- if that's the general point you're making?? First of all, there's a miniscule amount of people who actually achieve outstanding results in this world (which is not to say that the rest of us are worthless, or should just curl up and die.) To use the NBA basketball analogy, there's very few Michael Jordans/Kareem Jabbars/Larry Birds/Jerry Wests/etc. Secondly, most offspring of the rich & famous & talented are probably usually not as driven to succeed quite as obsessively because they come from a privileged/secure background, while their parents often did not. They just don't have the 'fire in the belly' as often as their famous achieving parent(s) did.
In general, it's a thing that statistics people call 'regression to the mean', essentially saying that things (in this case achievement levels of offspring) return to the middle of the normal curve. The offspring of a president will usually NOT grow up to achieve that level of accomplishment, and conversely the offspring of a Joseph Stalin/Adolph Hitler or other infamous tyrants will NOT grow up to achieve (thank goodness!) that level of infamy.
