[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her husband made millions in the financial industry, on his own merits. He's not a freeloader.

When people leave banks etc, they often have to take "garden leave" first - they've signed noncompete agreements and can't work for a specific period of time. So he was doing that once and the press jumped on him unfairly for being a slacker.[/quote]

"On his own merits" now, that's hilarious! You don't think his success as a hedge fund manager had anything to do with his family's connections? Although, I can see why he would want to distance himself from his father, a criminal. [/quote]

Seriously criminals/their families do well at hedge funds -- you're not black listed. Also isn't/wasn't his mother a Senator or governor from Pa? He grew up a Washington insider, which means he can pretty much get into any hedge fund he wants; there are lots of them in NYC and most are indistinguishable and they do try to distinguish on the basis of famous people -- the fact that he's Chelsea's husband only helps him.

Apparently Bill doesn't like him -- in part bc he is all about money and nothing else but also kind of lazy (not just about the garden leave) -- and doesn't really speak to him and he feels like a third wheel in the Clinton family. I suspect that only grows now with a grandkid -- the Clintons have their daughter and grand-daughter to dote on and really don't need him.

Garden leave is fine but who goes without their newlywed bride!? He took off for months after they got married on a snowboarding trip while she was working in NYC. It's stuff like that that leaves a bad taste. I suspect he has more golf rounds and snowboarding trips in his future -- his inlaws will be involved with the kid and he may not want to be around all the time.[/quote]

This isn't the woman that Chelsea Clinton is supposed to be, marrying a lazy, selfish man. Wonder if her mom putting up with her dad's shenanigans affected her so that she married a guy who puts her through similar crap.[/quote]

I don't believe the whole -- girls marry their father -- thing. But I do think that parents set some kind of tone/example for expectations in a relationship. Hilary putting up with Bill's crap re Monica and apparently other transgressions before that has got to have given her the impression that guys will do what they want and the wife is considered "strong" if she accepts it. Honestly I think her last boyfriend Ian Klaus was a better match for her -- they dated for yrs and I believe he's also a Rhodes Scholar/Oxford PhD who is now with the State Department. Somehow that seems like a better fit for her than someone who is about money and nothing else.[/quote]
