Parenting writer Megan Fox believes it’s time for Chelsea Clinton to intervene and help her elderly Mother who is clearly suffering from various illnesses. Her mother collapsed on Sunday and no one insisted that she go to a hospital! Bill Clinton has said in an interview (later edited) that these episodes happen frequently! Megan Fox thinks the Clinton’s daughter needs to take action.
What the heck is wrong with her daughter, Chelsea, that she is not stepping in and telling her mom, the campaign, and the entire political world that her mother is sick and that she should not be put through all of this? Chelsea’s just a few years younger than me, with children of her own. While our financial and social positions are light years apart, Chelsea and I are in the same boat when it comes to having older parents with clear health problems and finding ourselves in that transition period where we start becoming caregivers to the people in our lives who once gave such good care to us.
It’s difficult when we have to take care of elderly parents and tell them things they don’t want to hear. Has that time come for Chelsea? Is it time she stood up and told her parents that her mother is ailing and should not be put through the strenuous campaign that is required for Presidential candidates? And the grueling job of President? It seems unlikely that Hillary’s health is going to allow her to do the job of President.
More from Megan Fox,
I get why all the political operatives aren’t saying anything and are blindly ignoring the ugly truth about Hillary’s collapsing health: it was her turn to be the nominee and the nominee she now is and their finances and futures depend on her staying in this race. I get why the media is working overtime to cover up events like this bizarre collapse of hers in New York: ideologically and emotionally most reporters are committed to dragging Hillary across the finish line however they can. I get why all the people who donated to her campaign need her to keep going: they expect a return on their investment, like the nights in the Lincoln Bedroom they had the first time the Clintons lived on Pennsylvania Avenue.
But I don’t get why Chelsea says nothing, watching her mom’s body give out on her in such a spectacularly degrading and demeaning way while cell phone cameras capture it all. That woman in the blue pantsuit losing her shoe in public is not just a presidential candidate or a gravy train for Chelsea: that is HER MOM.
Where is Chelsea’s compassion and love for her mom? Not her mother’s ambitions. Not her family’s quest to retake the White House they seem to feel belongs to them. Not her political party’s hunger for power. Where is Chelsea Clinton’s basic, primal, human need for her mom to be healthy, safe, and okay? Why isn’t she demanding her mom get the care she so obviously needs?
