It's a subject Chelsea Clinton would clearly like to avoid, but the former first daughter again fielded a question on the Monica Lewinsky scandal Monday.
Campaigning at North Carolina State, a student brought up the touchy-subject, saying the scandal was the public's business since the incident 
occurred when her father was President of the United States.
The younger Clinton sharply disagreed she should discuss the matter.
"It's none of your business," she said. "That is something that is personal to my family. I'm sure there are things that are personal to your family that you don't think are anyone else's business either."
Normally, I'd agree with Chelsea about it's not the right of the public to know her father's sexual indiscretions. However, Bill admitted that the entire Monica problem distracted him from focusing on Osama Bin Laden in those crucial years, and so yes, I do think it's relevant to ask her about these types of things.
We have several pressing matters to attend to in this country and I want to know if my President can handle things falling apart in their personal life, but can remain focused on leading this nation.
If you can't, then you can't be President.
