Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!Is the state of the union of former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky, her husband of barely seven months, solid? "The couple are very happy," a family friend told Politics Daily, in response to questions raised in media reports about why the two are currently living nearly 1,900 miles apart. Clinton, 30, is in Manhattan pursuing her doctorate in public policy at New York University, while Mezvinsky, 34, who recently quit his financial sector job at G3 Capital, is spending a few months skiing and snowboarding in Jackson Hole, Wyo. The National Enquirer cited a "close" ...
For those who hoped, in vain, to see a Clinton-Obama reunion this summer at Chelsea Clinton's nuptials, all is not lost: On Thursday, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) announced that First Lady Michelle Obama will deliver the closing remarks at the organization's meeting this year on Sept. 23. Founded by former President Bill Clinton in 2005, CGI is a veritable who's who of kingmakers, power brokers and political pooh-bahs who convene yearly in New York City to tackle the world's most pressing issues. According to the CGI website, attendees "create a 'Commitment to Action' -- a detailed ...
First came the outdoor "I do" part of the Chelsea Clinton-Marc Mezvinsky wedding weekend at the opulent Astor Courts estate overlooking the Hudson River on Saturday, complete with the groom stomping a glass at the end of the interfaith ceremony. That was before sundown. Then came a pair of joyous celebrations just steps away: a seated dinner and dancing for some 400 guests inside a structural windowed tent lit by chandeliers, and an after-party that began around 2 a.m. and rocked on until 4:30 in the private mansion's glass-roofed tennis court. The festivities ended with a Sunday brunch of ...
(July 19) -- Here come the tears. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she and former President Bill Clinton are very happy for the end-of-the-month wedding of their only child, Chelsea, though she knows they'll be emotional at the happy occasion. "You should assume that if he makes it down the aisle in one piece, it's going to be a major accomplishment," the secretary of state said of the former president in an NBC interview. "He is going to be so emotional, as am I." Chelsea Clinton, 30, a graduate student at Columbia University, is marrying investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, 32, on ...
To the roaring, screeching Amtrak trains approaching Rhinecliff station from the north or south, add the occasional thwack-thwack-thwack of helicopter rotors. Do those choppers carry Secret Service agents trying to secure the entrance to Astor Courts, the Versailles-inspired private mansion above the Hudson River, where former first daughter Chelsea Clinton is set to marry investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, her great pal since their teenage days in Washington who became so very much more in recent years? Or have those whirlybirds been hired by TV crews and reporters seeking dramatic aerial ...
(July 16) -- If Chelsea Clinton is getting married in Rhinebeck, N.Y., in two weeks, few people in the Hudson River town seem to know much about it. So says The Wall Street Journal, which reports today that some residents think the daughter of the former president might be saying "I do" to Marc Mezvinsky somewhere else. Evan Agostini, AP Chelsea Clinton became engaged to longtime love Marc Mezvinsky last year. The mayor told the Journal he hasn't been contacted by the Clinton camp or its wedding planners for any July 31 event. The owner of the inn where guests were thought to be staying ...
(July 15) -- Given the 500-person guest list for Chelsea Clinton's impending nuptials to Marc Mezvinsky on July 31, it would suit her well to have her wedding at the Astor mansion in Rhinebeck, N.Y., as rumors predict. The century-old mansion, formally referred to as Astor Courts or Ferncliff Casino, is a quintessentially massive and grand product of the Gilded Age. As venues go, it would also draw a clear contrast with the backwoods bonanza that Bristol Palin has in mind for her wedding to Levi Johnston (who reportedly will be wearing camo) on some unidentified date this summer. Below, ...
I've seen Chelsea Clinton twice outside of the political arena. One afternoon, when she was no older than 10, my mom and I spotted her and Hillary at a downtown mall in Little Rock. Chelsea wanted to buy something, but Hillary said no, repeatedly and sternly. It was a telling moment between a mother and a little girl. Perhaps, Hillary was trying to teach Chelsea a lesson on saving money. Or that even kids who happen to be only children don't always get everything they want. A few weeks later, I happened upon Chelsea and Bill shopping in a department store. Bill was trying on suits, and ...
Marc Mezvinsky, 31, will marry Chelsea Clinton, 29, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the summer of 2010. In this wedding, certain to be one of the social events of the season, the bride is more famous than the groom. But he also comes from a political family, one that is also no stranger to wrongdoing and controversy -- and he, too, has a strong-willed and well-known mother. Mezvinsky also has a successful Wall Street career. He currently works at the hedge fund G3 Capital and previously was an investment banker at the behemoth ...
(Nov. 5) -- Anyone who's ever been 11 years old understands the sense of dread that strikes when your parent tells a story about you in public. Think what it's like when your dad is the president. During a speech on education Wednesday, President Obama went off-script for a few moments to reveal to the world that his older daughter Malia recently got a 73 on a science test. Embedded video from CNN Video He did it to make a point about how parents should set high standards and students should take responsibility for their education. Malia was "depressed" about her test score, her father ...
