(Newser) – No pressure, Chelsea, but Hillary Clinton wants to be a grandma more than she ever wanted to be leader of the free world. Or so says Bill Clinton in a lighter moment of an interview at Davos, reports Reuters. When asked what he'd like to achieve in the next 10 years, Clinton responded, “I’d like to live, I’d like to be a grandfather."

"I have nothing to do with that achievement, but I would like it,” laughs Clinton. “I would like to have a happy wife and she won’t be unless she’s a grandmother. It’s something she wants more than she wanted to be president.”

She spends her time dishing out billions to despots from Pakistan to Egypt when she isn't allowing 20 million illegal aliens from Mexico to enter the USA. She told the American people she wanted to be President, but what she really wants is a grandchild................pathetic.
