but they kept us amused amid a
front-page New York Times report

Clinton Foundation to try and get rich
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
most embarrassing presidential family
members but his wisecracking and
excesses became an embarrassment to the
administration for this list we’re
looking at those relatives who made
presidents look bad with their wacky
antics or corrupt behavior he wrote on
Twitter quote Ron my brother was an
embarrassment to his father when he was
alive and today he’s become an
embarrassment to his mother however
we’re not including george w bush on
this list because we’re only including
people who never managed to secure the
highest office in the land I’ve seen Jeb
in action he’ll be a strong and steady
hand when confronted with the unexpected
number 10
Alice Roosevelt Longworth the oldest
daughter of Theodore Roosevelt Alice was
17 years old when she moved into the
White House and like her father she had
a rebellious side to her I have a sense
Stacey that that extraordinary
background that major themes for her
life a kind of apartness that she would
always feel she smoked gambled partied
and even kept a pet snake she also lived
a controversial lifestyle allegedly
having an affair with an Idaho senator
who was also believed to be the father
of her daughter Paulina known as
Princess Alice she was loved by the
press for her provocative wit and charm
however President Roosevelt saw her as a
handful she said even as an adult that
my father did not love me one-third as
much as he loved the other children and
she believed that when he was asked how
he could keep her in line he’s
supposedly responded quote I can be
President of the United States or I can
control Alice I cannot possibly do both
number nine
Elliott Roosevelt this son of Franklin
Roosevelt didn’t mind exploiting his
family’s name for personal gain he wrote
a slew of mystery novels starring his
mother Eleanor and a 1973 memoir which
discussed his father’s adult
Affairs during his service in World War
two he rose quickly to Brigadier General
prompting critics to accuse him of
receiving special treatment however of
greater concern was his involvement in
numerous scandals the question is are
you ambitious the threat I am ambitious
in my fields of endeavor
these included allegedly being part of a
deal in 1934 to sell planes to the
Soviet Union as well as a shady loan
arrangement and accusations of
corruption related to Elliott’s
broadcasting businesses number 8 John
Ellis
Jeb Bush 1 2 3
Gani yeah our grandmother unlike the
Bush twins or his drug-addicted daughter
Noelle I mean I don’t know what it’s
like to lose a daughter
Jeb never did anything to embarrass his
brother and father while they were
president however he managed to
disappoint the entire Bush family with
his failed presidential bid in 2016 but
Marco when you signed up for this this
was a six-year term and you should be
showing up to work I mean literally the
Senate what is it like a French workweek
you get like three days where you have
to show up while Jeb started out as the
front-runner for the Republican
nomination he quickly found his poll
numbers dwindling to the bottom when
Donald Trump got into the race people
think I don’t like China I love China
toward the end his campaign became
sadder and sadder proving that the bush
legacy was dead but the people of Iowa
and New Hampshire and South Carolina
have spoken and I really respect their
decision so tonight I am suspending my
campaign well he did his best
so please clap number seven on yong-go
Obama the president’s uncle who is in
the country illegally is arrested for
DUI and says I’m gonna call the White
House and nobody goes and tells the
president about this or discusses it
with him in any way
also known as Omar this half-uncle of
Barack Obama was arrested for drunk
driving in 2011 and he was detained by
authorities when they found out he was
living in the US illegally according to
the Herald mr. Obama met with
immigration enforcement as they begin
the process of having him sent back to
Kenya the White House claimed that the
President had never actually met his own
but then had to walk back the statement
when it was discovered that the two had
lived together while President Obama was
attending Harvard Law School Onyango
Obama’s sister Zee Tunis Onyango was
also a political liability when her
illegal immigrant status became public
shortly before the 2008 election because
President Obama’s Ann has been living in
public housing for years as an illegal
immigrant and at the same time she’s
been getting monthly disability checks
of nearly $700 number 6 Hugh and Tony
Rodham I think it tells us something
about Tony Rodham but it tells us
something even more important about the
Clinton Foundation a White House
official once said quote you never
wanted to hear their name come up in any
context other than playing golf these
two brothers-in-law – Bill Clinton
wanted to use their ties to the
President to cash in Hillary Clinton’s
younger brother has parlayed his
relationship with Bill and Hillary
Clinton throughout the years to come up
with some sometimes dubious business
deals for himself
Hugh and Tony tried to corner the
hazelnut market in the Republic of
Georgia a 118 million dollar deal that
involved working with the Georgian
president’s rival there has been an
ongoing focus on the brothers Rodham
right on Tony and he Rodham Hillary
Clinton’s brothers and there is a sense
of sort of an arrow do well or hanging
on or looking for help to prevent an
international incident Bill Clinton and
his national security adviser had to
convince the two brothers to drop the
deal in 2001 Hugh received $400,000 from
a client for whom he sought a pardon but
he had to return the money because of
the blowback number five Patti Davis
anything left unsaid or did you get
everything out did she get everything
out I think so but not in the way that I
think you’re asking this daughter of
Ronald Reagan not only disagreed with
her father’s conservative policies she
also accused her parents of being
emotionally distant from her it wasn’t
like oh suddenly everything’s just fine
and they’re pink and rosy it’s not that
there are never moments of pushing
buttons but still be she’s besides being
an outspoken activist in the
anti-nuclear movement she published a
novel in 1986 called homefront getting
in
raishin from her personal life patties
in 1992 tell-all autobiography the way I
see it
cast her family in a negative light and
went into detail about her mother’s
prescription drug abuse in 1994 she
appeared nude on the cover of Playboy
and again for more magazine in 2011
luckily Patty and her family eventually
settled their differences before Ronald
Reagan passed away in 2004 number 4 Neil
Bush bringing in more peace then your
brother bring him more peace son of
George HW Bush and brother of George W
Bush Neil was always getting into
trouble in one way or another he was a
member of the board of directors of the
Silverado savings and loan which
received a 1.3 billion dollar bailout
from taxpayers I was involved in a
federally insured Savings and Loan
assent belly up just like all of the
ones didn’t sin in Colorado for his
actions the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation sued Neal and his partners
for negligence from divorce proceedings
in 2003 it came to light that he had
slept with prostitutes from Thailand and
Hong Kong though he denied they were sex
workers because he didn’t give them
money whatever you say Neal easy access
number 3 Roger Clinton jr. have you have
you caused the Secret Service headaches
no not at all
I think they’ve been reading too many
papers the younger half-brother of Bill
Clinton Roger had a fitting Secret
Service code name during Bill’s time in
office headache really his code name is
headache Roger took advantage of his
brothers Fame and borrowed a bit of the
spotlight getting small parts in movies
throughout the 90s thanks girls and
trying to make a name for his band
politics in 2001 he received a pardon
from his brother for a 1985 cocaine
conviction after serving a year in
prison and got arrested one month later
for drunk driving he then tried to pay
it forward by advocating the pardon of a
drug-dealing friend from whom he
received money for services I couldn’t
control that I couldn’t control being
brother of the President
United States number 2 Billy Carter are
you actually in touch with your brother
I talked to him every week 10 days we go
from one troublesome little brother to
another with this sibling of Jimmy
Carter despite being well educated Billy
played up his own brand of hillbilly
shtick which included taking a leak on
an airport runway in the presence of
dignitaries and reporters we ever
jealous of him no one bit whatsoever I
always thought I had a bit of time after
his brother was elected Billy took
advantage of his newfound celebrity
by opening his own line of Billy beer
but it went bust within a year probably
a million years old dad I think it’s as
valuable as it’s gonna get
that’s what they said about this Billy
beer smarty pants we elected the wrong
car while his brother was president he
became a registered agent for the Libyan
government and was given a two hundred
and twenty thousand dollar loan which
resulted in a Senate investigation that
the press referred to as Billy gait have

love him how difficult it must be for
you to know that and yet how important

profile athlete titled Ted Kennedy on
the rocks and who can forget the drunk
driving incident at Chappaquiddick
Island where he drove off a bridge and
left a young woman to drown in his car
