I love Bill and Hillary but I'm real– it works both ways. Bill is a good guy that attracts people period but he has faults so when he screws up it's magnified like the good he does. Hillary is a strong-willed woman who I believe would have been President when Bill or the Elder Bush was President had she not have been married to him.

Their marriage was setup by God and the devil has done everything he could to destroy it and used "high-class" people, corporate sharks, neo-Cons and pretty women to derail them.

Name one politician or anyone you admire that could have stood the test of time with THEIR CHALLENGES better than them. If THEY are corrupt–then ask yourself what would YOU be like ?

Sorry "Trish" from wherever, his multiple affairs are not based on opinions, but facts.

He has admitted to MULTIPLE affairs.

Monica, Genny and Paula who he paid $850,000 are just a few.

That is the truth, eh.

She has a heart of gold,its her bussiness and if she stood by him,It made her stronger and the hardest of times and past,she stayed in the marriage, Chelsea is there love. and they both want a grandchild.if they worked it out it makes the marriage grow.

Colin724..She started a conversation 38 years ago and it's still going... can't you tell by watching them that it is just an act? What should she do, run off into the wild blue yonder. Then what. Don't be so stupid.

Like slime from a sewer, the Clinton haters are out in force.
Many divorces aer caused by BOREDOM. He works, drinks beer, watches football, GRUNTS and ignores her when she talks. She watches soaps, goes shopping, gossips. Neither has anything interesting to say.
Hillary said that she started a converstion with Bill 38 years ago and it continues. What he talks about to her is always interesting. He finds that what she tells him is always interesting.
She Knows that she is Number One in his life. He knows he is Number One in her life.
It is probably true that without Bill and his political contacts, Hillary would not have this oportunty to become president. It is also true that without her and her discipline, oganizational skils, he may not have bcome a Govenor and certainly not president.

Well ... I just have to say .....
To all those puking on their keyboards, after reading this...

And to all the Toms who can't understand why Hillary should get credit for staying with her man who had MULTIPLE Affairs...(All the Toms were there so they know that to be a fact)

And to all those who KNOW HILLARY IS GAY (who must have been on a date with her or how would they really know)

If your so Sick, Nauseated and So Busy Vomitting On Your Keyboards .... Why The Hey are You All Here????? You must need serious help. If somebody just(in print) made me that ill – I wouldn't be here.

This blog has 322 comments and 80% or more are anti Hillary....SO You All Tell Me WHOSE THE SICKEST PUPPIES Here????

Did you ever think that not everything you hear or read through the media is the TRUTH! And/Or nobody but nobody knows 100% about what is going on in another's life. The only person who knows the REAL TRUTH is the person living it.

I'm not a Hillary Supporter just for the record. But even when Craig was put in the media to be torn apart for weeks..I said the same thing. It's all a He Said, She said, or She said, She said, or He Said, He Said and all nothing but OPINIONS.

Do unto others as you have them do unto you I say....With the only exception being President Bush.

I was eating when I read this, but halfway through I started vomiting. Thanks for ruining my keyboard CNN

Oh pleeze, don't let me throw up, these two ,ole Hlll and Bubba, are the biggest frauds, that ever graced the political stage.
First of all everyone knows she is gay,
and Bill is a hound dog, he has better taste than Hill, he is sick and has a problem, come on, spare me the visuals.
If you fall for these two phonies, you are in denial, and pathetic

I also find it incredibly. . . amusing, no, hypocritical, no. . . . disgusting that women try to protect Bill Clinton.

This guy was accused of forcing himself on MANY women.

It is bad to cheat on your wife several times. It is bad to lie about it, and claim that the women are liars.

It is completely another to force yourself on women. That is called Sexual Assault or Rape.

How can you justify this mans actions? One woman above said that "Bill is very charismatic". So, he can rape and sexually assault women?

Or are the women asking for it?

If this guy was a republican you women would have burned him at the stake (literally).

When do your political views make up for your vile behavior? I guess in this instance, it does.

Hillary MADE Bill buy her a house before she would marry him. Now she crows about his gift giving...??

Ha Ha!

I wonder what the saw in Monica...other than his cigar

DMW in Kansas:

You're right. Hillary does deserve some credit. Let's acknowledge her here. I give her credit for the following accomplishments:

1. She voted for the war in Iraq.
2. She voted against limiting GWB's power to execute the war.
3. She refuses to apologize for her vote, instead saying "If I knew now what I didn't know then..."
4. Oops- Maybe she didn't know "then" because she didn't read the intelligence that was made available to her.
5. But she learned from it right? Oops again– She just voted for Lieberman-Kyl and now our president is talking about WW III, and we are counting the days until the U.S. invasion of Iran (or perhaps those much nicer "sterile" air strikes).

Give credit where credit is due. Good idea.

Funny how this story stays on top, but the more important and REAL story of her getting caught with yet again more illegal contributions got whisked away fast as Bill can unzip.......

Real simple question to the nice ladies that support Hillary:

Knowing that your husband cheated on you more than once, lied about it to the world and in front of the courts, do you all believe that she is a "strong woman" for staying with him?

Remember, this wasn't a one time dalliance, multiple times, multiple.

That is the part that many people don't get, how can someone that knows their spouse cheated (thus breaking their vows) more than once, be considered strong for staying with the lout.

Wouldn't leaving him and trying to find someone that won't cheat on you and love only you, make more sense?

Yes, a wife can forgive a one time indiscretion, but multiple?????

The mind just boggles with this one...

First of all, I think it's 'romantic' that my husband kisses me good night every night. I don't need him to buy my affection with gifts.

Second, my marriage is 'worth investing in' because my husband treats me with kindness and respect. I would not be married to someone who couldn't do that.

Third, who is this woman to tell women how best to support each other?

Women needed her to get her husband to stop treating women as objects and playthings. The only message she sent out to all of our daughters is that it is OK to abuse women if you're the President. Oh, and you send gifts later.

DMW-

When your spouse cheats once, do you forgive him or her? How about the second time? How about the third? The fourth? The fifth? How about after that, your spouse gets accused of rape? At what point in time do you simply look like either a) a pushover with no backbone or b) a power hungry opportunist riding the coat tails of your infidel husband.

Can you see why some people may question her motives? Don't act so holier than thou. Wrong time to do so!

I thought marriage is suppose to be so scared in America. Here is a woman who decided to stay with her husband after he cheated because she still loves him and believes marriage to one person for the rest of her life is a GOOD thing.

I do not understand all the hating about this from most of the comments. Is not forgiveness a virtue??? Or are most of you just hating Hillary no matter what she says or does???

I feel you all need to do a reality check. A lot of us do not feel when something goes wrong in a relationship, that that is the time to run; at least half of us feel that you stay and work on issues and resolve them if you can.

America is so schizophrenic and it is very confusing how you all think about what a relatiohship is; people do make mistakes...we are only human and learning always.

Give Hillary the credit she deserves.

I am constantly amazed at the bigotry of the so called "progressives". A number of responders here used this platform to take gratuitous swipes at Christians. The fractured logic seems to go like this: (1) in this progressive and morally relativistic age, any judgment as to personal behavior is out of bounds; (2) therefor anyone who finds Bill's profligate and abusive behavior distasteful and dangerous, and Hillary's response to Bill's long history of philandering coldly calculating, is a judgmental hypocrite; (3) judgmental hypocrite = Christian; ergo (4) anyone who has a negative view of the Clintons must be a Christian.

I have news for you anti-Christian bigots out there, yes Christians believe in moral absolutes. But Christians also recognize that all human beings, including Christians, fail to live up to those absolutes (the old fashioned term is "sin"). True Christianity also believes in grace, forgiveness and redemption. As a Christian, I am willing to give private citizens Bill and Hillary the benefit of the doubt as to the genuineness of his repentance and her motives for forgiving him. But when it comes to Senator Clinton's public role as a candidate for leader of the free world, Christian forgiveness does not mean that I must deliberately blind myself to this and other evidence that candidate Clinton cares more about getting and holding power than she does about the ideals she purports to espouse.

And I'm not willing to accept the false argument that recognizing human failing and believing in forgiveness means that we can never make societal judgments about behavior. Actually, it's the bigoted and hate-filled comments from the moral relativists which frighten me. Remember the lessons of history. It was Christians who were not afraid to call "slavery" evil and who led the abolition movement of the 19th century, when the "progressives" of the day accepted "white superiority" as the natural order. It was the "enlightened" atheistic and Social Darwinist philosophers of Europe, not Christians, who paved the way for the rise of fascism, totalitarianism and the Holocaust. I ask you, which philosophy is more dangerous?.

Whatever. You're so lame if you think we are supposed to believe this. No way she was ever leaving this power marriage. Romance=gifts.

While she is winning wide support in nationwide samples among Democrats in the race for their party’s presidential nomination, half of likely voters nationwide said they would never vote for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

The online survey of 9,718 likely voters nationwide showed that 50% said Clinton would never get their presidential vote. This is up from 46% who said they could never vote for Clinton in a Zogby International telephone survey conducted in early March. Older voters are most resistant to Clinton—59% of those age 65 and older said they would never vote for the New York senator, but she is much more acceptable to younger voters: 42% of those age 18-29 said they would never vote for Clinton for President.

Giuliani – NO
Clinton – NO

Let's see where the republicans and democrats go with their nominations. But neither of these two would allow America to move forward.

Clinton has a big lead in the polls nationally – but those poll numbers will change. The polls in Iowa reflect the real race when people are closely paying attention to the candidates. In Iowa she has a slight lead. That is likely what her national numbers will reflect in about two months.

HEY JON Pittsburgh-

You just called quite a few people on this thread gossipers and liars, and yet said nothing of substance. Are you denying that Bill has cheated on Hillary MANY times? Do Christians ignore facts?

Your comment was a waste fo space while attempting to defend hillary. The truth is, you cannot. She is actually a bad example to all women. If my sister chose to be with a man who continually cheated on her, I would forcibly remove her and her daughter from the situation.

And if you would not in the same situation, well. . . that isn't very christian like!!

To kris in St. Paul. ummm....that might be the best example of the pot calling the kettle black that I've ever seen....nice post. If people like you are supporting Hillary, the Republicans have nothing to worry about.

Where to start...STDs. Do you seriously believe that if Hillary had an STD the Republican spin machine would not have dates, times, and Rx numbers? That was a Rove specialty, (and if you can't find facts, throw something out there and see what sticks) and while he is not "officially" on staff any more, I doubt the power monger behind the Supreme Court election, and the Ohio voter fraud 4 years later is out of the picture this time around.
Does any one thin k this kind of scrutiny is fun? Hillary really believes that she can get this country out of the messes created by GWB and company. And stop ragging on her for her original vote for Iraq. Even Colin Powell, probably the only honest member of Bush's crew, was fed lies about WMBs and whatever else it would take to convince enough Congress people that we HAD to invade. Do you not see the same spin machine at work now on Iran? The difference this time is that everyone (except a segment of hawks who think bombs and troops are the answer to every problem) is a little smarter and a lot more aware of the $3 billion weekly being thrown away in Iraq. We cannot afford another boondoggle, so I fully expect Bush to want to press the old nuclear (nucular) button. Wait, is there a spelling test before you are allowed to end life on Earth. Can we have an executive order, please?

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.....you sly dog! You go girl!

The most amusing posts on here are the ones where the HillPraisers tell us not to form an opinion on the private lives of Hill & Bill, then turn around and wax so authoritatively on the shortcomings of candidates with much less publicly celebrated lives.

These are also the folks most likely to call others hypocrites.

Calling it like I see it!

Have a good Wednesday!

ROFLMAO! Really what can be said about Bill and Hillary that has not been said a thousand times over. They are who they are. Bill is always in search of sexual conquests, Hillary is always in search of power. And this puff piece is pretending that their marriage was anything other than a convenience should be considered unintentional satire.

“But I never doubted that it was a marriage worth investing in....."

Hmmm...INVESTING IN...

ROI: 2000: A Senate seat 2008: ...gosh I hope not!

I seriously might just yack. Hillary takes pandering and P.R. to a whole new level of unbelievability. Wow!

http://totaltransformation.wordpress.com

It took guts for Hillary to talk about the 'challenges' her marriage with Bill faced. The same kind of guts she'll show when she's in the White House cleaning-up Bush's global mess.

I think it's ridiculous that people are attacking her. Yes, she voted for the war... she has admitted that had she known then what she knows now, she would not have voted for it. Many of the congressmen who voted AGAINST the war did so because they would vote against ANY war. They don't believe in war at all, in ANY case... and now it's easy to say, "WELL, I didn't vote for THIS WAR!" Please...

I LIVE in NY. She is MY Senator. She has done a terrific job. She was re-elected for a reason.

The woman is EXTREMELY intelligent.. she is HIGHLY respected on the world stage. She may have a filandering husband.. but do we KNOW that he still is? Sure, he MIGHT be, but maybe not. WHO CARES?!? She didn't leave. Do you actually think these two aren't a good pair? How many marriages in the U.S. are full of fidelity AND sexual fire? MANY MANY marriages are kept alve simply for financial or social reasons.

The ridicule is ridiculous... and it's all because Americans are too LAZY to question all of the candidates' ABILITIES and RECORDS. The media gives us what we WANT. We want GOSSIP.

People who hate Hillary, do so because they are intimidated and envious. Even if you STRONGLY disagree with her political positions, there is still no reason to HATE her. Hate should be reserved for people who steal tax dollars to fund "wars" intended to further control the quickly fading oil industry.

And as for Americans wanting things for FREE?? Whoever the ignorant person was who commented on that. WE PAY TAXES. WE WANT HEALTH CARE. EVERY OTHER SUPER-POWER PROVIDES HEALTH CARE THROUGH TAXES.
People like you complain when the goverment has to raise taxes... you're the ones who want things for free. You can't LIVE here without paying for the things you take for granted (roads, police, infrastructure, parks, armed services, etc.). I am sorry, but HEALTH CARE is as, or more, important than ALL OF THOSE THINGS. Our country can absolutely afford GOOD socialized health care, as long as out tax dollars are used for THAT instead of funding the theft of elections, and wars for the elite.

Yeah, let's cut taxes.. sure, you do that... and you can go live in a canyon with no police, no roads, no water-works, no bridges, etc. etc.

Right.
Please. Grow UP, America! Read a book, run for office, do something other than complaining and sitting on your asses.

I love this country, but I am incredibly disillusioned by my people.

This is the funniest stuff I ever seen on the web... "I just barfed on my keyboard"- classic!

[this entire article makes me ill. SURE he brings you things. I"ll bet she spends alot of time in the VD clinic with everything he brings her home. she is a poor poor example to women in this country. God help us if she is elected president.]

You, and all other bashers, are sorry examples of humans. Who the hell do you people think you are? Are you all now experts? I think it is very low to slam anyone like some of you are doing to the Clintons. Bill got busy with Moinca wtf cares. Hillary stayed with her man..case closed. It is really easy to speak all bad when you can hide behind a pc screen a thousand miles away from the one you talk such vile about eh.

I am not sure who I will vote for right now. But I for one will not base my vote on what this lady does in her private life. I think they are a good example of what a real American family is about. Until you walk a mile in their shoes..judge yourself first.

I would regard Hillary's views on marriage much as I would those of OJ.

To Tricia from wherever, I think you've nailed it – "no one knows what Hillary is thinking". That is the problem with her.

"he's always bringing me back things from his trips. But fortunately penicillin can fix most of them"

didn't will-yams buy gifts at the black dog in cape cod for mon-I-ca
lewinsk?

did he leave the rodham carpetbagger off the list at that time?

aaaaahahahahahahahahahaha.

wills clinton either steals the stuff or gets someone to pay for it.

hillary iis a typical overweight and homely woman who craves attention.

will plays her like a snare drum.

she is about as dumb as they come.

I believe her. To those who say she stuck with Bill to advance her political career, you couldn't be more wrong. Bill is a liability and a huge detraction, for yes, his philandering among other things. She could do this all on her own, perhaps even better. Bill is in tow because they – at least she – still believes in their relationship. It's called love. Indeed. And sometimes it does transcend extramarital affairs and media scrutiny. Given all that, it's remarkable they are together. But it's also a winning conviction of her faith in family values. As she said in her memoirs, it's as simple as love. How many times must she repeat herself? She doesn't need to convince herself of anything.

As for me and my house I extend my hope and best wishes to them. Vipers are the first to put theirself on pedestals by tearing their neighbors down ,instead of giving them support. But of course arrogants and belegerants from selfesh, puffed up, stiff-nects will strike as a serpent does.

Everyone needs to shut up about the Clintons' marriage. One, it has no bearing on her career (no, it doesn't - she is a smart, accomplished woman in her own right). Two, Hillary Clinton was/is as much an asset to her husband and he was to her. A smart man like BC does not marry a woman who doesn't have her own two legs to stand on and who isn't going to be an equal partner. So, no, theirs is not a marriage of her political convenience. Three, none of us knows what goes on in their marriage.

I have known people who have met Bill Clinton and he apparently is like a chick magnet. It's unfortunate for his wife, but he is evidently very charming and easy to like.

What says Hillary Clinton didn't fall for the same charms that other women do. Just because Bill Clinton has the roving eye does not mean that he does not love his wife or that he isn't romantic with her. It just means he is a difficult husband.

All of you who thinks this capable woman is undeserving of her candidady just don't vote for her. That's all. Her husband barely campaigns for her nowadays and we'll soon find out who is right about her abilities.

Right on, Jon from Pittsburgh! Reading through this blog, I wanted to take a shower in the worst way. The vile, nasty comments from people who can't even use a first name (righty tighty, WMD to name two) smack of cowardice.

Maybe I'll be Vice President Love Monica Freaks

Well, like it or not, Bill Clinton was handsome!

First of all Tom wake up???? Cant you see its just a political move? CNN sucks along w/99% of the morons that support it

It's interesting that conservatives hold the sanctity of marriage above all else, and then attack a woman for not bailing on hers.

I think the reality is both what their greatest admirers believe – that the two both genuinely do care about each other – and also what their greatest critics bleieve – they have a strong political alliance.

Certainly the history of royalty and power is full of marriages, both arranged and chosen, for the purpose of political power or land acquisition.

ok, once again.... WHOCARES? Does this have ANYTHING to do with the '08 election? wait, i'll answer that for you – no, it does not.

I'm sure a very high number of American husbands bring something back for their wife when they go on trips. Besides, I'm sure Bill is still trying to get out of the dog house... maybe once Hillary wins (dear god I hope not), he'll be out.

Obama '08

Why take the republican infidels out, and put democratic infidels in.?

Oh and infidel comes from infidelity.

And I am not part of the "vast right wing conspiracy" now renamed the "republican attack machine".

It is amazing how the right wing goof balls shower Hillary with crap she does NOT deserve. I suppose you'd prefer the cross dressing incestuous pervert Guiliani as your flag bearer on the issue of morality or perhaps the pedophiles and perverts this administration has spawned. I suggest changing the GOP (Grand Old Party) to the Gang Of Perverts. So Shut Up already you bunch of over the edge, right wing WING NUTS.

I ignore the comments of the folk that wouldn't vote for Hillary if she were Mother Theresa..they are Republicans and thats just the way it is...I'm a Democrat and I can't imagine what any Republican can say that would make me vote Republican,,,but that is based on the Republican agenda not so much on the individual candidates...I'm sure some of those guys are alright people that I could sit down and be friends with. I just implore the Democrats that are on here to see the big picture...which is to have a Democratic president in office come 2008. Right or wrong I am voting for Hillary because i think she is our best shot. Does that mean I don't like Obama ...no...he seems like a intelligent, honest, engaging candidate...I just don't think he can win the general election. You have all the talk about wanting a fresh, new face in the white house..and I tell you the Republicans will have a field day on his experience issue, especially with the mess Bush is going to leave in Iraq and they're uncanny ability to play on people fears. So all I am saying is you might see Obama get in as the Democratic candidate( I don't put much on polls) and if thats all you want go for it, but if you want a Dem pres in the white house the best candidate of the two to get that accomplished is Hillary Clinton.

Brought her back gifts??? Guilt, no doubt...

Romantic? Those two? Ewwww....

How is this newsworthy? With so many other issues going on in the World and in the U.S.

Shame on you CNN.

Posted By Billy, Streamwood, IL : October 23, 2007 5:26 pm

I notice you totally did not respond to my factual statement about Mitt Romney being married to one woman for over 35 years with NO cheating.

You either lied or are uninformed.

I guess you haven't been paying attention to these blogs as Hillary and Obama (who I like) and others have been out there talking about, gasp, family values.

Democrats have been talking about it for years, not beating it into the ground like Republicans, but they DO talk about "values" in front of "certain" crowds.

Nothing uptight about me, I am a realist, I can see FORGIVING someone for a single affair, twice is unfathomable, three and four is laughable and one would only have to take the blinders off to see why she stayed with him, she would not even be a Senator, let alone a presidential contender without his GREATNESS as a politician.

See, in my little world I can give props when deserved, but if you think I would ever consider giving these two anything resembling props as human beings, not happening.

If Hillary was a man she would be looked at as a strong and intelligent person. The kind of person that should be president. But those characteristics people don't like to see in women. Conservatives especially don't like to see a strong woman become leader of the country.

Also Hillary forgiving Bill makes me see her as an even greater person. It would take a lot to forgive a person who did that. This is the kind of thing Christians teach to do – forgive.

This forum looks like a venue for the Hillary bashers. Most of these Fxx Axx Hxxxx probably suck on Bill O'Reilly and Shawn Hannitty from Fox News.

Bill has had one affair after another and publicly dragged his marriage with Hillary through the mud. She's either a person of very little self respect and confidence or.... sticking with him because of what she can gain from him politically.

Has to be the later since she can't do it on her own. This woman is nothing without Bill.

anyone will tell you that body language you see there is more palsy-welsy than romantic love. they can barely stand to touch one another; and the look on their faces is one of embarrassment. . .

Romance?

who wants to go to bed with that?

I think I just threw up in my mouth!

Bill is an enormous help for Hilary's campaign for good and bad

Hillary you and Bill keep up the good works that you are doing, Hope to see Mrs. President in near future. LOVE to you guys.

When did CNN start running articles from The Onion?

New surveys by Rasmussen in Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois suggest things are not as rosy for Clinton as they should be, especially in Illinois. Check out the polls here.

If he is so romantic- Why are trips not taken together? This is nothing more than a business relationship. Even a star-gazed teenager would see through this scam.

Beware of adulterous sleazes baring gifts..

no comment

MY 1st COMMENT WAS PULLED SO I'LL SAY IT AGAIN!
THIS COUNTRY IS SCREWED IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE AND FORM IF SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT!
GOD HELP US!

To RD Carter in Canada. We are not "P.O'd" because Bill "got a little action" in the White House. We are "P.O'd" because Bill got away with perjury. Apparently it wasn't only Americans that bought the "bait and switch" tactic used by Bill during that period.

Posted By Mike, Houston, TX : October 23, 2007 3:27 pm

Actually you are P.O.ed that the Clinton Administration had the best prosperity and lowered the deficit better than any other Republican Administration.

The Republican Party has been the "No-Tax and Spend Like No Tomorrow Party". The Republican party has raised "Check Kiting" to an artform.

After the Republicans get through running things, like an Adult cleaning up after a messy child, the Democrats have to clean up the mess the Republicans left in the world.

And for the Republican Religious Right I hate to tell you this but Jesus would never have been a Republican as he was a Uniter and not a Divider. Jesus would have been a Liberal.

To all the judgemental americans out there in cyberspace: To paraphrase a quote from the good book that you all probabley outwardly tell the world you are living by JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED BY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN

Quick give me a puke bucket. This woman is a first rate liar and is as despicable as her slick Willy is. Give me a break!

Hmm my comment was deleted.. Thanks CNN. Lets try it again.
Pertaining to the pic above.
Bill: You are going to owe me for this!

Hillary: Ha ha, once I am elected you can have all the interns you want.

Linda of Portland:

I never said anything about a person's marriage history and that person's ability to be an effective president. But thanks for telling me about "my standard", even though you base that on nothing I wrote.

Also, nice rebuttal: "You know nothing outside of Fox and Rush." Oooh! Snap! If that's the case, Linda, what am I doing on a CNN message board? My eyes are wide open, thank you very much.

I just said if Bill would have done something when he was president, MAYBE we would not be in Iraq. I'm in no way blaming Clinton for Bush taking us in. That was Bush's choice. I'm just saying that things would likely have been different.

But Bill WAS obsessed about his poll numbers and legacy- after all, going to war tends to make poll numbers dip as time goes on, right? Fact is, we got attacked...and attacked...and attacked by terrorists on Bill's watch. Plus we split when things got tough against them (Somalia, '93). They looked at the US's record of doing absolutely nothing and mustered up the nerve to pull off 9/11. bin Laden said as much when he called the US a "paper tiger" when he copped to being behind it. Of course, as bin Laden had been behind so many terrorist acts during Bill's tenure, we new immediately who was behind 9/11. That says something, doesn't it?

Point is- when you get hit, hit back. Schoolyard bullies are encouraged when it's easy for them. Why would it be different for a bunch of screwballs who are willing to lose their lives to take some of us out?

Ahh! How very sweet! That is to the idiots who will be buying the crock of BS of warm fuzzies Hillary wants to con for their vote.

Wake up people. All Hillary wants is your vote to SCREW YOU in the end to make her look good.

wait a second . . . wait just a second . . . . i don't even get into politics until it is so blindingly obvious to someone that doesn't get into politics how politically wrong this is. so really, between the affair and now, when was the other ONE time, just one time, that there was affection between them of this nature? silly, AND insulting of her subject, that she would think they aren't smart enough to see through it. silly girl.

Thanks for the transparent entertainment article, CNN. No doubt, you guys are on the Hillary bandwagon since you can't seem to see how baited you are. Give us some real news and help us elect a deserving president with values enough to have not voted to invade Iraq in the first place.

The sight of it wants to make me throw up....if this isn't staged...NOTHING IS.....how stupid do they think people are?????????????

Hillary, He brings back gifts because he is feeling guilty about his behavior. Are you that naïve? You need to look at the track record and the two of you need to leave the American public alone. Go back to Arkansas. Best Regards

Hillary is calculating ? What an absolutly novel idea!! Imagine, thinking before you act? Now that's something that no one could accuse "W" of doing.

I have never understood why so many people engage in personal attacks, one to another, when commenting on a story in the Ticker.

This is America, and though I disagree with many of the responses to this story on President and Senator Clinton. I don't begrudge the writers for having a different opinion than mine. That is one of the many things that make this country the best on earth.

We still couldn't call President Putin in Russia a fascist dictator, without endangering ourselves or our families.

But here, we can call President Bush a complete idiot, and President Clinton one of the best presidents in the modern era and feel relatively sure about seeing tomorrow.

But I do wonder sometimes, why would supposedly Christian Republicans wish the Clinton's had divorced?

As a Christian I am glad they worked through their problems and stayed together.

I hope that Republicans and Democrats can.

"Does she REALLY want to act like she's the purveyor of family values?
Posted By Matt R, FL : October 23, 2007 1:19 pm"

You've got to be kidding?! Why does Matt R think any politician needs to be a "purveyor of family values"? Hasn't he learned that any politician who claims be a pillar of family values is a hypocrite? From Newt Gingrich asking his wife for a divorce while she is in the hospital recovering from a cancer operation to Jesse Jackson getting his mistress pregnant, both sides of the fence are guilty of pretending to be on some kind of moral high horse. When will voters learn that this very subject should be a non-issue anyway? I'd much rather have a philandering president who keeps us out of bogus wars than an idiot who keeps his fly up and sends young people to die for WMD that don't exist!

I am happy she is opening up a little bit on her decision and her feelings on Pres. Clinton after the affair.

What a joke. Everybody knows that he can't stand her, and she can't stand him. Just two power brokers that are 'drunk' on 'self' so badly that they will 'say' and 'do' anything to keep the wave rolling. Watch out when it all washes ashore, flattens out and disappears into nothingness. Fool the people once, shame on the liars. Fool the people twice, shame on the people. The people won't be fooled this time. What a disgraceful disrespect of the common sense of America.

If America had a King and Queen, William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary R Clinton would be our royalty. Bill and Hillary are the most loved and most reviled couple in the country.
Bill at his worst is 100 times better than Bush and Hillary, well, she is nonpariel. These two are an American treasure, much to the dismay of republicans.

Your kidding right????I read your post on here all the time and wonder what Funny farm let you out. Your about as clueless as the rest of the lost liberals out there. Dude get some meds cause you need to come back to reality. The Clintons are the most corrupt politicians ever to walk this planet and hillary will never win an election cause everybody knows it.

Anything to get the votes Hillary, any lie to get the votes. You're staying with a rapist and women abuser..the worst kind of liar of a man because you're just like him. You lied about so many things when you were in office plus you knew about his abuse/affairs with women (probably so he would not touch you) and you kept it a secret so he would look good to the ignorant masses who voted for him. You continue to lie but one day when you die you'll be facing your Maker and your lies will not work with Him. I feel for you..I would not want to be in your shoes when that day comes.

Please.....this is the fakest to two people on the earth,,,GW and his wife really love each other and you can tell, with hillary you can tell it is purely theater and the only reason she did not leave Bill was to further her political ambitions..Hillary your not fooling anybody....Sad sad SOULS

Hey, CNN, with this kind of junk offered up, you might go back to being called "Chicken Noodle News". Good grief, like anyone cares.

How 'bout some substance??

I hate it when people judge her decision to stay with Bill. Every marriage has challenges and you really have to be able to take a joke to stay in a long term marriage. I should know.

This is so funny. The only reason Hillary stayed with Bill is because she wanted to further her career. As a woman, I do not respect her AT ALL for her decision to stay with him after his MANY public affairs. And the only reason he brings her gifts is probably because he's guilty of having affairs in those other countries. Their marriage was a business transaction. Face it all you Bill and Hill fans, he's a cheat and she's a liar. And we want them to run our country yet again...hmmm...

I don't like her, her "husband" or her politics, so I won't be voting her.

Amazing!! I teach morality. The definition is: "our decision making ability as it affects ourselves and others."
Let's see here.....Clinton......Bush.......you decide whose "morals" have affected how many? negatively? (immoral) or positively? (moral)......
The relationship between Bill and Hilary has been microanalyzed in public for how long now? How many of us would survive?
Please.......are we better off today? Are you ready to send your children to war for one man's delusional idea?
Are you happy about millions a day being spent in this
culture od death?
I miss Bill, I miss peace, I miss prosperity....guess I'm just a fool.....

If she'd divorced him, her antagonists would be calling her "anti-family", a "failed wife", and talking about the damage to Chelsea.

Since she stayed with him, they can only talk about how certain they are that she only did it for political gain.

It is likely that all the above considerations and several other factors were considered—could they reconcile and be happy, what about lingering trust issues, what did family and friends advise, etc.

Bottom line, nobody knows how much each consideration weighed in her decision, and those who claim otherwise sound foolish.

Makes me want to vomit.

Hillbilly are hicks. Do you ever hear classy people discuss their romance? Leave it in, CNN.

In reply to Rex:

1. Canadians I talk to are extremely reflective and aware. We think it is absued that people are basing a rosy nostalgia on voting for Hillary Clinton, that an election takes so long, that it costs so much money and that a president is able to stay in power with such a low standing. In Canada, he would have been removed by a simple nonconfidence vote.

2. We are also amazed at the power that nonelected officials have in your cabinet, that a president has so much power in a democracy, able to veto any law passed and that your government is constantly riddled with corruption. Makes are sponsorship scandle seem like peanuts. No wonder you would't trust your gov't to run a health care system.

Although not a Harper fan, we have a dollar stronger than yours, are one of the few westernized countries to be buying down our debt rather than increasing it, and have policies that recognize the rights of citizens to make life choices without the interference of government.

Sadly the comments on this blog indicate that another Bushlike, America knows best type of leader will be elected and the world will be worse off.

I think that everybody should just mind his or her own business. How would you like if somebody questioned the legitimacy of your marriage all of every form of public media? Get a grip and focus on the real issues of this next election.

After reading that nonsense I think I'm going to be sick. Hillary's an expert liar. Maybe she should take up poker and save us the pain of what she'll do to our country.

Come on folks - lighten up on poor Hillary - Hey, Who was that good looking Blond aide she had when she was first lady? You'd see her with Hillary every time ? Maybe her payback for the guy who wagged his finger in our face and .......Lied!

Aw, did I hit a nerve there Tommy of Dedham MA? Guess you're one of them up-tight New Englanders. Actually you seem much more uptight than the ones I've known.

You are wrong, one party has been claiming moral superiority over the other.

Had you been paying attention anytime during the last decade, the GOP has been hawking itself as the party of values and family values. Their campaign literature from presidential candidates all the way down to local officials just reeks of it.

So, enjoy your little world. I am certain that your reality is much more entertaining ... to you.

It's a shame and a disgrace that she is asked to respond to these inquiries. I would like to see a male candidate be questioned on his wife's internationally publicized infidelity and outright embarrassing juvinile behavior...all for the the benefit of a salaciously lustful public.

Wow, now the right wing nut jobs who post on this site are suddenly psychologists as well as expert marriage analysts/counselors. It is amazing how talented you all are. Yesterday, you were environment experts (global warming is a myth), the day before that you were military experts (the war in Iraq is out of necessity and we are winning), the day before that you were fiscally responsible (too much spending on domestic issues), the day before that you were ethical advertising experts (Moveon.org - but Swift Boat is perfectly acceptable), tomorrow you will be education experts (No Child Left Behind works) and today you are marriage experts who know intimate details about another's relationship. Wow!!!!

You all need to look in the mirror before you even think of insulting others.

Oh, and for the right wingers out there who were not born with a trust fund, "when the rich wage war, it is the poor who die."

"Let me get this straight. You folks are PO'd with Hillary because you're still PO'd Bill got a little action at the office. Yet, you're OK with your current President who has sent 3800 of your finest sons and daughters to their death in the armpit of the world for no good reason. I will never understand you Yanks…."
R.D. Carter, Edmonton, Canada

I agree Carter. And what amazes me the most are the bloggers here that know what Hillary thought in the past, Know what's she thinking now and can predict what she'll think and do in the future! WOWWWW Fortune Tellers Supreme and I thought you found those gigsters at the Fairs!

FACT FINDER: Nobody knows why Hillary decided to stay with Bill ONLY HILLARY.
And Nobody knows the real trugh about Bill's extracurriculur activities only Bill. And he was not the first man, US President or politician to fool around, nor will he be the last! So why all the Hype about Bill and Hill?
Even Eisenhower had a mistress! And shall I out more US Presidents?

I commend her for keeping her marriage together. I'm sure being a public figure and daily fodder for all the Gossip Columns and Rag Magazines it wasn't an easy decision or road to hoe. And it was HER decision to make.

Ok, now Hillary's just making me think of when Lisa Marie was with Michael. Ugh.

Hey if she wants to stay with the man she married and worked through it,and she did ,thats her bussiness.I do believe that Bill n Hillary will be best for the country.Hillary is smart with solid proposals,more than any other canidate,i just think we will be better off with Bill in there to.whatever hes ask to do, he said he would help her.I think thats good ,its convinced me to vote for her.There both brilliant people.I cant save a dime since bush has been in there,with the clintons I lived well and could save.Happy Birthday Hillary!!! in 08

That's bloody great! It's good to see. Hope it's real. Some people stay together until their children go off to college.

Love to read these utterly objective and so clearly thought out comments by CNN readers who, themselves, obviously lead painstakingly chaste lives of righteousness, purity, and charity. Who could know more about the personal motivations and affections of Bill and Hillary than these seekers of truth and justice?

The sheer nastiness of their responses to this story reminds me of another time, when righteous figures like Ken Starr and his sanctimonious posse of rightwing misfits managed to ride high in the news for years, stirring the passions of morally correct Americans such as these present day commentators. And it causes me to wonder just how much better the world might be if these self-righteous ninnies ever managed to actually gain the sort of unchallenged control in America they seem to think they deserve.

Oh, wait! Some of their ilk have actually tried that in other parts of the world, in darker historical moments. All these folks need to pull it off again, and to galvanize their movement of moral righteousness, would probably be one strong, socially unblemished, moral leader to gather round.

Certainly, there are plenty of such noble, honest and selfless champions among them who could rise to the occasion and lead Americans and the world to better times of grace and integrity. Their ranks must be brimming with clean cut, morally pure and affable, potential leaders like themselves. After all, the daily news is filled with stories about them and how their evangelical zeal so often leads them into glorious encounters with our State and Federal legal systems. Some are preachers, some are elected officials, and some are even administrators of institutions of 'higher' education. Some ride the Nation's highways in well-deserved luxury cars. Others jet along the Nation's airways, stopping only on occasion to police an airport's restrooms and guarding others from the humiliation of unwittingly roaming the concourses, while dragging toilet paper streamers stuck to the soles of their shoes. And still others determinedly guard our national honor, as they roar down the rivers of historical correctness in Swift Boats, heroically contrived to seek the 'Truth'.

Yeah. It's plain to see that we'd all be a heck of a lot better off with those guys in charge.

I believe Mrs. Clinton was also quoted as saying: "He's so romantic. You should see what he can to with a bottle of scotch and a cuban cigar! Here's the dress I wore last night to prove it."

I'm not really sure what she meant.

Leave Hillary Alone. She loves her husband. And for most of you, it's obvious you don't know what love is.
It is too bad that Hillary and Clinton have to live such public lives. They could give a rats butt about what you all have to say either negatively or positively. Hillarys political career is GREAT. Don't hate on their relationship. It is just that THEIR relationship. Bill loves his wife, and for some of you love actually goes BEYOND a physical attraction to another person. So for Hillary, she is great, and will lead this country back to America as it should be.

Of course Bill is romantic. How else could he have seduced so many women in his affairs?

Like, gag me with a spoon!

some respondents in CNN has serious problem of hating people, especially Hillary and Bill.
This is a country where 60% marriages fails and 80% husband cheats in life time. No woman can luck her man's organ.
Our main focus is how the future presient is going to handle the health, education, security, job, etc issue. some time we Amcericans are lost is very small issue.
I really thing some people has personality wants to see half glass, or hopeless so likes to hate other humabn being.
You might thing your are doing great job by hating Hillary but you should know that more the you hate her without sense more people think you are DUMB ASS! IF YOU WANT TO BE DUMB ASS BE IT!!!
4HILLARY!!!!

At least she does not arrange to have him call her on her cell phone in the middle of a televised speech so she can coo sweet nothings to him in front of the cameras as Guliani has done twice now. She has one marriage, Guliani three, and while her hubby may have poked Monica, The Decider is screwing the country like a drunken sailor with limitless cash.

Purly political expediecnce. She would do anything to get into the WH. I mean anything!
Obabma 08
Let's see if you post this now CNN. It is a little nicer than my last message!

DNC MCaullife and Sen. Clinton should remember Belinda Jackson...She is corrupt and the Dems will be embarrassed if she recieve the nominee..http://mikejones3000.tripod.com –remember corruption is what Mcaulliffe and Sen. Clinton are hiding check out the link...USDOJ/OIG corruption...she will be supported by the GOP until it is to late then they will exposed what Sen. Clinton allowed to happened to that poor girl in Oregon

What ever happened to moral ethics. No wonder kids are like they are today and why its becuase of the older generation. They need to take a look at this. Its very serious when our kids see this. I know that I am teaching my kids right from wrong...

Anyone that believes the line of crap from these two, needs to pull their head out.

It could have been worse for Bill Clinton.

He could have married 1)a Stepford Librarian, or 2) a vehicular manslaughter expert like the Connecticut Cowboy from Crawford did!

Take your pick!!!

Although I'm not a political supporter of Hillary, I have to agree with what Mike Huckabee (who is certainly no liberal) said about the Clintons a few weeks ago: they deserve credit for working through their marital problems, and in spite of everything, they managed to raise an intelligent and well-adjusted daughter. Now look at Giuliani: multiple marriages and kids who don't talk to him! "Values party," indeed.

While everyone is ripping on Hillary, did anyone ever stop to think what goes on in a marriage is far too complicated for anyone outside to analyze. We see only small parts of what is going on and can only guess at motivations. What it really boils down to is that it is no one's business but theirs as to why they stay together. All the Giuliani supporters are tearing up the Clintons but seem to ignore that their candidate brought his soon to be third wife into the mayor's mansion while wife number two and the kids were still living there.

Does the fact that she overlooked an affair have anything to do with the fact that if she did not stay with Bill she would have zero political power to stand on? Who gives a crap, cut through the media bs and tell the truth, and please for gods sake CNN(Media) stop making people out to be puppets. Please report news and stop reporting propaganda for your liberal/democratic viewers to buy and eat up like some sort of hallmark card.

Wow, so many nasty and petty comments!!! What a depressingly cynical country we have become!!!

When is the statute of limitation on the Monica issue going to expire? It's been 9 long years and, as far as we know, Bill has not transgressed again.

It always amazes me how people who claim to be "Christians" are the most judgmental and unforgiving. I guess that I missed those lessons in Bible school, my Christ is all about love and forgiveness. I pity some of you.....

Posted By Maria, Houston

. . . never mind that she voted for the war in which thousands of inocent people are being killed

. . . and you Hillary can continue being sooo romantic…

The smartest comment posted here.

Why is the traditional media taking this article that discusses why African Americans should vote for her and reporting about one question. Why not share what she had to say about the African American vote? The substance of the article is why she should get the Black vote. Don't you think everyone should hear what she is saying to a significant segmet of the country.

I do think this article is a bit "cheesey". But some of these statements are just terrible! Haven't you ever heard of "love blinding" you to your significant others' flaws? "Not wanting to believe" that they would cheat on you? And it's her own decision to stay with Bill, and notice – if anyone should be – he's not complaining! So quit harpooning them about their personal lives, and focus on what you dislike in their political objectives! And hey, anyone's better than Bush, right?? LOL

I gush just to look at him on the TV screen! I wish my husband were so romantic.

When the President of the USA can engage a female intern in his Oval Office for sexual funtimes, after surviving several previous charges of sexual misconduct while married, says something about his relationship with his wife. Is he that terrible a philanderer or is his wife a.....? Just asking!

Lance in Monrovia CA

Thank you for laying out these stats!!

I knew these polls didn't mean much, but you really pointed out just how misrepresentative they can be!

I think I will vomit now...not only is this too much information, but, of course he is guying her gifts, he's a cheater! Take a psychology course!

Please ladies and gents:

Do not bother defending Mrs Clinton bashing by mostly GOP half-illiterate members, bloggers and Obama bloggers masquerading as angry citizens. Power belongs to the people, allow the electorate to decide if Mrs Clinton erred to be with her husband or if she's right. It is either you are ignoramus or downright retarded to think any woman will stay with a man she met in College for 36 years because she's wants to be president. If Al Gore had won the Presidency, wouldn't his VP be the conventional choice of the party? Where is the opportunity for Mrs Clinton? Many of you are just downright information manipulators. If Kerry had won, he could have been President till 2012. Where is the opportunity with his VP vying for the position? Some of you will allude that Bill Clinton did not work hard for him so he can lose to allow an opening for his wife in 2008. No matter what he/she does, some of you will still complain. Though it did not occur to you that even Chelsea Clinton was compaigning for Kerry/Edwards in 2004 election while Pres Clinton was recovering from bypass heart surgery. To rap it up, elections are won by electoral votes and there is no other democrat in this race that will deliver Florida except Mrs Clinton. For the dems, if you choose, vote another candidate. In 13 months the result will prove itself. Did you watch the republican presidential debate? Could any of them say HOW they can beat Mrs Clinton, rather they were full of rhetorics but could not answer HOW they could do it. Did you notice the question Chris Wallace asked them – that even in Florida she's way ahead of ALL of them. They entered into another rhetorics arguing she's within margin of error in BEATING them. When you have 8 republicans UNABLE to tell their party HOW they could beat Mrs Clinton, i think we dems need to understand we have a grove going. I bet you that as soon as any of them gets the nomination they will run to the center to blur the differences between them and her in most of the policies. Hate her or like her, she's the only candidate running within the democratic party that can easily win the presidency in 2008. Vote any candidate you prefer but only one can win the presidency amongst the democratic candidate and that is Mrs Clinton. Everybody is entitled to their opinion but there's only one fact. THIS IS FACT. We need to rally around our winning ticket and rout the infidels out of White House.

Hillary practices the family values that repubs only talk about. She stuck with her husband and kept the family together. Repubs cheat on their wives (Rudy, Thompson, Gingrich, McCain). I'll give Romney a pass. Most repubs just talk family values, they don't live them.

Chris, Middletown

Grow up and stop with the name calling.
If you've got evidence to prove what I said in the previous post was wrong fine...cite your source.

My point was not to defend Hillary but to stop the political spin. As other people can attest, I've also pointed out the spin from liberal bloggers too. I have no like nor do I support for Hillary...too much baggage and questionable policies. However, this board exists for debate, opinions, and facts, NOT the political spin that you have so far spread. I'm sure you realize that there are far more tangible things to hit Hillary with than some thesis written nearly 40 years ago. Furthermore, I would more than likely agree with some of that stuff rather than this Alinsky business

Amy, seatle
you're a clinton sheep, just follow what ever she tells you. nice couples always have affairs with interns, and nice couples always stay with each other because of what their spouce can do for their career. Real nice healty relationship.

Hillary talks about her "romance" with Bill.

Close, Hillary, but no cigar.

I love the smell of frightened republicans

I don't care about their romance, or the fact that he philandered, or the fact that Hilary stayed with him in spite of it.

I do care that this is an inane topic in a long line of inane topics. Hillary's clothing, her hair, wearing or not wearing a flag pin, her laugh, and her cleavage - her CLEAVAGE! - have all been headline news for some reason. Now her level of romance with Bill? Come on, Mooney. That's not really worth blogging about. Whether or not we support Hillary for president, it'd be nice to see less recycled fluff.

Why does Hillary have to pay for mistakes Bill Clinton made? Seriously!!! Please cut the lady some slack.

Can someone please show me the perfect marriage? There is no such thing as the perfect marriage. She made decisions that worked for her just like every other woman should make decisions that work for them. What were her vows? 'For good or for bad', so God himself knew there will be good days and bad days. What's important is that the good days outweigh the not so good ones.

It's very interesting to note here that the people who are mad at Hillary for staying with her man are SINGLE. Most married couples feel differently because they know the trials and tribulations of a marriage. But SINGLE people on the other hand...well 'misery loves company'.

Had Hillary left Bill when he had an affair then all of you will now be saying she doesn't value family because she didn't stand by her man and forgive her man. She decided to stay and you want her committed for that too....WOW. Give the lady a break!!!

Scuse me while I puke.

What a bunch of disqusting people. I would expect that from Republicans, but Democrats. Very few people here have any manners.

Gross.

Hillary's thinly-veiled attempt at appearing more human, comes across as wooden – predictably.

She should've emphasized "family" and hauled out Chelsea for some hugs and discussions about important values, religion, etc.

I wish the GOP would put up a viable candidate who doesn't make me retch.

Sounds to me folks, like you'd all be a lot happier with Ron Paul for President. This guy is the smartest guy running, quite consistent, doesn't lie, and won't interfere with the Constitution, regardless of his religious position.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul

Jon, from Pittsburg, PA was right on target about how we shouldn't talk about others we don't know until he became as negative and critical about Christians in general. You definitely showed your cards on that one.

It's a common principle that what bothers us the most about other people is usually the biggest problem within our own life.

My bet is that a large percentage of these people attacking Hillary now with such deep knowledge of her every thought and intention would claim to be Christian. All the while they are spreading gossip and lies. They are not acting very Christian-like. If you think you know so much about the Clintons from what you’ve heard on the news or talk-radio, you are so sadly mistaken and should be ashamed instead of so bold. My guess is that you could never stand up to this kind of scrutiny and focus on yourselves.

Posted By Jon, Pittsburgh, PA : October 23, 2007 2:31 pm

He's also about the only chance she has of being elected President. She's got no personality, surely not much to look at, so, really she's got brains and determination. That's probably the reason Bill couldn't get away too, God bless his miserable soul.

Oh, my GOD!!! You've go to be kidding me!!!! WHO CARES!!! You know why you have to print STUPID articles like this?? Because this woman has no SUBSTANCE!!! She is NOT a leader!! Good grief, America WAKE UP!!

More disingenuous BS from Hillary... blah, blah, blah

Tom,
It is all a bunch of hype. The Clintons set back the cause of women everywhere when Billy's escapades came to light and Hillary "stood by". She set back our cause 500 years. It sent out the clear message that having an affair on your wife might result in a slap on the wrist, but it will be OK. Look, the President did it and all is well.

I can't STAND what Hillary represents, it makes my stomach wretch.

DT of Wisconsin and Maria of Florida:

You guys are so much of Clinton haters and seems that you know nothing outside of FOX and Rush. Its shameful that you blame Clinton for the total mess Bush has created so far (3,800 dead and 800 billion in hole, and countless Iraqis dead). By your standard if the presidency is decided on who has the clenest marriage record, then why not Cheney run for the presidency after your family man Bush? Guliani of course won't fit into that category at all.

oh true love, a WOODEN giraffe...

Best vid ever on why NOT to have a Clinton/Bush dynasty; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c0eLVYbnI4

More disingenuous BS from Hillary. Blah, blah, blah...

Gross. He horrible and she is worse. Talk about a step back for womens' rights. She kept him around for political reasons only – and he knows it. Makes me sick.

Give me a break. Why would anyone be outraged about this whether it was politically motivated or not? Seriously in the grand scheme of things if someone said they loved thier husband to get votes would that bother you any more then all of the other broken promises along the campaign trail. I just think this illicits such a response because of the strong hatred of the clintons. If anyone in the same situation said this it would be a non story.

This article just makes me ill. I have absolutely no respect for this woman,or her husband . Their's is a marriage with a power agenda. My biggest beef with this woman is that she has given a "powerful" message to the young women of our country.The message is it's O.K. to stay with a philandering husband as long as the pay off is money and power,nevermind that your personhood has been devalued and that you are worth more than that.
This spin-doctor prescription makes me sick!

This newest Clinton script is just so sad. I suppose their handlers suspect (they are probably correct) that her political opponents are gearing up to expose all of Billy's affairs in Europe since he's left the White House. I hear about them all the time when I visit relatives in Europe. Don't know if the rumors are true.

Is this informative, news, political? What gross self-absorbtion to think that people would want to know this. Far, far too much information.

If America had a King and Queen, William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary R Clinton would be our royalty. Bill and Hillary are the most loved and most reviled couple in the country.
Bill at his worst is 100 times better than Bush and Hillary, well, she is nonpariel. These two are an American treasure, much to the dismay of republicans.

Posted By Tom, AlBUQUERQUE, NM : October 23, 2007 1:19 pm

Tom,

A national treasure??? Dude, you need to lay off the peyote.

Republicans are praying the Dems are stupid enough to nominate this woman. It will be a field day and another 8 years of Republican rule in the White House!

Please romantic? Hillary is so phony and insincere it makes me sick. Dave in Colorado is right on the money when he says her commitment to the marriage was just a good political move.

All you Bill and Hillary fans really need to wake up! I mean c'mon, are you people really that gullable? If America were to have a king and queen, Hillary and Bill would be royalty? Are your frigg'n kidding me? PAHLEEZ! Spare me the bull****.

All of you, who are critical of Sen. Clintonsstatements and feelings for her husband, should take a closer look at your own relationships. It amazes me how all of you seem to know what's in her mind and heart.

Why when its soo important to regain control of the country do the Democrats insist that our choices are Clinton or Obama? Edwards starts looking good after these distractions. Thousands of American and Iraqi lives are at stake meanwhile we squabble about Hillary's marriage?

Ya know folks, people CAN change. Yes, Bill cheated and she could have thrown him to the curb. But she chose to try to work it out, and it appears Bill got the message and made the same effort. I suspect she threatened him with the riot act if he ever strayed again... and I suspect he knew she meant it. Personally, I wouldn't want to betray the lady and expect her to forgive more than once!
For those who say it can't be done, I beg to differ. I have a very close friend who had a short "fling" with a younger woman. I figured his marriage was Over with a capital O. His wife, rightfully & understandably, went ballistic. But he is trying really really really hard to work it out with her. He blames himself totally and is so remorseful that I hope they can work it out. He is like a different person today than when this happened, so I really think people can change and sometimes deserve a second chance. Maybe Bill was one of those men who recognized what a monumental stupid idiotic mistake he made and decided to turn his life around.

Just wondering if he has ever brought home to Hilary an STD from his overseas adventures?

Ok, but really... the watch reminded him of teeth? how is that romantic? sounds kinda gross...

Disingenuous and calculating.......not the kind of person we need in the White House

As my grandmother told me..if you have to spread a rumor about someone to make yourself feel better...you're simply a low life. So, If you are commenting on here based on what you've been told by someone or watched or heard on FOX News, or invented..you're simply spreading rumors....that qualifies those of you doing that for the title of LOW LIFE. The best way not to be a low life is to Think for yourself, do your research on this person as a human being and public official and make up your own mind....don't be a mindless sheep.

Hilary is a politician...
she is doing what a good politician would do.
Who even knows what their life is like only they do. I love Bill Clinton and Hillary, maybe not as husband and wife but they are good people on a whole.
I think that they will be this world's POWER COUPLE!
I CANNOT WAIT!!!
LOVE THE CLINTONS

Mike from Houston

Perjury is the crime that bothers you the most about Bill Clinton. By applying this standard you must really hate the current administration.

His time was the most prosperous time in recent years for America. Remember we had a surplus and double digit employment growth in all major sectors of the economy. If Bill Clinton’s sexual indiscretions were the only price … I’d say we got off cheap!

HOW CUTE!! I bet all the women sleeping with Bill say the same thing, Hill. Just think – after you lose the election, you, your romantic husband, and his 6 ongoing affairs can move to the high plains of the Utah desert to create a "village" to raise Bill's new children.

I love how much all you Republicans hate the Clintons. You supported the worst president in history and now YOU have american blood on your hands! The Hillary stood by her man "for better and for worst". They are much better for our country than any of the others.

My, my, what an extremely jaded bunch! I know that every marriage has its problems. What goes on inside a marriage isn't really anyone's business, whether they are president or running for president. Just because we know about theirs doesn't mean that yours or anyone else's marriage is better. Their marriage is really the way marriage is in many countries - it's an alliance that brings greater strength to both of them.

Apparently this is more important then why there seems to be a Chinese cloud hanging over the Clintons that no one will address.

I just threw up on my keyboard! Thanks CNN, this is going to be a real hassle to clean up!

I am still amazed at the stupidity and immaturity of the American electorate. You people still look at this election as a republican and democrat issue. Both parties are two heads of the same snake. There is no difference just an illusion of one. All the so-called leading contenders are members of the council of foreign relations which is a well known globalist, Northern American Union, corporate American serving organization containing the elite of the elite (Romney,Billary,Guiliani,Obama, etc.) Luckily, democrats and republicans are both inferior in numbers to the new majority independents. You know them, the non cool-aid drinking rational citizens. Wake up people even Hillary stated she isn't pulling the troops of Iraq. Wake up!

So does this mean Laura Bush will be running for President in a few years time ?

seems like being the White house wife qualifies for experience in this country.

Hmmm, why does the collection of Hillary hate seems to be concentrated with the supporters of the party of sexual deviants, pedophils, deranged, pernicious evangelicals, self-rightous war mongering, lying, deceitful, self-absorbed, selfish, greedy, ...REPUBLICANS?

Oh so romantic i wounder if billy boy was also so romatic with monika

Posted By Bill, Streamwood, IL : October 23, 2007 3:06 pm

I'll write this slow so you can read it "Billy", Mitt Romney has had ONE wife and has been happily married with no cheating at ALL for about 35 years.

Neither party has the claim to moral superiority as BOTH SIDES have played the we are for families and have family values, and BOTH parties have lied, cheated and created scandal just as much as the other.

Focus on what this posting is about and not acting like school kids, "well so and so did this" and "so and so did that".

Simple question, was Hillary being strong and truthful by "standing by her man"(Hi dawn) after repeated infidelities or did she just do it for strictly "political expedience"?

Focus on the subject at hand, please.

I'd be interested in viewpoints based simply on these two and nobody else.

This is a good thing for Mrs clinton it all about her happiness not yours. Stay with your man. right decision, someone else would have got him.

Cigars again, says Hillary to the devilish smiling Bill..

Hillary 08!

Research Hillarys teacher – Saul Alinsky – you will see why she is the way she is....everything is "a means to an end" – theres nothing Bill could of done to shake Hillary...nothing...I love the people defending her...now...Hillraisers...are the people who will get to sleep in the Lincoln bedroom....and I guess Hillmorons are those who will defend Hillary in blogs?

How romantic! I love Hill & Bill–they are like my parents to me

Don't forget: He still cheated on you, Hillary.

Sounds like Dave in Colorado and James in Arizona are soooo jealous of Bill Clinton. GO HILLARY!!!

"Hillary was willing to stay with "Bonking Bill" through at least 15 years of allegations and admissions of infidelity she is either very stupid (in which case she doesn't need to be president)or she was calculating on Bill's presidency to help her to become president one day!"

Maybe she just loves him.

"I can't believe people are still caught up with the Monica story. Get over it. You were willing to impeach a president for this but not for sending hundreds of people to die in a useless war."

Clinton was not impeached because he had an affair with Monica. He was impeached because he lied about it under oath, also called contempt. Bush may have lied, but he didn't under oath so no impeachment there.

"At least the dems haven't manufatured an unecessary war that's taken so many lives and ripped apart so many families-both here and abroad."

Plenty of Dems voted for the war too. It's just in the past year that they've woken up.

She can lie even better then Bill! For their entire marriage he has has affairs with dozens of different women and this so called feminist stays with him so she can reach a position in government she would never have attained if she hadn't played on the sympathies of the voters. Vote Democrat – any Democrat but Hillary Clinton.

I am totally fed up with the idea of political dynasties in this country. My feelings are best summed up in this amazing youtube video. If you haven't seen it yet you simply must. It's tasteful, funny, and its two minutes out of your day. Click the link to see "History Repeating".

As a woman who is a democrat I would love to see a fellow female democrat become President only not this woman. I agree with many who say the only reason she is popular is because of who she is married to. People are under the misguided assumption that if she wins then we will have Bill back. That is sadly not the case. We need new blood in that seat. It is a scary thought that two families have been in control of the free world since 1980. Bill was a great president, the best in my lifetime but the time of the Bushes and Clintons must end.

I'm sure he brings gifts...sometimes the sign of misbehavior or guilt.

Good Lord, some act like she is the only First Lady to have a cheating husband. Almost ever president has had an affair in office, there have been reports and reports on this. Some people develop stronger relationships after an affair, that is their personal life and only they know what it is like.

Since it seems like the only thing people can harp on Bill Clinton about is the he had a gf, he is actually way ahead on the politican scale.

OK Hillary you have my vote already...but please spare me the fairytales of your romantic life with Bill. We all know that Bubba is a ladies man and for you his boat has sailed a long time ago. The only reason your so called marriage survived was because of the fact that both of you are very ambitious people and had big political dreams. ( not that there is anything wrong with it).
Just one friendly advice to Hillary" You are the next President of this country..don't F it up by telling romantic fables involving Bill"

Call Bush bumbling, inarticulate – at least the guy is authentic.

Posted By James, Phoenix AZ : October 23, 2007 3:08 pm

Yup. An authentic imbecile.

"He's so romantic" translate into "He's covering his tracks"

Has he brought her an STD yet ??
What a "horn-dog" !

Jane,

A real woman looks at the situation and does what is best for herself and her kids. No one answer is correct for everyone. I know a couple of people who have been cheated on and they have stayed and have ended up being happy.

A real woman would not be so judgemental of another woman without walking in her shoes.

Sure he's romantic... I remember something about a blue dress and a cigar...

R.D. in Edmonton:

1. Sure, Clinton got a little (a lot?) of action in the office. While tasteless in his choice of location, it wasn't the end of the world. But his impeachment was a due to lying as part of a larger sexual harassment claim, which, to this day, baffles me as to why he's still popular among women- particularly those on the left. And he's been accused of far worse when it comes to "getting a little action." Which makes this article seem absolutely ridiculous.

2. As for Bush sending people off to die: if Clinton had nipped this whole Middle Eastern terrorism thing in the 90s, back when the WTC was first hit, US embassies where exploding in Africa, and the USS Cole got hit, well, maybe we wouldn't be in Iraq right now. Then again, Clinton possibly wouldn't have left office with his precious 60%+ approval rating if he would've acted. And Clinton said he was "obsessed" about bin Laden. Mmm-hmm.

If Canada or its interests ever gets continuously attacked by one-track-minded maniacs, maybe then you'd understand us Yanks. At least 50% of us.

TO ALL YOU NEGATIVE BLOGGERS,
WHAT SAD PEOPLE YOU ARE. A COUPLE HAS UPS AND DOWNS IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP, AND IT IS OUT THERE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE BUT PULL IT TOGETHER AND MAKE IT WORK.IF YOU HAVE GOT A PROBLEM WITH THE CLINTONS POLITICS FINE TALK ABOUT THAT.BOY YOU RIGHT-WINGERS LOVE TO HATE. I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU. ALL THAT HATE MUST REALLY EAT YOU UP INSIDE.

I just threw up on my keyboard.

Posted By RP, Woodstock, GA : October 23, 2007 3:04 pm

Never, EVER forget that the largest increases in the federal deficit occurred under Ronaly Reagan and George W. "Pretzelboy" Bush. Our grandchildren will be paying off the debts incurred by those two losers.

I suppose you have no problem with Bush financing his illegal war in Iraq by borrowing money from Red China....

Lot's of cynicism..probably coming from people who are being cheated on themselves as they type. Despite the blog's venom, despite the marital history of the Clintons and their unique relationship, I'm willing to bet Bill and Hillary still have a great deal more meaning across their relationship for one another than the rest of America's clingy, pious and superficial marriages.

I wonder if STD is one of the things he brought her back...

I notice first they put a negative piece out about Obama and McClurkin, then right after they have this disgustingly positive piece about Hillary, and it's even less news than the first issue!

LOL I always get a kick out of people who have there own baggage and jump on other people for theirs. ITS NO ONES BUSINESS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO IN THERE PERSONAL LIVES. Who the heck are you to question anyone’s personal choices!
I’m glad they worked it out, it’s more then 50% of America can say. What’s the divorce rate of people who just GIVE UP instead of working things out? KUDOS for them making there mirage work. It shows just how strong they truly are. (And no I am NOT a supporter of Hillary)It’s sad to see the people who can’t separate political views and personal views. How many of you “Christians” wanted them to just end the relationship and not work on it LOL

To RD Carter in Canada. We are not "P.O'd" because Bill "got a little action" in the White House. We are "P.O'd" because Bill got away with perjury. Apparently it wasn't only Americans that bought the "bait and switch" tactic used by Bill during that period.

It's funny that they get so much flak when they are doing what the right-wingers are always preaching and just can't seem to accomplish themselves. Look at Rush, Rudy, Vitter in La. Guess they are so frustrated because they can't live up to their own expectations!

I posted a comment and saw that others posted after mine were published. Could it be that my comment did not get published because I said something good about the Clintons? I do not believe the one sided negativity you publish is representative of your commentors let alone the public at large.

CNN is worse than FOX when it comes to instigating hatred.

I can't believe people are still caught up with the Monica story. Get over it. You were willing to impeach a president for this but not for sending hundreds of people to die in a useless war. I am also surprise how many people know Hillary and Bill so well that know all the details of their personal life. Don't be ridiculous!! I wonder what many of you here will do if in the same situation. Americans think for once and elect a president that really cares about the issues in this country.

I never fail to be amazed at the number of small minded people, mostly Republicans, conservatives, and Clinton haters, who think they really know what is in the heart and mind of Hillary. We all know about Bill's marital infidelity but apparently Hillary's learned how to forgive him for it and move on with her life, which is more than I can say for most of her critics. Who the hell are ANY of you to question her decision to stay with the man she married?

Bill and Hillary are so cynical. Only Republicans know the meaning of "love", "commitment", and "family values". If Bill and Hillary were Republicans, they'd each be on their third marriage, and each to someone twenty-five years younger.

I thought I was going to barf when I heard this. A real woman would have tossed him on his ear long ago despite what Charlie Rangel has to say.

I am not against her, but it is very hard to believe with all the published and proven affairs by Bill, that she is so smooth about him. Well, this is a good tactic when pandering to conservatives from the Bible belt, I guess. I am a little concerned that she is so gullible about certain moral issues and this just proves my concern.

I just love these two people. I don't care what the haters say, both have been and will be good for the country.

Hillary should spend more time contemplating votes that could end American lives and less time making me gag with her magazine interviews.

For those of you who have OD’d on the Clinton cool-aid let me explain. I do not underestimate the intelligence of either Bill or Hillary, in fact I think they are both brilliant and I voted for Bill twice and supported her Senate bid in 2000. I could also care less about his side action or anything else that goes on in either of their personal lives. But I believe her decision to stay with Bill was made for the same reasons as her 2002 vote to authorize the Iraq war – to better position herself as a potential presidential candidate. I hold the same views on any other candidate (Edwards, Dodd, Biden, and Richardson) who voted or supported that 2002 authorization at the time, male or female, so don’t try to play the sexist card on me. We all remember (or should) how any member of Congress who opposed the first Gulf War saw any future political aspirations he/she had eliminated because they were suddenly seen as “wimps” or weak on defense. We also saw what happened to Max Cleland in the 2002 election after he bravely opposed this bogus war.

I believe all these candidates used their intellect to make a calculated political decision in 2002, not one based on reason and what is truly best for America, but one that was based on what was (at least they thought so at the time) best for their careers.

I for one and sick and tired of this kind of political posturing and calculated decision making. I want someone who will vote their conscious and do what they believe is truly best for all Americans.

The "story" is so thin it makes me want to gag. Come on CNN.
If anyone thinks she is anything but a power hungry, calcualting cold fish they are blind. She would stay with the devil if she thought he could get her in the WH. I am sure she never considerd leaving Bill and was only angry because he made her look bad...not that she actually loved him. This woman has no warmth or humanity, just greed a lust for power. You don't fool me and I know you are no fool so who are you trying to kid. The good little wifey! Hah
What a sick joke.

BARF!!!

I didn't vote for Al Gore, but at least he could kiss his wife on the lips and you felt the love.

Watching the Clinton's, I just feel the pain! Go ahead, Bill... kiss her on the lips... I dare ya, Bubba!

Yuck.

You repubs act like no one in your party has ever lied or cheated...you sanctimonious soap-boxers! Get real! Look at Mark Foley and Larry Craig for god's sake!

...and if you MUST cast judgment (which you always seem so skillfully able to do), I'd rather have those shenanigans in the White House than the current mental deficit we do now.

For example, just look at how many scandals your party has recently had...how dare you have the nerve to pry into and criticize someone else's private life while your very own little GOP party dress is tainted with the blood of all those American soldiers.

At least the dems haven't manufatured an unecessary war that's taken so many lives and ripped apart so many families-both here and abroad.

Talk about family values...hypocrites.

I don't believe that anyone would question Bill being romantic ; )

There is only one possible reaction to this article - nausea.

Aw, how touching! Looks like they're still in love ... and after all the terrible things he has done.

Question! How many wives has Mitt Romney had? How many wives has Fred Thompson had (and if his current one is the trophy wife, what do we call his next wife)? How many wives has Rudy Guiliani had (as of today, the number might be different a year from now)?

Looks like the Republican candidates talk about family values while the Democratic candidates practice it.

I just threw up on my keyboard.

Does anybody in the world believe this?

Cinton wants POWER!! Be foolish, give it to her.

Say goodbye to your bank account. If anyone is thinking of voting for clinton, stop, give everyone in the room $100 and reconsider. Don't want to give everyone $100- DON'T VOTE FOR HER. Think I'm being ridiculous? Remeber this Clinton knows how to spend your money better then you do.

As usual you arm-chair pundits in your endless desire to out cynic each other are missing true humor in this piece.

And I quote

"he had a vikingesque beard."

I really like the Clintons, but I will never be able to look at them the same way knowing that it started with "Bubba the Viking!"

Hillary says in her recent book that she did not know her husband was cheating on her! This is hard to believe in view they had people involved to quell any Bimbo Eruptions in the 1992 campaign. If she can't tell the truth about her husband, then she can't be depended upon to make the tough decisions in the white house'

Why are people looking down on her just because she chose to stay in her marriage? She stated in this very article, "It's important for women to stand up for the right of women to make the decision that is best for THEM." I think that Hillary would have stayed with Bill if they were just a couple of regular Joe Schmoes, and that doesn't make her any less capable. No one here knows the intimate details of their relationship, or how they truly feel towards each other, and her relationship can't be judged along the same lines of anyone else's relationship. Claiming that she's no longer a hero because she chose to forgive and move on is absolutely ridiculous.

someone makes her marriage works and she's calculating? Maybe you need to do the same to save ur marriage. Life itself is calculating if you don't please try it.

Shameless idiots GOP. You talking point Rush can't even keep a marriage..

IF DO ME A FAVOR LEAVE THE COUNTRY IF SHE WINS. DON"T TAKE THE INSURANCE JUST LEAVE.

"

Let me get this straight. You folks are PO'd with Hillary because you're still PO'd Bill got a little action at the office. Yet, you're OK with your current President who has sent 3800 of your finest sons and daughters to their death in the armpit of the world for no good reason.

I will never understand you Yanks….
Posted By R.D. Carter, Edmonton, Canada : October 23, 2007 2:34 pm "

And Stephen Harper has done so much for you there R.D.?
Well maybe for you Alberta folks, while the rest of the country waits their fair share.
Some of we "yanks" pay attention.

There is something wrong with any abused woman who stays with her abuser.What is wrong with Hillary is she is greedy for power. She sold herself for that power by staying with Bill after numerous affairs. If she will sell herself, she will sell you and me. Voter beware.

"He's so romantic"....to everyone he meets.

OK, stone throwers. Dont hate!

We'll have to see how the beloved Guilliani markets his multiple divorces, infidelities, and the fact his own kids wont talk to him.

....and they walk forth blindly.....
Hillary is Bush....don't you get it??

To those who are posting negative comments: do you know any wives who stayed with their husbands after an affair? It's quite common. Plus she's a Methodist at heart and believes marriage is for keeps. And there's Chelsea to consider, who loves her dad.
Disagree with her on politics, maybe; but on marriage she's pro family all the way!

I love how much all of you neocons hate the Clintons. You supported the worst president in history and now YOU have american blood on your hands! I just hope you remember your repubican icons were liberals. Jesus and the founding fathers were LIBERALS!

Good grief; how many of you honestly believe the stuff this woman says or does? Its all a thinly disguised act for the nomination and her lust for money and power! What an act! She ought to get awards just like Al Gore does for "flim flam"!

It's funny to see them all hugged up close together. I feel she's only doing this because she wants to be President. None-the-less, she still doesn't have my vote. When her husband was President, and they went thru that stuff about him and Monica L., well I expected to see the President with some brusing or something, to hear her voice her anger. (nothing) He looked and she looked as if nothing happen. She should have took care of business. If she can't take care of business at home and got with his butt, how can she stand strong for the United States. (She's the women who let her husband walk all over her). So, I don't think she would be a strong leader. It's like she gave every man the right of way to do what President Clinton did and get away with it. She does not have my vote.

R.D. Carter – believe me, we're not "OK with your current President." Those of us, including former military personnel and ones currently stationed over there, have no faith in this Presidency. I talked with a friend stationed in Iraq the other day, and he said he'd feel better about what he was doing if he "believed it was really making a difference or worth anything."

My friends are dying and being wounded for a President who could care less about the men and women of his country. The Decider is an idiot, and many of us can't wait to see him leave the office he's disgraced.

WHY????? Why did I choose to read this during lunch? !!!! Oh, G-d, I'm going to puke.... bye!

You've got to be kidding me...Ewww!

Let me get this straight. You folks are PO'd with Hillary because you're still PO'd Bill got a little action at the office. Yet, you're OK with your current President who has sent 3800 of your finest sons and daughters to their death in the armpit of the world for no good reason.

Posted By R.D. Carter, Edmonton, Canada : October 23, 2007 2:34 pm

I've lived here all my life, and I can't understand that.

What a bunch of hosers, eh??

Republicans can whine and complain about Hillary all they want, but the fact of the matter is Hillary will win the upcoming election in a LANDSLIDE.

I find it interesting that most of these posters presume to know what is "really going on" in someone else's relationship. What I see here is pure speculation based on the writers' own experience or imagination and may or may not have any relation to the reality of the Clintons' marriage.

Yea, make me gag! Hillary is out for one thing and that is power. For the amount of times that Bill got caught with his pants down around his ankles and she still calls him romantic! CNN is this all you do is give this bleeding heart liberal a platform, shame on you!

While this is all heart warming and all, this election is about ideas! No brownie points here! Next "story" please!

I used to be proud of Hillary for being a strong women and not afraid to speak her mind as first lady. I remember her saying she was not a "stand by your woman man". I finally had the guts to get out of a 25 year marriage, but I feel Hillary let me down when she let her husband keep on humiliating her again and again. She is my hero no more. Obama has my vote.

to Steve in new York yes adultery is a sin mentioned in the bible like homosexuality, but one big difference...those who practice adultery...usually know it is wrong (hence sneaking around) and two: are not marching in the streets for everyone to accept their behavior as good and equal to marriage. Same for the guys who like 3-ways, and other whacked out stuff

Yes, Hillary is sooo romantic... never mind that she voted for the war in which thousands of inocent people are being killed, remember, at least she is not DIVORCED...

23 of her fellow senators were not "mislead" and voted AGAINST the war. Hillary Clinton did not bother as much as to read reports. Those dead soldiers will never have chance to bring gifts to their loved ones. And you Hillary can continue being sooo romantic...

appears that the naysayers really fear Hillary

Everybody making judgements on Hillary and her marriage just need to STFU. I said the same thing in regards to Fred Thompson and his wife. The fact is, you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors so stop the inane psychoanalysis.

Take her statements at face value. She's married to the guy and she says she's glad she chose to stick with him. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who can relate.

IF America had a King and Queen and Bill and Hillary were 'Royalty,' they would have both been 'Guillotined' by now and be just a 'mention' in History Books: Bill for Adultery, Shirking Presidential Responsibility and Excessive Lying, and Hillary for Unabashed Lying and Underhanded Crookedness. The Bush Family is a Godsend to Americans. Bush will be remembered as being a Great Leader who stood by Christian Principals and Character while serving in the White House. When under-educated persons are swayed by political aspirations of LowLife such as the Clintons, it is a sad day. The entire Bush Family is of the Highest Quality in every respect, and they will ALL be remembered as such. Bill CLINTON, so romantic? WAKE UP AMERICA...SEE THESE POLITICAL DRIVEN LIES FOR WHAT THEY ARE....HILLARY'S A POWER-MAD, SELFISH, LOVELESS, AND HORMONAL FEMALE WHO IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT. AS FOR BILL, WHY DO YOU THINK HE TRAVELS SO MUCH???

As my 2 year-old son would say, "yucky! yucky!" Puh-leez. This should be in the entertainment section of CNN – if at all. If Mitt Romney starts blabbing about his wife's snuggles, I'm emigrating to Canada. What the hell does this have to do with anything?

Let me get this straight. You folks are PO'd with Hillary because you're still PO'd Bill got a little action at the office. Yet, you're OK with your current President who has sent 3800 of your finest sons and daughters to their death in the armpit of the world for no good reason.

I will never understand you Yanks....

CNN is going to get Hillary elected no matter what!

Look at these stories they have on Hillary...all positive, upbeat, syrupy...then look at the articles on Obama and the other candidates...questioning their policies, who they're seen with, etc.

The "Clinton News Network" – CNN – isn't going to miss this opportunity to put as much positive spin on her campaign as they can...it's just disgusting.

If Guliani's past indiscretions are going to be overlooked, why not give Hillary a free pass? After all she's atleast on her first marriage. What's this Rudy's second?...third?...or have we just stopped counting? The bottom line is that her marriage to Bill reflects that of many marriages in this country. People should stop assuming she stayed with him simply for political gain.

Amazing how people can speak so knowledgeably about others they have never met, never spoken to, never even been in the same room with. They “know” them because of what someone else said about them? There is something horribly wrong with these people – they are engaging in gossip and hearsay. It’s very unbecoming. A very wise person, my grandmother, once said – the worst someone can do to you is spread a lie about you. There is very little you can do about it. Some will believe it without even knowing who you are. The easy thing for Hillary to have done was to divorce Bill over his affair with Monica. The hard thing was to stay together and forgive and move forward. What are Christians supposed to do?

My bet is that a large percentage of these people attacking Hillary now with such deep knowledge of her every thought and intention would claim to be Christian. All the while they are spreading gossip and lies. They are not acting very Christian-like. If you think you know so much about the Clintons from what you’ve heard on the news or talk-radio, you are so sadly mistaken and should be ashamed instead of so bold. My guess is that you could never stand up to this kind of scrutiny and focus on yourselves.

Excuse me while I puke.

Hillary gave up her dignaty and self respect by staying with the bum for her own political ambitions and power. Nothing else.

It's a gray world. So Hillary is calculating, political, opportunistic? Who isn't? You have to be to make a difference. You have to roll with the shades. Sounds like the three success traits of Gates, Jobs, Iacocca, Smith, or any other successful CEO in good old capitalistic US of A.

I now understand why people Magazine has been around for all thee years and the Soaps.

The Founding Fathers were not professional "politicians" they got things done. These people only care about a vote.

Hillary is a disgrace, She is "Everything for free if you elelct me" Free health care free, free money, let the Govt take care of you.

What ahppened my Dad had to go to work to support his Mom worked for the same company for 46 years he never complained and never asked for anything.
This Country has gotten weak and all we do is ask the Govt to take care of us.
Grow up and elect someone that understands the constitution and what this country is about Ron Paul. Democrats Republicans all the same, nothing changes.

What is your dollar worth?

this entire article makes me ill. SURE he brings you things. I"ll bet she spends alot of time in the VD clinic with everything he brings her home. she is a poor poor example to women in this country. God help us if she is elected president.

All you cynics out there need to remember that nobody has the right to analyze what is the "perfect" relationship or the "correct" marriage. Work on your own relationships and leave Bill and Hillary alone.

I think Mrs. Clinton did a wonderful thing with sticking with her marriage. The real reason we have a divorce rate around 50% is people treating marraiges as worthless and running off to get a divorce as soon as they hit a bump. I see nothing calculating about wanting to save your marraige.

Argh, again with the Obama is so great talk. I read on some article that Obama's message is one of hope and faith, Hillary's is one of education and health care reform and Edwards talks about poverty. Tell me something:

What the heck does Edwards really know about poverty? I can't even consider this guy a serious contender, especially with the way his dragon of a wife keeps meddling in his campaign.

And Obama.. yeah, hope and faith is great and all, but how are you going to get our boys out of Iraq with hope and faith? How are you going to start fixing our economy? How are you going to help the health care crisis? How are you going to solve the problems with our education systems with hope and faith? I'm personally starting to get pretty tired of the "fluff and stuff" coming our of Feel Good Obama's campaign, and it wows me that so many people are buying into his talk about being the new face of politics even though he's playing just as dirty as the most old school politicians.

And Clinton. Yeah, she's not perfect. But you know what? There is NOTHING anyone has said against her that's worse than what could be said of any of the other candidates, including the would-be Saint Obama. I mean seriously.. stuck up, verbose, fake??? EVERY LAST ONE of these candidates is fake. She's the only one who's shown any sort of capacity for being a solid and competent president, and the blind lemmings of this country are too caught up in feel-good Obama-related nonsense to see it.

I'm just sad to see Clinton having to do the feel-good spiel in this campaign, instead of being able to focus exclusively on the pertinent issues at hand.

WHAT A JOKE. It's been documented that Bill has NEVER been faithful to her. This is just another political tactic and I can't believe anybody would be dumb enough to fall for it.

Hillary is disgusting with the stuff she's coming up with to get votes and position her campaign.

AMERICA CAN DO BETTER THAN HILLARY. Just about anybody would be better than this fake, self-servicing, self-centered egomaniac.

The only thing I find more comical than the fake sentiment on HRC's part is the negative feedback from men here – as if it's Hillary's fault her husband cheated on her; or maybe men here are saying that she's so much of an Ice Queen that she should have castrated him for it.

First, Bill Clinton is FAR from the first president in history to have an affair. Everyone talks about JFK as if he was the second coming of Christ. Not only did he cheat, but he was a regular at the dives in Las Vegas before becoming president and turning on the casino establishment. Second, Hillary and Chelsea were the victims, and the decision of whether to maintain the family would be no different than any other family going through the same thing – a private matter. Third, we as men would be hypocrits to say the least if we didn't admit that many of our relationships are over money/power; and gullable if we thought that women NEVER did the same.

Quite frankly, I'm betting there are some men here that are responding this way because it secretly scares and humbles some of them to imagine the smallest possibility that their own wives are still married to them for reasons other than love – i.e., image, money/security, loyalty to children, etc. As for the ladies, well... you have to admit there's some truth to the whole Desperate Housewives thing.

I really don't care about anyone's relationship. I want a president who has brains–the smarts to deal with the rest of the world, and our complicated domestic issues. I am so very tired of having an intellectual vacuum in the White House. If Bush had deliberately set out to systematically destroy our reputation around the world, he couldn't have done a better job than he's doing now. It's so very sad...

I love Bill, and I love Hillary, but this sounds like political propaganda. Sorry Mrs. Clinton, but it seems like you're trying to throw an unseen human side into the relationship.

I don't think it's fair for people to say "well, she only stayed with him because he has political power."

Do those people really know that? No.

I personally think that it was a positive moral act for Hillary to decide to stick with her husband despite having every reason to leave him. When so many Christian marriages end in flames and divorce and lots of people (including conservatives) lament the state of America because of the divorce rate, it is a nice thing to see someone with the fidelity to stick with her husband despite his very public betrayal. Why must we judge her even for that?

Some of us have loved ones in Iraq. When are Americans going to realize that they are not at camp or visiting, leisurely? Do you have ANY idea what it is truly like?If you don't have any compassion, at least try to fake it. Please.

Hillary Clinton is a liar. She stayed with Bill for her own political agenda.Any woman who suffers world wide political humilation as she did at the hands of her husband and stays with her man, it just reeks like a political tactic, not one of love and forgiveness

I'm laughing so hard right now. A wooden giraffe and a watch that reminds him of teeth? HOW ROMANTIC...hahaha!

With 20 comments posted so far 17– all from men–who don't like what they see or hear. That is not an encouraging ratio.
I understand where they come from. But I want to repeat it.
Give women powersharing.
Learn a new kind of family life.
Give them the best of you, not just, as always, your dirty socks.

Of course Clinton is romantic...Why do you think women flock to him? He is easy on the eyes, well spoken, intelligent. For the most part pretty down to earth and easy to talk with. I think most of the people here are just jealous of the success of this couple. Someone please tell me one marriage that doesnt have some type of issue and I will show you a couple who are leading separate lives.

Pl is correct why is it so wrong for Hillary to do what the men in politics have been doing for years?

Now she's insulting our intelligence. Rangel, the POS, comes out knocking Guliani in the only thing that he can, his personal life and 3 wives. The next day she comes out with this nonsense.

Even if she does believe, why say it?

Wake up America! She's done nothing for NY as Senator, and she'll do nothing as POTUS!

To: Tom in Aibuquerque, NM.

King & Queen Clinton better than King & Queen Reagan!

Hillary is the biggest phony in politics, and that's saying something. She's only about winning, not about what is true or false. Her supporters, desperate to have her win, are either the most gullible people that ever lived, or just as false as she is.

Despite Bill's scandelous affairs this family stayed together. Giuliani can say what he wants about Hillary but he can't touch this one. Giuliani and his wife have six(6) marriages between them and all their ex's are still living. If Giuliani's children won't support him, why should we, Chelsey was standing tall with her parents.

This makes me sick,,, the only reason she stayed with him is to run for office. What a sad way to live out your life for such a looser. Stuck with Bill and not President.

Matt R, FL:

You criticize how Hillary handled Bill's affair while frist lady. What exactly do you expect from her? She was about to be humiliated in front of an entire country. Something that is already painful personally was public. She stood strong and she represented the role of first lady with remarkable composure. Would it have been better for her to go on TV crying her eyes out lashing out against her husband. She did what a leading family should do during personal crises and she stayed strong and kept the pain and emotions she was going through to her self. I admired how she handled that situation and so did most Americans. She could have completely distratced the country more had she made it into a hollywood soap opera.

The peeople on here bloging HATE are God loving Christians. Doesn't your faith teach you to FORGIVE? You're to stupid to know what's right and wrong.

GO HILLARY!

Jim – Atlanta,

You wrote, "At least, she has concrete proposals for solving problems."

Gee Jim – you really think Hillary is brilliant for finding new ways to spend $200 Billion a year?? Face it – you're just one of those bought-and-paid-for democrats licking your chops at the new ways Government will pay your bills.

Those of us who believe in personal responsibility, those that believe the American Dream still exists will fight the American Nightmare (Hillary's European Socialism).

If America had a King and Queen, William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary R Clinton would be our royalty. Bill and Hillary are the most loved and most reviled couple in the country.
Bill at his worst is 100 times better than Bush and Hillary, well, she is nonpariel. These two are an American treasure, much to the dismay of republicans.

Are you HIGH????

Is there nothing that this powermad woman will say or do that deserves the slightest respect from any of us.

This article sickens me.

The people that have posted negative comments about the Clinton's need to take a good, hard look at yourselves. I feel sorry for you miserable people.

give me a break...she is delusional

Big mistake for Clitnon to discuss personal issues. This makes it fair game for the media:

1. Who will be in charge?

2. What are the constitutional and practical implications of an essentially "dual" presidency?

3. How can the Clitnon's raise objections to the media's or the republicans' airing of "dirty" laundry, when they attempt to score political points with their "romantic" laundry.

I am glad for any couple who makes it through tough times. But this is not a qualification for president - and, in fact, the focus on the marriage is a misstep.

One president at a time should be responsible for leading the executive branch - how can Senator Clinton fire or demote former President Clinton if he deserves it? It will never happen because they both know too much about one another. Dangerous.

I am surprised by so many of the reactions people have to the Clinton marriage. Its fine if you don't like Hillary Clinton, but this dislike because of her marriage is really upsetting. Her and Bill do not have the perfect marriage, but how many of you would look like the happy married couple if every single thing you did, every kiss, every trip, every comment, was analyzed with skepticism. I am sure most marriages would look terrible. I do admire the Clinton marriage in one way...it is a marriage where both the man and woman can have successful careers. Hillary didn't just decide she wanted her own political career after Bill became president. She has, since the begining of their marriage, been a successful woman with strong aspirations. Women should not be expected to put their careers on hold if they marry men with equal strong goals.
Cheating is terrible and I don't approve of that. But, their marriage is between them and I feel like there are many more important issues for people to analyze than this.

Not hating, but just making an observation. Hilly stayed w/ Bill b/c she knew she eventually wanted to be in politics herself, and let's face it, without Bill, she would never even have become a senator, nor get as close as she is to presidency. And to those who think she ran the country, what a laugh. I would rather see Michael Jackson and that monkey he used to have as Pres and VP for that fish out of water Hilly.

CALUCULATIONS– ITS ALL ABOUT CALCULATIONS.. SHAMELESS PEOPLE

You right wing bloggers, whether you like it or not, there is no qualified candidate in your camp as Hillary. So, just shut up! Who cares about Hillary and Bill's marriage life? As long as Hillary as a President (with help from Bill) runs this country smoothly without cowboy mentality and brings prosparity and peace, its all that matters. We have seen for the past 7 years how disasterous this country was run by such a wonderful and religious family man Bush with the help from Cheney, Rumsfield, and Rove.

I'm not a Hillary supporter, but...

I'm sure Chris from Middletown will post something about Hillary and Saul Alinsky again...

Truth is that Hillary was not a mentor or a student of Saul Alinsky. All she did was write a thesis about him. A thesis is hardly worthy of scorn considering many students write reports every year about Hitler, Mussolini, and other evil people.
They were both from Chicago area and she met him 3 times. Not to mention that the paper was written nearly 40 years ago.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388372/

FYI, I'm not defending Alinsky with this post, I'm not that radical. I'm also not voting for Hillary either. I just feel if you are going to attack a person, do it on the issues not what they did 40 years ago in college.

Wow! Dave can read Hillary's mind! When are you going on the road, Dave?

Assuming Dave is correct, what makes Hillary different from most other politicians, business executives and others in positions of power and influence? I don't agree with everything Hillary says but I don't dismiss her arbitrarily either. I weigh her arguments carefully against those put forth by others and try to determine what's best.

At least, she has concrete proposals for solving problems. I see no real proposals from Republican candidates. They chant the same mantra, "cut taxes, cut spending", but don't spell out any details about how specific programs should function and how they should be funded.

With friends like these, who needs enemas?

Here is one money-raising idea for Ms Rodham Clinton.
Perfect this take by CNN and offer it for sale–or donations. This take has got to be as loving as it gets in politics, and the envy of many honeymooners.

A guy I know used to always cheat on his wife. Every business trip he went on he would bring her back a nice gift.

What a romantic.

If America had a King and Queen, William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary R Clinton would be our royalty. Bill and Hillary are the most loved and most reviled couple in the country.

Which is why at the last GOP debate, they spent more time attacking Hillary than talking about themselves. Guess the "Party of Ideas" is fresh out.......

Bill and Hillary may have had rough times, but who hasn't? One way or the other, they made their marriage work – unlike that marital "cut-and-runner", Rudy Giuliani.

Naturally the haters will jump on this and say the whole relationship is a sham or one of convenience. Idiots aside, however, I think the Clintons display a more genuine form of family values than the fire-breathing hate mongers who often have trouble practicing what they preach.
Bill Clinton never moralized from the pulpit, so don't bother trying to bring up the whole Monica debacle (like that's going to stop the haters).
Hillary has shown strength to work through their personal issues that were made public by a group of dispicable old men who were often doing the same thing on the side (or even worse...hello Larry Craig!!!)

Wow, Dave, Evergreen CO, you seem to know everything about women! The Clintons are a nice couple. They are both brilliant remarkable people.. So keep your envy for yourself.

I could care less about her sticking with a cheating husband.

What I do care about is her sticking with George W Bush and Dick Cheney by voting for their war in Iraq.

The truth will be known about Ann Coulter's favorite candidate for the Democratic nomination.

CNN, tell you what, the next time these two kiss, post the picture and that will be a story worth reporting.

He brings you gifts out of guilt, not love, there is a difference.

Now, what could he be guilty of...

If she thinks Monica was the only affair, she is as misguided and jaded as her cult like sheep.

I give these two GREAT, GREAT credit for their sheer political brilliance by putting this is Essense magazine and trying to reframe the truth about their "relationship" before others tell the truth and "redefining" it.

He is an excellent and brilliant politician, she was therefore brilliant to stay with him.

She would not even get close to the presidency if it were not for him, period.

Yep, the same can be said for the idiot Bush as well.

Dave,
a bit cynical, aren't we?
Explain to me and your fellow Americans why it is not appropriate for women to make alliances in order to pursue their interests.
Is that not what men have been doing amongst themselses since the beginning of eternity?

“But I never doubted that it was a marriage worth investing in even in the midst of those challenges and I'm really happy that I made that decision."

Why yes. Without "investing" in her marriage to Bill, she might not be running for president right now.

We all have to pay our dues, I guess.

"He's so romantic. He's always bringing me back things from his trips" – she needs to check the engraving for other womens names....omg...this is a riot!

I wonder if he ever brought her back a STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) from any of his trips?

Oh, gag me...

I think, based on her upbringing, she believed in her Marriage Vows and practiced them.

If America had a King and Queen, William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary R Clinton would be our royalty. Bill and Hillary are the most loved and most reviled couple in the country.
Bill at his worst is 100 times better than Bush and Hillary, well, she is nonpariel. These two are an American treasure, much to the dismay of republicans.

Hillary said,

"He's so romantic. He's always bringing me back things from his trips," the New York senator told the magazine. "He brought me a giant wooden giraffe from Africa. Oh, he bought me this watch…I had dental surgery, and he said it reminded him of teeth.”

---–

You have GOT to be kidding us!! Hillary is going to gush about how romantic Bill, the philanderer is?? She's lucky along with the stiff giraffe, Bill didn't bring her a dose of Gonorrhea!

Sadly – there is a segment of this country will actually believe her and feel warm & fuzzy by Hillary's fake admonitions.

She stayed with him because he is a brilliant political tactician with an enormous amount of important political contacts. Like everything she says or does this decision was based on what is best for her career.
