Clinton Defends Marriage, Lauds 'Romantic' Prez
October 23, 2007 12:01 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: In an interview with Essence Magazine, Hillary Clinton discusses her marriage to the former president.
"Oh, he's so romantic," says the former first lady, "He's always bringing me back things from his trips."
Clinton also made rare remarks on the former (and aspiring) first couple's marital troubles.
"Now, obviously we've had challenges as everybody in the world knows," she told Essence. "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."
Mrs. Clinton pointed out the Chanel watch made of white cubes Mr. Clinton bought her because it reminded him of teeth -- and she was having dental surgery at the time. (ABC News' Green Room Girl points out that this is likely the J12 - putting this gift in the range of $4,200 to $11,950 depending on whether or not Clinton sprung for diamond markers or the bezel).
Candidate Clinton also told the mag that her proudest moment is Chelsea and that her favorite show is "Grey's Anatomy".
The interview appears in the November issue of Essence Magazine and tackles Clinton's fight for the black vote in a Democratic field that includes Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

... But it doesn't mean that as a guy you have to act on those opportunities.... But I do appreciate the attention. Great for the self-esteem.

Wendy: You're absolutely right. She stayed with him despite the fact that he's a philandering, unfaithful, scumbag of a husband. But, she didn't do it out of love for him or the relationship. She did to stay politically viable. Their conversation has to be that he owes her one when it's her turn to seek the WH. He agrees in order that she doesn't damage his seeking for a legacy. For the record: I don't midn ambition. In fact, I respect anyone who is ambitious. Where I draw the line, however, is when that ambition is at the expense of the people she claims to serve. There is no politician out there (either left or right) who is not self-centered. Once they get into office, they said they've arrived at heaven on earth. It's a joke for them to say they want to be public servants. Instead, we end up serving them and at the end of the day, we have to say "thank you" to them. Judy: You're right - I don't know the Clintons personally, and thank God I don't because from what I already know about them is enough for me to want to throw up. To know them personally might actually cost me my life!

Let's see - Republicans (S)elected a Moron for 2 straight elections; threw our country into a quagmire war
Posted by: T | Oct 23, 2007 1:29:18 PM
I'll take 2 dozen Hillary's over 1 brain dead Dumbya. I can't believe you 22% of the brain dead public who still supports this Moron can sit there and honestly criticize her for staying in her marriage. What is it that you say about Rudy 9/11ani?

Although I find divorce distasteful, I think people would have understood and in fact given Hillary a vote of confidence if she had left him. She would still get the sympathy vote today if she had left him. Fine, she can stay with him, but spare me the gushing! Not so soon after lunch!!
Posted by: Getalife | Oct 23, 2007 1:32:44 PM
Thanks, Andy, for verifying my original beliefs--it's all a facade--a ruse--to look all-American to the nation. I would have had more respect for her had she left him.
Posted by: Mark | Oct 23, 2007 1:36:31 PM
I don't doubt that Bill is romantic. There's lots of women who can make that statement about him. Well, not all of them might se the actually term "romantic".

All the Democrat bashers must be
millionaires..because they're the
only ones "W" cares about. If your not
a millionaire just ask yourself what
had G.W.Bush done for you? Scared about
"Socialized Medicine" OOOOh. Hillary
must be 8 feet tall and have razor sharp fangs and claws as afraid as the
right wing is of her...GREAT.

Usually when stories like this appear, it is a prelude to something unpleasant to be published. It was soon after that we found out about Monica. What could the big story be about this time?

That's what all his women say.

Can you say "intern"?

I think that a former Prez. should keep his mouth shut while his wife is running! Ha! Maybe she should run!
Posted by: Earl Williams | Oct 23, 2007 2:22:53 PM
If he is such a loving being then maybe the both of them should run the "Woodstock Museum," she tried to fund. After all like the woodstock tradition while they were at Yale they were not married!

I just have to say, this country was together for about a month or so and it was the most wonderful thing to see and be part of. 911 brought us together and 911 took us apart. But for the last 7 years, we as americans have made money spent money bought 2nd homes and lived a good life. Now you all want to tear apart the country, and bad mounth gwb, and any other person in office. Well guess what we put them thier and we have had a good life for 7 years. The war is somthing else and most of us have know clue about it so don't judge, its war, and if we new everything that was going on it would'nt be war.
One last thing, this country is all about money and who can make the most. From o.b to h.c so she can raise the most money and we our suppose to say well vote for her are vote foe him because they raise the most money. BS
A short story about money that most of you can understand. A toyota dealer in the LA area sold a car to a customer a mistake was made on the part of this dealer in the customers favor, So this dealership called the customer up and told him they made a bad mistake and would he bring back the car. Well the reason for this story is money. the public can be taken advanage of but a large corp and I mean the biggest toyota dealer in LA can over charge you and bost about it, but call you up to get back thier product to save a lose. This is what goverment is, make money on what ever they can but take away from you if they give to much.
A Real American

Hillary is the "Stand By Your Man" no matter how many times he cheats woman. Weak in character and a pushover. She ain't no country girl, no way!
Posted by: Bill | Oct 23, 2007 2:29:58 PM
Media wishes this was true; what a bunch of BS; no one buys it, not even the liberal media. Not even Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, Juanita Broderrick...goes on and on. The Chinesse may buy it, especailly those poor dishwashers in New York who are giving the Hillary Campaign thousands of dollars, more than they make.....
Posted by: No to Hillary in 2008 | Oct 23, 2007 2:42:03 PM
Bill: I don't know that I would classify Hillary as a pushover. She's "standing by her man" because there's something in it for her. As I said, many things can be said about Hillary including cunning, clever, calculating, devious, strategic, but pushover is not. I think about the feminists who criticized her for using him to get to the top - perhaps that's the only time I had ever agreed with the feminists!
Posted by: Getalife | Oct 23, 2007 2:43:17 PM
I lost all respect for her when Bill was caught with Monica. Like so many women in this country, she takes a beating (physically and mentally) and goes back for more. How can you trust someone that doesn't stand up for what is right? I can see us getting invaded when she is President, oh, thats OK, we have to forgive them. BS, get rid of her before she becomes a problem for all of US.
