You begin to understand why Bill needed contact with someone real, whatever the danger......Hillary never took her eyes off the goal - personal power - the ultimate revenge is that she will try to make herself look superior to Bill, and all the women who crossed his path - a real, nyah nyah nyah nyah NYAH!

Monica certainly looks nicer than Hilary.

Women usually don't ask themselves what was their contribution to infidelity.

MARK KLEIN, M.D., OAKLAND, CA

For better, for worse. . .'til death do us part. Does anyone remember those words?

The best evidence of the strenght of the Clinton marriage is Chelsea.

R McPherson, Palm Springs, California

A female president of the USA is an exciting possibility. Can't wait to see the day. It will be special to see how she does, so she has my complete support. Folks I know in the USA say no way America is ready for this, so here is hoping she is given the chance.

CS, Auckland,

It is none of the world's business what kind of private turmoil the Clintons had in their marriage. The facts at the time spoke louder than words could imply: the economy was better, we were not engaged in some inane unnecessary war over oil, and our reputation in the world was intact.
I for one would like to see all of the above repeated, with Hillary at the helm!!

mary burgess, austin, TX USA

Bill Clinton's indicretions and Hillary's comments on it is a question on many minds. It is not a question that wants to be answered. It is very personal and very private. Their marriage and family is their business. I still think they are exceptional people who have had personal problems that they've been able to weather. And who can still conduct their business well. I wish the best for Hillary Clinton.

So long as the prezident and other elected politicians owe a debt of gratitude etc etc to the people who put them into office, it doesn't really matter who wins the votes.. because its the rich corporations who will own them through lobbying and campaign donations.

george, washington, state

Hilliary is a seasoned politican, who will do whatever it take s for votes. After crying in New Hampshire and seeing that it worked with women, not she is playing the infideity card. As as person who has lived that pain, I now how it hurts...but I can not be suckered in to voting for someone who tries to play on my sympathy.

We need new leadership... Go, OBAMA!!!!

Gail, dayton, oh

Mrs Marian Oakley-- I agree, beats me too. Now every time someone verbally 'attacks' her Bill stands up to make a speech in her defense. Is she capable of running the office by herself or not? I think not- her husband has to come to her rescue every time.
She simply knew where her bread was buttered. She made trade-offs that suited her. That was her main motivation.Nothing she does is spontaneous, it is all calculated to the nth degree.
She is not a woman with small children who is dependent in every way on her husband. She had plenty of choices.If she was Mrs Suburban Housewife she would have kicked him into touch a long time ago

Barack Obama "looks" good but has little experience in what will be the most challenging economic times since the Great Depression. America has an incredible national debt of some $9,187,584,466,089.71 as of January 17th, 2008 (Source: US Treasury http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/NPGateway).

In addition to this Mr. Obama would have to face a current account deficit of just over $190 billion dollars in the second quarter of 2007 (Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis - URL too long)

Taken together, the US National Debt and the current account deficit constitute the largest financial liability and fiscal outflow in history. Perhaps we would better off judging candidates by their competence to solve these problems (plus healthcare, Social Security, climate change, mortgage crisis e.t.c.) instead of wondering whether they are crying "crocodile tears".

It will be our tears that will flow if we elect an inexperienced or incompetent president this year. T

Andre, Machias, USA

Yeah. How about we torment a woman for the misdeeds of her husband. I think that's a great idea. Forget that Hillary took vows to stand by her husband through better or worse. For that matter, forget that we have all made mistakes in our lives. Let's judge the true victim of circumstance. Let's do it publicly. After all, we're better than she is.

I am appalled by the comments I read/hear by "holier than thou" people who clearly have self esteem sitting on the bottom of the ocean. It's sad, people.

This woman has stood the trials of life and has held on to her dignity through it all. I haven't heard one other candidate genuinely express his concern for the state of our country as humanly and as adamantly as our former First Lady. What I love about Hillary is her everlasting belief that our society can be changed... can be made better, by working the system. I think it's about time we elect someone other than an honorary member of the "good 'ol boys' club."

Nickie, Oakland, CA

I remember seeing an interview with the Clintons during Bill's run for the White House with Hillary staunchly defending her husband against the allegations coming from Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, et al about Bill's impropriety. Her mannersims at the time suggested to me she was more interested in the fame and trappings of being first lady and was privately prepared to accept anything Bill had done if it meant her goal was achieved. The Lewinsky scandal merely confirmed it when she again stood by him.

Naked ambition. Thinking folks will see straight through her.

Kris, Auckland, New Zealand

I found extremly amusing that just now, in this ocasion, Mrs Clinton decides to talk about all this.
Why is Hilary talking about this now? It is pure politics...just naive people cant see it.

Dani Major, Lisbon,

Mrs. Clinton is a perfect picture of marital masochism and petrification of the heart. She bought into the psychobabble of the 70s that infidelity does not show a profound disrespect for one's spouse. "Bill’s love for me?” The man loves self-gratification above all else, including above his marital vows, his care for his wife and his responsibilities as a father. From all this, Hillary's judgment is revealed as seriously deficient.

E Foster, Rockford, USA,

Lisa from Bradford, why would you think that Hillary gives a damn about America, or "the world"? All she is after is satisfying her ambition.

Alexandra, New York, NY

Well she chose the well publicised "incident" but she should have been quite used his "dalliances" after all the others that were not publicised. She is cynically using crocodile tears and emotions in Their campagne-------how can the Americans consider this hard boiled woman who made a complete mess of a post given to her in her husbands presidency. She will be the front to Clinton again and if the Americans cant see this they deserve them.

Mrs Marian Oakley, Abbeyfeale Limerick, Eire

I feel for her(but not that much!)

HD, WsM, UK

If I live in US i will vote for Hilary like I did in UK for Margaret Thatcher. She is the best candidate in the white house race, with experience, sound political judgement, The world will be a better place with a female super power leadership.

Come on people vote Hilary

Lisa, Bradford, United Kingdom

Is it not obvious to all that Hillary's supposed heart-baring prose is simply regurgitating the 'wounded victim' syndrome, a blatant vote-buying pitch to divorcees everywhere.
It remains to be seen how succesful her ploy is deemed in the inevitable autopsey over the next month.
As with her 'crying' episode recently, I genuinely believe her cynical tatics will be recognised and dismissed by the voters - but who knows?
regards from China, where many watch with interest.

Paul Webster-Hughes, Weifang, Shandong, China

What a surprise that Hilary is playing the emotion card once again...

Isabelle, Cambridge,

Hillary is the one.

magda, montevideo, uruguay

I really think Monica Lewinski, resembles Hillary when she was young, I can say one thing that Monica looks lovely what a smile, I don't know if she is smilling in the Picture about the money she made from her book, or the fact she is famous for bringing down a President. One thing is sure President or common folkes when it come to it they all have the same desire as the rest of us mortals. I can remember when Mr Bill Clinton said, I never had Sexual intimacy with Monica Lewinski, if fact when you get caught why own up, they say never admit any thing even if you are caught red handed.

I think it's a good idea to get the cobweds down, before they get too big. Just incase it come's up again. Bill was not lying when he said he never was intimate with this young intern because it depends on what is seen as intimacy. It's good when a woman can stand her ground, and defend her Husband's every move, it is not a reason to quit. Mrs Clintons new fame as possible President, CHANGES possible

Daphne Kenward, Cambridge, United Kingdom

This is the road to victory.

Hou, Sanhe, China

What about Bill's thirty other affairs over time that weren't national news. Do those bother her at all?

Mike Manning, Knoxville, Tennessee

Is this part of Hillary's valuable experience? That her husband cheated on her?

This, I suppose, is the latest reach on her part to women to say, I understand your pain. Why not? The crying seemed to work in New Hampshire.
