Hillary: I Stayed With Bill to Save America
At last it can be told.
The mystery of why New York Sen. Hillary Clinton was willing to sacrifice her self-respect and her dignity to stay in a humiliating marriage to ex-President Clinton is a mystery no longer.
She did it to save America.
In her book "Living History," Mrs. Clinton recalls that after she learned about Monica Lewinsky, "I knew what I did and said in the next days and weeks would influence not just Bill's future and mine, but also America's."
"Bill's Presidency, the institutional Presidency and the integrity of the Constitution hung in the balance," Hillary recalls, as she fretted over what to do.
Meanwhile, Bill had his hands full dealing with the gravest national security threat in the nation's entire history. No, not Osama bin Laden.
Writes Hillary, "If men like [Ken] Starr and his allies could ignore the Constitution and abuse power for ideological and malicious ends to topple a President, I feared for my country."
If that were actually the case...America wouldn't be worth saving!
