Going home: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday after being treated for a blood clot

Republicans have been battering the Obama Administration and any officials associated with the September 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate, which killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

The Washington Post reports that Clinton 'remains committed' to appearing in front of the Congressional committees, though no date has been set.

The new House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, Rep Edward Royce, said the government accountability report on the attack points to 'an unacceptable failure of leadership' leading up to the attack.

Some Senate Republicans have threatened to block the confirmation of Sen John Kerry, Clinton's successor as Secretary of State, until Clinton testifies.

Clinton has long said she planned to leave the job as the nation's top diplomat after Obama's first term.

. Her physicians say she suffered no stroke or neurological damage as a result of the clot. She is expected to make a full recovery.

Clinton's illness led her to cancel an overseas trip and scheduled testimony before Congress about the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

When her absence was reported, several pundits and newspapers accused Clinton of making her illness seem worse than it was to dodge questions from lawmakers over the attack, which has been blamed on lax security installed by the State Department.

The New York Post called her concussion a 'head fake.' Florida Rep Allan West said Clinton had a case of the 'Benghazi flu,' while Fox News contributer Charles Krauthammer dubbed it an 'acute Benghazi allergy.'

That Webb Hubble thing was a slur against Hillary, not something that was ever the truth. From the first time I saw Chelsea as a child, she was obviously Bill’s child. As she got older she started looking more like Hillary, and then I think she had a little work done.
