When I was reading this book and I read one thing after the other (about Bill's dalliances) I thought well when did he have time to govern? Truly, it made me wonder- this book read like "As The Bill Clinton Turns"-with that being said I couldn't stop reading it. When I got to the end or honestly before then long before the end I wondered just what would Hillary Rodham have become if she had not met Bill Clinton. It is interesting to me to ponder what this woman would have done if her heart had not been captured by Bill Clinton. Sure she may have married someone else but maybe she would have been one hell of a mover and a shaker in the front not the force behind the man. Her political life, her desires, the firsts I'm sure she would have accomplished would have been something to see. But marry Clinton she did and she made lemonade out of her lemons. Now I don't profess to be a head over heels Hillary Clinton fan. Not with the I don't know blind eye she applied to Bill and his extracurricular activities I mean how much is too much. One could make the argument there was Chelsea to think about but he was BUSY long before Chelsea showed up on the scene. In those days people stayed together longer through thick and thin and sometimes it would have been better to split the blanket. I mean why put up with a philandering husband when you are a bright, intelligent, resourceful, under 30 woman like Hillary Clinton? Why after so many times of coming to your husband's rescue against these "untrue" charges time after time do you not wonder if may be these charges are true? Do you sweep it under the rug over and over again? Do you turn your political and legal mind to destroying these women- I guess if you are Hillary you do. But what if she had been able to turn her sharp legal, political mind to her own ambitions, to follow her dreams. She would have been something. In the end Hillary LOVES Bill and I have always believed he loved her. Yes, even being the heel he was and hopefully not anymore. The marriage of these two is an interesting story but to me the story of Hillary Clinton sans Bill would have been to me monumental.
