Hillary Clinton Finally Talks About Bill's Affair

For the first time since the scandal, Hillary Clinton is opening up about her husband Bill's affair and how it rocked their marriage.

The presidential hopeful talked candidly on "The Tyra Banks Show" about Bill's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

"I never doubted Bill's love for me ever, and I never doubted my faith and my commitment to our daughter and our extended family," she told Tyra in an episode that airs Friday.

She continued, "I really had to dig down deep and think hard about what was right for me, what was right for my family."

But did she struggle with feelings of humiliation?

"The momentary feelings-- you know, you are mad, you are really upset, you are disappointed - all of that goes through your mind." she said. "I have found you really shouldn't make decisions in the heat of those moments."

But what does she say to critics who blast that she should have left him?

"I say you have to be true to yourself," Clinton said. "No one story is the same as any other story. I don't know your reality. I can't possibly substitute my judgment for yours. You have to do what is right for you and that may not be what anybody else believes."

I am all for Hillary. She has my vote. What went on between her and her husband, is their business…not ours.

If anyone at this time would vote for another republican for a while needs a head check. When Bill was in office at least we had a good economy ,we weren’t headed for a recession and stuck in a war that should never had been started. We have a brainless wonder in office now and look at how many non smart people voted for him again. Hillary is the only one at this moment that I would vote for and that has nothing to do with whether or not she stayed with Bill, that is personal. I think this country needs to think on what is best for this country and getting us back to an even keel, regardless whether the leader is female, black, bald or fat as long as they can get us the hell out of this mess we have been led into. How can we terroris the rest of the world if we can’t even stay a float.

Communism- A doctrine and program based on revolutionary Marxian socialism …
as a relentless class war…in the victory of the proletariat and establishment of the dictatorship. A classless society. Syn: socialism
THAT IS YOU COMRADE HILARY.
Russians have said, what ruined Russia was the unions and liberals.
If America is so bad, according to you, why don’t you leave.

Hillary will say Or do anything to get elected ! She has had her eye on this since Before Bill was elected ! Now trying to re-gain the sympathy vote by visiting Tyra-she is demeaning herself, bringing this up “poor me” Again !W/the Clinton’s legal know-how & their political machine— every word or action on her part is to be carefully scrutinized ! We dealt w/Bill ruining the White House— do we want Another go-around w/them??

I think Hillary is a wonderful person who is intelligent, strong, brave and committed. I will vote for her. She is the reason I became a democrat.

Hillary is a liar and a hypocrite, she is more of a danger to the american people than any foriegn source. She is only in it for what she can take to the bank.

I think EXTRA is shamelessly plugging their candidate of choice. It’s quite manipulative and obvious.

When you have Republican and other Democratic candidates represented, then you will show you’re not just providing an “entertainment” platform for Hillary to drag out any and every story necessary to draw an audience.

How low can she can go? Give me a break. When all else fails, drag out the mistress sympathy vote…

Every night there is pro-Hillary story on Access Hollywood or Extra or ET. What is the deal? Please stop trying to push her on us. Enough.

I could never vote for someone who can’t even run an ethical campaign. Her distortions, evasions and dirty campaign tactics make her unworthy of serious consideration. And watching Bill meltdown in public every day is a national disgrace.

yes we will support hilary to make history as the first women president because she is an intelligent brilliant and is the most quailified for the job. She will represent all the people United States. I can see that Obama will bring change in the fact he is the first black president but when he gets to the office what else is he going to bring he has no promises other than change while Hilary will fight for universal healthcare.

Vote for Hillary? You bet I will!!!! She will be a great president. She is better than any of the shmucks that have thrown their hat’s into this race. Their is not one man running that I would trust to get us out of this mess the idiot president we have now got us into. Did HE have ANY idea’s when he came into office besides paying of his cronies? You can bet he has made all of them richer.
The good old boy machinery is at work trying to tear her down every chance they get. Any woman who votes for a man in November should be ashamed of themselves. The men have made a mess of things long enough, and we, the women, have enabled them long enough.

Can we count on Hillary judgements,I don’t think so and not because she a women and not afraid to show emotions,But What will Happen If she wins and Bill’s there with her?He’ll have a house full of interns to play with while Hillary working are will she be working on the country problem or worried what her cheating husband is doing?You Know she’ll Have to wonder all the time.And I think she’s lying,I believe she would have left Bill along time ago if she hadn’t had dreams of this office even back then.With all that’s going on we need a leader with their mind focus.

I along with a few others wouldn’t vote for her and won’t be voting for her..

I didn’t like her when her husband was President.. To the person that stated about the tears in NH - I changed the channel - I can’t watch her at all…Hence I think you all get it - I live in NH

She’s a fake and a phoney, I think that she back peddles with whatever she has campaigned about (today it’s this, tomorrow it’s something else) why do we need someone like that running the country?

The Democrats don’t have a tough act to follow. Hillary seems to be a lot more candid than she was at the beginning of her campaign. I though her interveiw about the Lewinsky Affair was brave. More power to her.

Hillary Clinton WILL SELL HER SOUL to get that vote: whatever it takes, she will do. It is no coincidence that she appears on a black woman talk show to discuss her marriage issues at the eve of South Carolina caucus: an issue she silenced until she found a way to use it to her advantage. Her underhanded tacics turns my stomach.

Hillary is a big scam artist, and like most Democrats, preaches the line to “take care of people” but practices the opposite. She is one big hipocrit

If Hillary’s lips are moving… she’s lying. She’s a professional liar. She and Bill made lying a way of life while in the White House. How many of us non-elitist liberals could get away with the stunts they pull? I think the only repercussion they suffered was Bill being disbarred in Arkansas.

Hillary. What can you say about Hillary. She is out for what ever shre can get. She does not care about the people. All she cares about is her self. I would not vote for her for dog catcher. If you really look at her and what she has done you would not vote for her either. The tears, what a joke. Can you see her dealing with the terrorist with a tear in her eye because she is exhausted… LOOK OUT USA. If she gets in we are in BIG trouble. The frist one that can stand up and say they will fix our government first would get my vote. Once the government is fixed then they can help the people. Our government gets more than we do. Think about what they get when they retire and think about what we get when we retire. Fix the government and you fix AMERICA. Hillary will not fix anything accept her future.
