Ya'll gotta forgive me this morning, please. I am tired and I am drained and I am heartsick over the Clintons. [View all]

First of all, I love Bill and Hillary both. I have never felt better and more safe and secure in my life than when Bill Clinton was president. Hillary has an intellect that few people can even imagine having.

But why did they make an issue of testifying publicly and then agree to do it in private? Rhetorical question. I know they were up against threats and I know that Bill is trying to set a precedent of former Presidents complying with Congress.

But I wanted them to hold out. I wanted them to refuse. I wanted them to stand strong.

Am I the only one who feels this way? I will gladly listen to and consider valid arguments against my feelings.
