Hillary Clinton says Bill was subjected to South Africa-style hearings in order to work through his affair with intern Monica Lewinsky
"Hillary Clinton has revealed that she worked through her husband’s affair whilst he was President by making him go through an agonising 'truth and reconciliation' process.
The former US Secretary of State said that she forced Bill Clinton into South Africa-style hearings where he had to be completely honest before she forgave him.
She said she was inspired by the country's former leader Nelson Mandela and that she had to act otherwise she would remain in a mental 'prison' for the rest of her life...
She told Psychologies magazine: 'I’m inspired by the example of Nelson Mandela who led a country to a new future through forgiveness and reconciliation.
'It doesn’t mean that you forget - it’s truth and reconciliation. You have to be honest. You have to face the truth about whatever your situation, personally or nationally might be.
'But he (Mandela) has often made the point that if you carried bitterness and anger with you, you would remain in prison.
'You would, in fact, be imprisoning yourself and be unfair to yourself because you can’t get beyond what happened to you.’
202 years ago this week, First Lady Dolly Madison saved the famous portrait of George Washington from the White House during the War of 1812. If it happened today, Obama would probably save his golf clubs!~~FB comment
