I can not imagine how her daughter Cecile was feeling yesterday. The President quoted her Mother, Hillary re-quoted the President and her mother and those a-holes were indicted in Texas.

(15,365 posts)3. I still love Ann R.
Miss her and those like her soooo much.
She would be working her heart out for Hillary if she were here. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever about that.

She loved those Clinton kids.
I just found this from 2008.

when she gave this speech, remember "Poor George, he can't help it - he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.", it was a great line, she was a good governor also, lucky to have listened to her many times. She raised two great daughters, fighters, just like her.

Looks like your avatar was taken at the '88 Convention.

(16,104 posts)9. This started with the Politico interview of President Obama.
The truth is, in 2007 and 2008, sometimes my supporters and my staff, I think, got too huffy about what were legitimate questions she was raising, he admitted. And there were times where I think the media probably was a little unfair to her and tilted a little my way in calling her out.
In fact, he said, Clinton had a tougher job throughout that primary than I did.
She had to do everything that I had to do, except, like Ginger Rogers, backwards in heels, he said. She had to wake up earlier than I did because she had to get her hair done. She had to, you know, handle all the expectations that were placed on her.
Had things gone a little bit different in some states or if the sequence of primaries and caucuses been a little different, Obama added, she could have easily won.
