Hillary Clinton reflects on her mom in memoir
Hillary Clinton offers some deeply personal recollections about her late mother in her upcoming book, exploring how Dorothy Howell Rodham overcame a childhood “marked by trauma and abandonment” while maintaining a strong desire to do good in the world.
The reflections were excerpted in Vogue magazine for Mother’s Day, and they are the first elements of Clinton’s book, which is titled “Hard Choices” and due out June 10, to be made public. The book’s rollout comes as Clinton is mulling whether to run again for the presidency in 2016.
The section of the book is from Chapter 25, POLITICO’s Mike Allen reports, a tome Clinton wrote mostly at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. And while the news coverage of the book ahead of its release has focused largely on what she will say about her record as secretary of state, Clinton — who was criticized as difficult to connect to during the 2008 presidential race — is clearly planning to reveal a more personal side.
It’s really a shame that the only Mother that mattered yesterday was the mother of the presumptive democrat candidate for President in 2016.
Does she mention that her parents were Goldwater supporters in ’64 and that she, herself was a “Goldwater Girl”?
Didn’t think so.
I appreciated Hillary’s attempt to pull ”religion,” into her narrative.
She actually said that HER version of religion is ”the ends (lying, stealing, even killing) justify the means” of her being empowered to ”do good” for some imaginary groups of constituents.
Sure, Hillary! wrote this “autobiography.”
Sure…
