"Deflated and disappointed, I wondered how much I was to blame for the debacle: whether we had lost the election over health care; whether I had gambled on the country's acceptance of my active role and lost. And I struggled to understand how I had become such a lightening rod for people's anger. Bill was miserable, and it was painful to watch someone I loved so much hurting so deeply" --- Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In her autobiography, "Living History", Hillary recalls how she and her husband President Bill Clinton felt on that night, in November 1994, when the Democrats lost control of both the House and the Senate to the Republicans. It was therefore most interesting to watch Bill and Hillary joyously celebrating the other night, when the democrats regained control over both the Houses of Congress, after a 12 year hiatus, during which Clinton himself had to wage many a battle with the Republican-controlled Congress including shut down of the Government thrice in 1995.
