View original postI.am not even sure Americans under the age forty can understand how those of us whip can remember her as first lady feel about her. Or dislike for her is old and deep.

And some of the more trivial things we hear as objections against her - the attempts to keep using her maiden name, the comments in defense of her career and (arguably) against women staying at home - are a lot less controversial here - even in the nineties.

As for the most serious scandals, those were largely depicted as witch-hunts of the Republicans against her husband, I have to say - fairly or not. I was a young teenager at the time of the Lewinsky scandal (the earlier ones were entirely too long ago for me), and I vaguely recall how Kenneth Starr and the like were demonized, while people generally felt Clinton was unfairly persecuted.

Of course, that also explains how us foreigners (whose opinion, for that particular position, should kind of count for a lot) can think of her as a solid Secretary of State while conservative Americans somehow figure she was a total disaster.
