At a lifetime achievement ceremony, Obamas former secretary of state defended his policy toward Israel but went also gave verbal support to the Jewish State many have complained her old boss did not.
Dinner at the American Jewish Congress gala at Cipriani in midtown Manhattan was a thick slick of brisket covered in gravy. The cut was nearly as thick as the encomiums delivered from the dais to Hillary Clinton, the recipient of the evenings lifetime achievement award.
You have impacted the lives of people on every continent, in every nation, wrote Leonard Blavatnik, a wealthy Ukrainian industrialist and another honoreem in letter read from the nostrum.
Thank you Hillary, for reminding me to step forward, said another honoree, Iranian-born socialite Nazee Moinian.
Secretary Clinton has been a hero of mine for decades, and I thought how on earth could I do her justice in just a few introductory remarks, said the actress Julianna Margulies, who, in her introductory remarks, traced Clintons lineage to her grandmother and great-aunt, the first two women to graduate from New York University law school.

The question that continues to follow Clinton, however, as she enjoys her State Department retirementwhether, and when she would announce a run for presidentremained unanswered, although Jack Rosen, the American Jewish Congresss president and a friend of the Clintons since their Arkansas days, noted at one point that perhaps a lifetime achievement award was premature.
(Before the event, Rosen, a major donor to Democratic causes, told The Daily Beast: I dont know whether she will or she wont, but I know that she is preparing to run.)

An affair is a consensual relationship between two people. Get your story straight.
