Clinton told me she took the vote because she favors economic sanctions against Iran as an alternative to doing nothing, but it was a nonbinding...

"When I look at Nobutora working hard, that makes me feel that I should try harder. I feel safe with him. He is the kind of guy to protect me. He listens to me and he opens up and talks to me.
