Clinton: No interest in job if Obama wins in 2012

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday she does not want to stay in her job if President Barack Obama wins a second term in 2012. The nation's top diplomat also firmly said she neither has plans to mount another White House bid nor interest in other posts, such as vice president or defense secretary.

Clinton, visiting Cairo, was asked whether she would stay on in a second Obama term. She also was asked if she would like the jobs of president, vice president or defense secretary. She offered single word responses to each: "No."

Speculation about Clinton's future is always high and she has been mentioned as a possible successor to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who has told Obama he is stepping down. In an interview with CNN, Clinton made clear she has no interest in running the Pentagon or repeating her 2008 presidential run.

"You know, I had a wonderful experience running and I am very proud of the support I had and very grateful for the opportunity, but I'm going to be, you know, moving on," Clinton said. "I am doing what I want to do right now and I have no intention or any idea even of running again. I'm going to do the best I can at this job for the next two years," she said...

2. I think I understand how that feels.
Things just seem so much more difficult lately.

I hope things work out for the best for her, always liked Hillary, I think I had some issues with Bill, but shrug, I would guess those jobs are hard.

Best of wishes, and good luck on any endeavor she decides to take up. I think she does good as Secretary of State.

3. Good, time to retire and become a statesmen like your husband.
Can do more good that way and make a lot of money (which in turn pisses off the Repukes) which is good.

6. Who wants to take bets on her replacement? John Kerry, maybe?
I'm rooting for Wes Clark for Defense Secretary, but I imagine he would be good at either.

10. She'll only be 68 in 2016
and I think she still wants a shot at the top job, whether she's still Secretary of State or not.
