Hillary Clinton: Secretary of State is "My Last Public Position"

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has once more reiterated that she will not run for president in 2012, going so far as to refer to her current role in government as "my last public position."

At a town hall meeting appearance in Manama, Bahrain on Friday, Clinton denied intentions to run for either president or vice president on the ticket with President Obama, who defeated her in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. Some experts have also speculated that she could replace Robert Gates next year when he retires as secretary of defense.

"I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position," she said. Clinton's career has included not only her current position as secretary of state, but also eight years in the Senate representing New York.

Clinton has repeatedly laughed off rumors that she may seek the highest office in the country, and she was notably out of the country during the midterm elections when Democrats lost control of the House.

When her current position is over, Clinton "would like to continue working to improve lives for others," she said, adding that she will "probably go back to advocacy work, particularly on women and children and probably around the world." This marks the first time Clinton has publicly discussed alternatives to political office in her future.

I’m wondering what the next Wikileaks release is going to be about. Will the Hildebeast take her political aspirations being stolen repeatedly by Obama lying down?

Praise God! Now if Obama would just step down with plugs and stretch and dingy. We’d be in much better shape.

The thought of losing to Sarah Palin is more than her fragile ego could take.

Well, “Czarina” is, technically, a private position.

I hear church bells. And a perfect snow is falling outside my window.

Not really, I’m in Texas. And I don’t believe her.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a lying slag. I will believe she’s done with politics when she’s lowered into the crypt at The Double-Wide and not a minute before.

NOTHING she or her consort SAYS or DOES is not undertaken without a considerable amount of premediation and plotting and generally can be assumed to depend on the meaning of the word “is”.
