(Hillary) Clinton: 2016 decision (to run for president) will come next year
The Hill ^ | December 19, 2013 | Mario Trujillo

Posted on 12/19/2013 9:08:23 PM PST by Zakeet

Hillary Clinton said she would look carefully at running for president in 2016 and decide sometime next year.

In an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters, the former secretary of State said she has still not made up her mind about a second run for the White House.

"Obviously, I will look carefully at what I think I can do and make that decision sometime next year,” she said.

Clinton, who has made similar comments in the past, is widely expected to run for president, and early polling has shown her with a large advantage in the Democratic primary.

Clinton said she is in no hurry to decide, adding that the public should be focused on current issues, like lowering the unemployment rate and increasing food stamps.

“It's such a difficult decision, and it's one that I'm not going to rush into ... and I don't think we should be looking at the next election," said Clinton, named by Walters as the most fascinating person of the year.

Clinton added that it is important to see a female president in her lifetime.

The World's Smartest Woman also thinks that if she wins, her very special Bubba will be known as the First Mate ... cause that's what he's tries to do to every female that gets within 10 yards.

She looks like she’s nursing a painful hangover in that picture.

It’s unbelievable to me that I’m actually kind of rooting for cancer.

Lets run Ted Cruz against Hillary and see what happens. The country’s politics and biases would be laid bare. Civil war could be a consequence.

John Kerry, who still desperately wants to be President, still thinks Hillary will flame out and he will get another chance. Never before has a Secretary of State logged so many miles and photo ops (while accomplishing virtually nothing useful). Hillary might have a few problems. Eventually someone will ask her to define her sexuality. There will be no good way for her to answer. Also she will be asked to list her three greatest accomplishments in public life. Then again being the vapid, lesbian consort of an impeached adulterer is exactly what it takes to get the Democratic nomination and possibly elected in today’s decadent culture.

It will take something outside of politics to stop her from being the first woman President. She is as close to being a lock as any Presidential candidate running for the first time could be. When you look at the number of electoral votes any Dem candidate starts with, it is hard to see her being defeated no matter what the condition of the country is.

I thought she looked like she just turned on a “device” using a clapper. She is probably waiting until after the next elections to gauge how pissed off the American people are with demonrats.

She unquestionably needs a hair wash and Botox. Probably could use a bath, deodorant, dental work, and new eyeglasses. Old Crusty could almost certainly use a boiling and some bug spray. But you got to admit ... she's still just as gorgeous and sexy as ever.

She will need photoshop, botox, plastic surgery and a serious lower body diet.

Visualize: Huma in the White Hut, her hubby (remember him?) as the Secretary of, uh, let us say, State.

Mrs. Bill Clinton will soon have to make major Presidental Campaign decisions.

The obvious on is whether or not to wear a bright blue suit, as the above image tends to make her fingers take on a subtle Benghazi red shade.

Another decision is whether or not she will use her maiden name “Rodham” in her campaign signs.

Aging basketball star, and soon to be North Korea’s Head Olympic Basketball Coach, Dennis Rodman is concerned that the similarity of his last name and Hilly’s rmaiden name might seriously jeopardize the goodwill that Mr. Rodman has been so successful in establishing with the petulant child leader of North Korea.

Both Dennis and Hilly have denied any blood relation, even though their names are so similar.

Good thinking. I like your ‘demonrats”.

I’d bet the Benghazi families will start a Swift Boat type campaign if she runs. I’ll contribute.

Hillary is just marking time in seeing how far Obamas numbers will fall and if there is anyway a democrat will be able to run for president and not get laughed out of town. Its all about the numbers and dem popularity.

I can see it now, a telephone ringing in a dark room with a voice saying “ the 3 A.M. call came but no one was there to answer and then cut to hitlary partying in some foreign country.

I’d be right there with you.

I will work myself to the bone to educate anyone who I can reach, all about the evils of hillary. I will be involved with every group that is above board in teaching the masses about the evil heartless twit.
