Former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Monday he would have preferred to leave the White House in a coffin because he loved being commander in chief, but signaled his political life is over.
"It's good that we have a (term) limit. Otherwise I would have stayed until I was carried away in a coffin. Or defeated in an election," Clinton said at a conference in Istanbul. "I loved doing the job."

I hope Bill Clinton goes out with a smile on his face like Nelson Rockefeller...not screaming and crying like Megan Marshack.
Poignant and frightening bit of psycho self-analysis. Seems he could not imagine life without political power. How sad.
Yep, she probably would have run in 2000 and picked up the sympathy vote.
Who edits these stories?
The headline infers he wanted to die while in office.
The actual story is about how much he loved the job, did not want to leave office and wished he could have stayed until it was time to leave in a coffin.
Ah, a quote from one of the biggest “progressives” ever. T.R. Not the great President I once thought. He started a lot of the problems we have today.
Exactly, It wasn’t doing the job that he loved it was the perks that come with being CIC.
Right now, we're dealing with zero trying to do the samer thing and I think X42 is jealous.
These guys are all alike ... they're trying to kill America.
Nevermind the coffin, he should have been taken from the White House in a STD-quarantine pod.
God help me, but given the current crowd infesting the WH, I even miss the Clinton Administration....
I agree, Bill was too busy having a good time. However, Hillary was very ideological and he obviously did a lot of her leftist bidding. Still, I didn’t think he hated this country the way Obama does. About Hillary, I’m not sure.
I’m exercising self-censorship at its finest.

I think she would have thrown us under the bus, but she got quashed early during Bill’s adm. when health care tanked. Had she been elected instead of Obama, I don’t think it would be as bad as what we have now, but we’d have had to watch it closely as she would have had many of the same advisors and henchmen. Still hard to believe she used to be a Republican...
Liberal visions of dictatorships, monarchies, dynasties, and presidents with unlimited tenure......
Thank you. :o)
