In an interview to air at 8pm tonight on PBS's Tavis Smiley Reports, Hillary Clinton tells Smiley she does not envision serving as Secretary of State for a second term. She also tells Smiley she is "absolutely not interested" in another presidential run.(snip)
Clinton previously told the Washington Post's Glenn Kessler much the same thing: "Clinton said she loves being secretary of state, but conceded, 'It is a really hard job . . . a 24-7 job,' and 'I feel the weight of it pretty significantly.' Asked if she would be sitting in the same office for eight years, Clinton shuddered. 'Please! I will be so old,' she said with a shake of her head."

And...
If being Secretary of State is a tough job that she can't handle for 8 years...whatever made her think that she could be President?
I think she sharpening her claws for another go with the O.
Wait for the joke.....wait for iiiiiiiiiiit.....
She won’t last 4 years. They are all looking for a way out.
Good. Fade to black Billary. And tell your kid to stay out of the family practice as well.
Make no mistake, she’s not looking for a way out. She’s looking for a way UP. She is enjoying Obama’s failure immensely, because her run in 2012 will be “Don’t make the same mistake you made and not pick me.”
In every recent photo - she appears miserable, angry and bummed out. Not to mention how she has aged.
I don’t believe she will finish four years - much less eight.
And I don’t think she’ll run for POTUS. She and Bill can take their $billions of ill-gotten gains and live the high life....showing up and showing off.
JMHO
Howard Dean also sending signals that he intends to challenge Obama from the left in 2012.
You know, I’ve been in such shock for the last two years over 0 that I never wondered whether there would be a rat contender for prez against 0 in ‘12.
Since the precedent has been broken that only Governors run for POTUS, the mind boggles.
Oh, c'mon. Hillary is looking fantastic. Unstoppable hotness.
Be still my heart. This time would be better than the last time. ;-)
Of course it goes without saying that, as a proud Progressive and a Clinton, words mean whatever she wants them to at the moment she uses them, and nothing more.
She will decide whether or not to run after the mid-term election. Either way, she’ll leave DoS. My guess is if she doesn’t run for POTUS she’ll become a university president and sit on lots of corporate boards for lots of money.
Isn't it fascinating how virtually every one of these self proclaimed dedicated servants-of-the-little-man wind up filthy rich??
Agreed. If there's anything the Clintons know how to do it's scheme and protect their hides. IMHO she's reading the tea leaves and sees that Soetor0 is leading a train wreck. She wants to distance herself. Personally I wouldn't be shocked if she announces her resignation before the end of the first term.
"Bambi... FU"
I agree. I think this recent announcement is just setting the table for her resignation.
I’d rather be a mediocre Sec. Of State for one term than an absolute disaster for two terms.
I think she’s tired. Surely she could retire and have a pleasant life without all the stresses she now has.
