Hillary Clinton wants off the ‘merry-go-round’

By: Jennifer Epstein July 15, 2011 07:30 AM EDT

She’s in good health from yoga and exercise, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she’s tired by the “merry-go-round” of public life and ready to get off it for good at the end of President Barack Obama’s first term.

“I think that I am a pretty normal, average person, despite all of the hype,” Clinton said in an interview with the BBC conducted Thursday. “And I am very interested in spending time with my friends and my family and not being on the merry-go-round all the time.”

That, she said, is why she plans to “move on and return to private life at the end of what will be a very intense period of activity and work in the next 18 months.”

Clinton has made similar comments in several interviews this year, but this time they were unprompted, coming in response to a question about what the general public might not know about her.

Clinton said she never wakes up too tired to go to work, but instead says to herself, “I’m tired so I better get up and get going.”

“Every day is fascinating to me because I really don’t know what’s going to happen during the day,” she said. “I am very aware of how much energy this takes because, clearly, it’s a nonstop marathon. But let me knock on wood here, I have been lucky with health, stamina, and all that goes with it.”

Friends, she said, call and email her saying, “’Oh, my gosh, I saw you on television. You looked so tired.’ Which I send back saying, ‘Gee, thanks a lot.’”

While it makes sense (she failed to grab the brass ring) I still don’t believe her.

Ya, Hillary wants to retire and spend more time with family? With Bill? Is this satire or is this real?

Her satchell-ass is not exactly a model commercial to promote yoga and exercise. When she says certain words she connotes a meaning which is alien to the historical meaning of those wores.

It wasn’t a merry-go-round before your crew took over.

Nitwit.

Hillary Clinton will turn 64 this year and she may actually be looking to spend her remaining years enjoying her millions. Remember the 8 million dollar advance she received for her lame 2003 autobiography ('Living History')? Not to mention all the loot she and her felon husband managed to amass while in 'public service'. Although Hillary is definitely addicted to power and a good little Marxist to the core, we all slow down at some point and ambition wanes, especially when she already has the titles of Secretary of State and Senator on her resume. She can kid herself (and many others) that she is an accomplished woman without having any accomplishments except her titles that were the result of her ambition, and, most of all, the fact that she was married to a president. Hillary can do this while living in the kind of luxury she expects - and that her millions can purchase. On that basis, Hillary may be doing something extraordinary for a Clinton - telling the truth.

Hearing yoga and Hillary in the same sentence makes me want to throw up.

I simply do not believe a word that comes out of her mouth. She has been a user, an opportunist, and an enabler for her entire adult life. She did not get to where she is on her own. It was, of course, through Bill.

She twists the truth, and lies to get what she really wants. She tried to cover up her husband's behavior, and she lied until she was finally cornered. She ran for office in New York only to use the position as a stepping stone. She treats underlings with disrespect, and fancies herself more as a queen who must be served than a politician whose role is to serve.

Just like her other convenient and self-serving lies, this one is transparent, and laughable. Hillary loves being on the merry-go-round catching the ring at every rotation. She craves the attention, and she savors the power.

So, she thinks we are all naive enough to believe her when she says she wants to retire from the fast pace of public life. Will she then be baking those cookies?

Hind sight is 20-20 but I wish now that I had voted in the rat primary, not that my vote would have changed a thing but Hillary, bad as she is, would have been better that obama.

One of Hillary’s Secret Service monikers when she was First Thing was “The Flying Buttress”.

(An architectural term applied to medieval cathedrals)

BTW, I’ve lost any envy I might have had for the rich & powerful if they consist of hideous cows like this one.

I know it’s like choosing death by hanging or electrocution but are we happy that Obama’s PC election kept the Clintons from returning to the WH?
