Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Monday she wanted to see a female US president during her lifetime -- but insisted she was ready to "get off the high wire" of top-level politics.
"I hope so. I really want to see that in my lifetime," Clinton said during a town hall meeting at a girls school in India's Kolkata, when asked about the prospects of a woman taking America's top job for the first time.
Clinton praised India's "great display of women empowerment" due to the prominent role played by female politicians over the years but said that in the US "we still have a pretty hard glass ceiling that has not been broken at the presidential level."
The former First Lady and New York senator, who was beaten by President Barack Obama for the 2008 Democratic nomination, reiterated that she was not interested in another shot in 2016.
"I have been active in high-level politics for last 20 years. I feel it's time for me to get off the high wire," she said. "I would like to come to India and wander without streets being closed and a lot of security."

I’m sorry, Perdogg, but I don’t know who the pretty woman is in that picture. Hope she’s on our side.

Looking at that face would make a train take a dirt road.
Would knock a buzzard off a $hit wagon!
Holy Cow . . . literally! Imagine putting that back in the barn.

She’s lying.
She will jump at the chance to be the zer0’s VP with hopes of being elected/appointed in 2016.
Bet on it.

Wow! I'll bet she's got her hands full with our Injustice Dept.'s interpretation of what an illegal alien is. Lovely lady!

Still, if Barry’s poll numbers are tanking badly by July 4 the Dems might panic and throw her in there.

Someone said it looks like she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

No Hillary-prez is good news. If only I could believe it.
The thirst for power and control is not easily quenched.

I think this is a nice picture of Hillary. She looks just like the 60s radical that she is.

When I saw that picture of Hillary, I could hear Jack Nicholson’s voice saying “Wait’ll they get a load of me!”

Would this unprosecuted felon want Michelle Bachmann or Congoleesa Rice to be president? She would probably not have any problem with Condi.
They are both worthless incompetents who owe their success to affirmative action and pandering.
