Hillary Clinton said she may not run for president because the modern American presidency may just be too tough of a job.
Acknowledging to PBS's Charlie Rose that America's president must be both the head of state and government, Clinton said the job of being president "has only gotten harder" and it is now an "all-consuming commitment."
She said the president has to do "all of the symbolic and ritualistic aspects" of the job in addition to the "hard work of politicking, lobbying, governing, operating." She said that the "job has gotten more difficult" because all those roles, including dealing with Congress to pass legislation, are "all in one person."
"You've got to get the money from the Congress to really improve what you're doing, personnel policies, and all the rest," Clinton said. "So the job is as challenging as it's always been, but I would say almost to a degree of amplification that's hard to imagine."
Clinton said the presidency has gotten "bigger and even more difficult" in the modern media environment and added that she knew "so much about the job and how hard it is."

Yes, I was going to say the same thing.
Sounds like she is taking a jab at Obama.
Meme: Hillary Clinton is an old, stumbling drunk.
This is what they said after Carter. POTUS is too big for one man
And then came along The Big Boss Man Ronald Reagan who made it almost look easy
Meh
sounds way too hard
I'll go bake cookies.
Just read Newsmax poll and Ted Cruz crushed it with about twice as many votes as anyone else polled
Run Ted Run
She’s NOT a stumbling drunk. She’s a falling down drunk. How else would she have a concussion?
Meme: Hillary Clinton is an old, stumbling drunk.
Yep. And Jack Daniels is the only male in her life.
She has to run. The ‘rats don’t have anyone else.
And don’t say “Biden”. Even they know he’s a joke.
As opposed to back in Lincoln's day when it was much easier. Can we please call this horse' s ass the horse's ass she is, and not the smartest woman in the world?
No it isn't -- just look at Obama: Golf, fund-raising and vacation. A less than part-time job for that slacker.
But she ain’t no ways tarred.
She has to run. The rats dont have anyone else.
Andrew Cuomo, IMO.
“all-consuming commitment”.
Either she thinks being President is part-time work, or she is suggesting Obama is a part-timer. Regardless, what a stupid thing to say...hell yes being the leader of the free world should be an all consuming commitment.
Right. Notice she doesn’t mention that she’ll handle domestic and Bill will handle international. Just like the co-presidency they held before.
Just like Barry, lie about everything.
Either she thinks being President is part-time work, or she is suggesting Obama is a part-timer.
She probably anticipates that by the time she gets in there, Obama will have the dictatorship in place so she will only need to dictate her wishes.
She also suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, like O’Sunni.
