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."

That 51-plus% that ended her last trek to her coronation will line up against her again. There is a powerful faction in the Dem party that does not like the Clintons. Otherwise, Ms Inevitable would have been finishing HER second term
How would you like to go into combat with someone like this? No less, were she CIC.
Combat Fatigue, from pretending to be shot-up in Bosnia, no doubt.
No less she murdered at least one, possibly two or three of her coworkers.
She’s the one, alright...as in a police lineup.

I read the whole thing twice and never found the part where she said she wasn’t running because it was too hard. Sometimes I think the quality of the site has really gone downhill since Andrew Breitbart passed.
Did her nose fall off with that one? Did Rose laugh his @ss off?
I don’t think the job has changed considerably since slick Willie was in office. I think something is up here.
Why? Ubama didn't.
She is saying GOLFING is hard to learn at her age...
Defiantly above Her and 0’s pay grade Both could not run a daycare for 3year olds! Heaven forbid!
Did someone tell her that there was a lot of math involved in the job?
I stand by my prediction.
To boot, the Squaw Woman will not make it past the primaries if she decides to throw her feathered headpiece into the national camp grounds. No money, no organization, no experience, and all the charisma of an old maid librarian.

baloney. After Obama anyone can host SNL ... er I mean run the U.S. government.
In addition, obviously, to the recently established "right" of the president to perform the legislative functions that the Constitution reserves to... well the elected legislature!
It seems the American people just can’t get enough of lying poltiicians. They keep asking for more!
From an FR post more than a few years ago :
"Reminds me of a fascinating quote from a Chinese Com government rep during the "International Woman's Conference" held in China during the Clinton administration.
The government official said that they studied Hillary's speechmaking method to understand her power and success. They concluded: her trick was never actually to make any arguments -- just state conclusions that were all already accepted as self-evident by her audience. (They found that interesting and perhaps admirable, and to be emulated)."
I'm sorry, has she SEEN how many parties, vacations and tee times the Obamanation has enjoyed?
