Clinton: No interest in job if Obama wins in 2012

– Wed Mar 16, 7:04 pm ET

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday she does not want to stay in her job if President Barack Obama wins a second term in 2012.

The nation's top diplomat also firmly said she neither has plans to mount another White House bid nor interest in other posts, such as vice president or defense secretary.

Clinton, visiting Cairo, was asked whether she would stay on in a second Obama term. She also was asked if she would like the jobs of president, vice president or defense secretary. She offered single word responses to each: "No."

...
"You know, I had a wonderful experience running and I am very proud of the support I had and very grateful for the opportunity, but I'm going to be, you know, moving on," Clinton said.

1. So she'll only stay if there's a Republican Admin.?

I'm confused.

2. It is kind of odd...but then it came from the "AP"

3. Many cabinet members leave after 2years. Cabinet Posts esp.

Sec. of State is demanding and Hilary probably wants
to have some time to really enjoy life.

4. She'll kick Romney's ass in the nominations

and run for Pres as a Republican:popcorn:

5. What a piece of crap!

6. I can think of several reasons why she said this

1. The obvious - she's really tired.
2. Biden may be looking to step aside, and the administration may want her for VP.
3. She might be tapped to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Anthony Kennedy, should one of them choose to retire.
4. The economy is bad - maybe Bill needs her to go back to practicing law, or something else that pays real money.

7. #3 is an interesting thought.
