(Hillary) Clinton Says She Has No Interest in White House
ABC News / AP ^ | July 26, 2009

Hillary Clinton says 'no, never' to another White House bid, then leaves tiny crack in door

There is apparently no such thing as a simple yes or no when it comes to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and questions about another run for the White House.

Clinton, 61, seemed to go further Sunday than she had previously in shutting the door to another presidential campaign, following her defeat for the Democratic nomination last year by President Barack Obama.

"Well, you know, I say no, never, you know, not at all. I don't know what, what else to say," Clinton said on NBC's "Meet the Press" after host David Gregory noted that she left some wiggle room in an interview last week in Thailand.

But then Gregory followed up by asking, "Are you saying you wouldn't entertain another run?"

Clinton's response was less clear:

Suspicious timing on this story as their scumbag sinks solidly into the 40’s in popularity. Move along, all is well in Obamaland, nothing to see here, our fearless leader will be with you forever.

Maybe she’s on the level. Have you seen how big her a$$ has gotten lately? Doesn’t make for very presidential photos.

She’s tainted by Obama. And she has not much chance now. An interesting thing that many democrats dont get is how much the young hate her. The adults remember her being cheated on, can prattle on about her as first lady in Arkansas, about her college days, about her working for the team that went after Nixon, etc.
The young democrat voter today,,was 8 or 9, or younger, when she mattered.

To them shes another boring 60 year old windbag. She’s done.

Message received in the Obama camp. When his popularity starts to recede, Presidential bid questions to Hillary come up. Look for her power to increase greatly within the admin. in an attempt to keep her happy.

In honesty, Obama got elected because Hillary and McCain were both soundly rejected by the voters. She may try but she’s done.

Yep. To the younger voters she's just an aged, dumpy, dour, stale relic of the previous century. Image is everything and that is hers.

I wonder why the question about her running for pres. in the future was even asked. Barring the most unforseen circumstances, Obama runs for re-election in ‘12, leaving Hillary and other Dems. to think about 2016 and the future. Isn’t that way too far down the road to think about now?

Has anyone noticed she is ‘back in the spotlight’ and where is her cast for her elbow? Looks like she has had her eyes and neck done instead? Anyone else catty and bitchy notice this? Looking closely at her this morning on some Sunday talking/screaming show, I thought I detected blue under the white undereye coverup makeup. Of course does not need the cast anymore if the eyes/neck are good for public scrutiny?
No detectable rooster chin and only a small roll of smooth skin on the neck. No gigantic bags under the eyes.

She won't run for the presidency; she'll be appointed or perhaps be ushered in via succession. It, you know, depends, you know, on the, you know, meaning of is. ;-)

Clinton Says She Has No Interest in White House

She said the same thing when she ran for the NY Senate seat. She loved NY too much to want any other job.
Oh no, she said she wasn't using the voters of NY as a stepping stone to the White House. No way. All she cared about was life in NY. What a gal!

If the crack that Hillary left in the door was tiny, then it couldn’t possibly be HER crack.

For 8 years, it was obligatory to ask that very question of her in every interview.

Now that the Black Knight is accumulating some rather wide chinks in his empty armor, the possibility of the Kenyan seeing more than 4 years is dimming. And the shrews ego will never allow her quit "wanting" to be President.

My husband was right about her running for president the first time. I did not think she would run at all because she is so unlikeable. When she was running last year I got so many surveys about her chances of winning, if you like her or not etc etc. I have never seen anything like it in my life. She must really live and breathe polls. They would even sneak it in on product surveys. I would be doing a long one about a new product and then they would slip in, ‘Do you think hillary will win?’ and then right back to the other questions LOL.

It's got to be the lamest question an interviewer can ask...

What's the person suppose to say, "I've got a cyrstal ball and can see exactly how I'll feel 8 years from now..."?

Running for President has a zillion factors to consider - who else is running - what are the chances - what's my family life like - is there fire in the belly...

Journalist who ask that question 4 to 8 years out should be fired.

I seem to remember hillary saying that if the good people of New York re-elected her to the Senate she promised not to leave until her full term in office was up.

Yeah, right.

The only question in my mind is, “Who will prove to be the better Machiavellian, hillary or barry?”

Because there’s no question that each of them wants power, and each of them plans to bury the other so they can have and hold it.
