Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said she would not serve a full eight years if President Barack Obama wins another term, hoping eventually to retire to writing and teaching. Clinton, who has spent two decades in the national spotlight and narrowly lost her own bid to be president in 2008, said she enjoyed her job as the top US diplomat but found it physically grueling.
Asked by talk-show host Tavis Smiley if she would serve eight years, she replied: "No, I really can't."
"The whole eight -- that would be very challenging," she said in the interview broadcast Wednesday on public television.

well good riddance, but think of the self-contradiction, unless she only wanted to be POTUS for one term (which is hard to believe)

that is quite “interesting” to say the least......
If Obama gets his ass kicked out of office in 2012 you won’t serve 8 years Crusty.
I am not sure that Hillary has the intellectual stamina is requires to be POTUS. Ever!

I give her another year in the cabinet. She’ll leave after the midterm elections.
Based on his track record, I predict Scott Ritter as Obama’s next SecState choice...
Scott, Child-Predator, Ritter?
Mr. disgusting Master Bater??

I’m just thinking that BO has not made being Sec. of State a gratifying position for Hillary. He’s kept her in the shadows. She must be a very frustrated woman.
Sorry I can’t recall.
In her own words:
"I ain't nowhars neer tahrd!"
Don’t these people ever die of natural causes? The last one I remember is Paul Tsongas.
