Really, seriously, Clinton is done with government
By Elise Labott
While much of the country is looking ahead to the next election, Hillary Clinton said she is squeezing every last moment out of her current job.
As secretary of state, Clinton isn't allowed to campaign or participate in domestic politics.
"It is a little odd for me to be totally out of an election season," the former presidential candidate and senator admitted to State Department employees Thursday during a town hall meeting.
Clinton said she hasn't even watched any of the many Republican presidential debates so far.
Foreign service officers are also expected to remain politically neutral in conducting their jobs, but there were clearly a few Clinton fans in the room. One woman asked Clinton whether she could be persuaded to stay as secretary of state or even run for vice president, reflecting rumors that Joe Biden might step down and President Barack Obama would ask Clinton to join the ticket for his re-election bid.
Clinton wouldn't bite, saying Biden "does an excellent job" and is a "huge advocate and supporter" for the State Department and its sister organization, the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The secretary of state said, as she has many times before, that she's done with government after this presidential term.
"I have made it clear that I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and that transition can occur," she said. "But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that, it would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am. Everyone always says that when they leave these jobs."
Elections, she said, "I'm sure will suck up a lot of the attention from following areas that we think are so important." She cited resolving longstanding conflicts, helping bring people around the world out of poverty and trying to build up America's reputation as some of the issues she wants to continue to advance before she leaves office.
There is an upside to American being distracted by the election, Clinton pointed out: "The good news is maybe we could even get more done if they are not paying attention."
Which is why Clinton said she is looking forward to her last year in office and doesn't want to divert attention from the important work of U.S. foreign policy by even thinking about her next move.
Not even a casual thought?
"From my perspective, I will just work as hard as I can until the last minute I have the honor of being secretary, and certainly do everything no matter what I do, which I have no idea what it will be, to support all of you"
Oh, she probably has some idea.
Do you have any ideas for Clinton's next move? Weigh in below in our comment section.

I wanted to thank you for this good read!! I definitely enjoyed every little bit of it. I've got you book marked to look at new things you post…

Bea...who are you talking to? didn't you read marilee's comment#75, a compendium of the Clinton's record, or perhaps my retort #100 vs. #99 ? Ignore the foul mouthed cretins, spewing their obscenities, hiding in anonimity behind their keyboards, they're just bratty kids on a computer somewhere! I agree with you Hillary will make a fine Grandmother...Let's watch and see, but the American People won't forget what the Clintons are...shameless Con-Artists in the White House, the Senate, and as Secretary of State, non deserving of trust or respect...
I hope that after some time to rest Hillary reconsiders getting back into politics and runs for president in 2016. I can't think of one candidate of either party who would have her level of experience: 8 years in the WH, 8 years in the senate and 4 years as SOS.
Kevin...I'll take that as a compliment, thankyou...the Clinton legacy of lies and deceit will never be forgotten... Decent citizens were outraged and angered by the way they betrayed the public's trust...you have to resort to name calling and sarcasm... Attempting to discredit the truth as ranting and raving by implied association, as most liberals do when the facts don't suit their misguided beliefs... You are a blind man being lead by the blind, you refuse to see the truth...The politically correct lib-view of "how it should be" versus "how it is" demands you dispute reality...You could lose that warm, fuzzy viewpoint of life with a good dose of truth, but it'll make you burn with rage too...Oh...we can't have that, can we ?...It's meltdown time !...Burn Baby Burn !!!
KenE...perhaps you didn't read comment # 75?...you sound like a person w/ some education...read 1st then, let's see how warm and fuzzy you feel about the Clinton family and thier political track record...
Is this Richard Mellon Scaife? Are you him in disguise? Or maybe Grover Norquist? Your hatred is melting monitor with its absolute unhinged intensity...
Mrs. Clinton has served The American People well...I still think she would have made an EXCELLENT president and hope that perhaps in the future she will be able to take on that role. That being said the work she has done as Secretary of State has been nothing short of magnificent. She was able to bring the world's opinion of America back to the positive side, sorry Mr. Obama, it really was Mrs. Clinton who did that.
Whatever the future holds for her, I hope it will be her joy and peace of mind.
90+ COMMENTS AND STILL THE DEMONDEMO- RABBLE BABBLE THE CHEERS FOR "MORE HILDEBEAST"!!!!...what's it gonna take, a silver bullet to stop the insanity? we need someone to drive a wooden stake through the heart...yeeesh!
What ever she wants as long as she is happy! She supported her husband in office very well and has made an outstanding Sect.of State. A fantastic mother she raised a fine daughter and just might be thinking of being a grandmother if and when the time comes!
She is just getting ready for 2016 since she can raise funds until she is out of office.
Elise Labott can take one good lesson from her blog responses today...you want to stir up some shit?...just talk about a Clinton...'specially Hillary!!!
MY PERSONAL LIST OF POLITICIANS DOOMED TO BURN IN HELL (and in infamy in the annals of history)...#1 NANCY PELOSI...#2 DIANNE FIENSTEIN...#3 BARBARA BOXER..these shameless,special interest money grubbing,liberal social reform agenda driven,worthless career politicians for life (don't get me started) can't even hold a candle to the Clinton legacy of corruption and deceit... unions, special interest groups, social reformers,abortionists,gay activists, and people afraid of losing a piece of the govt.'s socialist welfare dole money, vote for them and contribute to the entrenched system of Big Government...the Hillary-Monster stands only for Her and Her cronie's interests...they think they know better than us, they're the Elite – they ARE better than us!kk Not so fast Hillary...all men are created equal with God given rights...
No one is listening to you. You have to call her a cunt.
Yes,....may 1000 camel cocks slap the lips of this ratcheted whore monger while the anal bugs seep from her twat that came from the desert monkey people
"The good news is maybe we could even get more done if they are not paying attention." That might be the most succinct thing she has ever said, and surely fits this administration to a tee....
Whats the matter JimInMS, did his accurate description of the fabled "Clinton years" actually offend your delicate liberal sensibilities...facing the truth hurts! grow up and acknowlege the truth staring at you in the mirror! Watch out for the loud "POP"...the noise your ass will make, when you pull your fat head out!!!
Will some of you people who are hillary cheerleaders please share with me what her accomplishments have been as Sec. of State? Our standing in the middle east in at the lowest it has evern been. Iran is on the verge of getting the bomb. China is negotiating all over the world to secure long term oil supplies. If her husband hadn't been President of the United States you would have never heard of her. With next to no relevant experience she is considered a viable Presidential candidate. How does first lady translate into relevant experience?
Oh I hope she runs or Obama asks her to be VP. It would be fun revisiting all this:
Whitewater
Cattlegate
Nannygate
Helicoptergate
Travelgate
Gennifer Flowersgate
Filegate
Vince Fostergate
I wonder where those Whitewater billing records came fromgate
Paula Jonesgate
Federal Building campaign phone callgate
Lincoln bedroomgate
White House coffeegate
Donations from convicted drug and weapons dealersgate
Buddhist Templegate
Web Hubbell hush moneygate
Lippogate
Chinese commiegate – Clinton was practically endorsed by red China Update!
Let's blame Kenneth Starrgate
Zippergate/interngate – the Lewinsky affair itself
Perjury and jobs for Lewinskygate – the aftermath
Willeygate
Web Hubbell prison phone callgate
Selling Military Technology to the Chinese Commiesgate
Coverup for our Russian Comrades as Wellgate
Wag-the-Dog-gate
Jaunita Broaddrick gate
PBS-gate
Email-gate
Vandalgate
Lootergate
Pardongate and the list goes on!
You left out two-faced cunt.
My God. Get some class you ignoramous.
When Hillary was running for Senator here in NYS she promised one hundred thousand jobs for UpState New York voters. Why is it that politicians always promise jobs and the public knows they are lying through their teeth. Iguess it becomes a habit after awhile.
I say switch out the Clintons, it's time for BIll to be tagged in. Nobody does as much as Hillary and takes so much flak except for the president himself. All of you sexist, racist, bigoted SOBs can shut your pie-holes, your monkey did your bidding and it damn near killed this country, you had your run for the next century, let the rest of us build and clean it back up.
Amen,brother!!! I've nothing to add to this. You'vwe said it all. I and America thank you for having the gutts to tell these suckers off.
Is that liberal polite speech??? Always the name calling when facts prove you are otherwise brain dead.
Seriously he and that the dems need to leave office asap
What we need to do is use that piece of paper that people call the constipation to wipe out butts with.its old it doesnt mean anything anymore disolve the government and put our savor obama as our king.then the world would be perfect......and if yall believe that ive got ocean front property in utah real cheap.thats the funniest thing ive ever said
Hey Rod...our country's on the highway to hell...and you guys want Hillary to be the bus driver! What's obstructionist about screaming STOP! YOU IDIOTS!!!
Would you gop people gone obstructionist party please stay in your lane??? The unfair and unbalanced fox cesspool..
Isn't America wonderful???? I don't have to listen or obey your claptrap...
Oh Really...LagunaByatch!...connected to the worst president Hmm...let's see here... #1 worst Carter...#2 Clinton (and I mean #2 as in bowel movement)...Tied for #'s 2&3 ( yep – you guessed it !) Obama!!!...quite a disgusting list, come to think of it...but the HILDEBEAST as president...She'd be tied to all three !!!...get real...Americans are so DONE with liberal social engineering, and the destruction of our traditional values through political reformers... not to mention the TRILLIONS of DOLLARS WASTED on special intrest legislation...REALLY LagunaByatch ? Hillary for VP ? Obama 2nd term ? California will slide of into the ocean first ! Better yet...grow a brain first, then you might choke on your own vomit after you realize what you're saying...
I'M A PATRIOT 'CAUSE I CAN YELL THE LOUDEST! GEORGE W BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL! THIS 'COUNTRY' IS BEING RUN BY PENTAGON CHICHEN-HAWKS! WAAA-HOOOOOOOO!!!, HOMOS!
I don't believe ANYTHING that comes out of a Clinton's mouth...She knows America's NEVER going to accept another Clinton as president...THAT'S why she's not running...Oh... and 1st Sgt's command more respect when they speak their mind – they've earned it ! Who cares what some fat assed liberal (tenured "educator") says...they keep their jobs by just being there, not earning anything but my contempt, for the way they try to screw up our kid's education...
I seriously doubt "1stSgt" has "served" anything other than time.
WATCH OUT!! She might have an ACE up her sleeves.
Sayan.

I was happy when Obama won the democratic primary – but was so impressed by Hillary Clinton before election 08 and her great work the last 3 years. I think she is very competent and would be a great president if thats possible in 2016. Maby its better for her now to relax some, and then wait after senate-congress election in 2014 before she starts too campaign đŸ˜‰ Thats a dream – first female president – and one of the most experience and with now good jugdment!
This woman is a waste of cunt. Two faced, corrupt bitch.
I am sure most people feel the same way about you, ya little piss ant
Agree scott....But I hope She jumps on the ticket in 2012. An amazing, bright, whip smart woman~ the kind of person that draws the c word the b word from little piss ants ..... Obama ? 2012
ANY man who uses this word when speaking of ANY woman is an ignorant jerk. Obviously your 3:45am response to this article about a former First Lady is because you're up early for work...yeh, right or just getting home from a night on the town. Whatever your story, there is no excuse for using this disgusting and derogatory reference to speak of a woman.
Hilary Clinton is certainly the most accomplished woman in politics and despite her party affiliation, I'd have voted for her if she'd run in 2008. The fact that BO appointed her to this position only proves that he is fearful of her running against him and I've no doubt that this was his calculation when he appointed her – he wanted her out of Washington and running herself ragged trying to put out fires all over the globe. BOs a loser for sure but a jerk like you requires a whole new word to define your character. Go back to your cave you moron – you're comments are not welcome here.
"Free" country (still). As such, I will say what I want. That's how it goes. Don't like it? Tough!
The article is about Clinton, not Palin.
HILLARY FOR VP 2012 !!! GUARANTEED TO RE-ELECT OBAMA FOR A 2ND TERM!
I am a registered republican and cannot emphasize how disappointed I am with your idiotic and moronic comments. I can only surmise that you probably have erectile dysfunction and ejaculate prematurely for comments such as these. As such, you must have some relationship issues that need to be addressed, aside from a seeming sleep disorder.
You most probably have limited vocabulary and unable to communicate with decency. I am uncertain if you even understand (or able to read) half the things I am saying.
Bloviating fuck-tard. You use your tongue purdier 'n a twenty dollar whore.
I think it is you, simian, whose taste for discourse is peurile and of wind-blown gibberish. So, you're into $20 whores are you? Only proves my point.
You are a truly horrible person.
You are a disgrace to your gender. What a lack of class and civility!!! You may disagree with Hillary's politics, but she deserves respect.
Do you have a mother, wife, girlfriend or sister? How would you feel if somene addressed them in such manner?
Absolutely disgraceful!!!!
Hilary, You've done a great job. Keep up the good work.
She did a better job then her husband . She made Obama a great president, and She will be a wonderful Grandmother .
Huh? Did Slick Willie knock up one of the kids?
Isnt she supposed to open up all her archived files this year? (2012)
All you Republicans trolls there's a place for you to spit your right wing non sense and its call the FoxNation.. that's the most nauseating blog I'v ever came across.
Dana you should watch what comes out of your mouth, yes it would be nice if hillary ran in the near future , obama is an american dont be so simple
Do you have any ideas for Clinton's next move? Yea, The 45th President of the United States after a 8 year Obama Presidency.
I would love her to be the President right now, I supported her in 2008 and would support here in 2012 or 2016. However I take her at her word she is done, now she will spend all her time bothering Chelsea for a Grandchild and she deserves it !!! Love you HILLARY !!!!
Who but a liberal retard (oxymoron?) would take a Clinton's word for anything? What kind of demented mind could profess loyalty to a family who threw their entire staff under the bus in what they had to know was a losing cause? Swore an oath and lied. Looked into the camera addressing America and lied. Lied to Congress. Lied to a judge.
You liberals are just too funny.
I think that Hillary has plans to join Bill in the good work that he is doing. He has joined Michelle Obama and Rachael Ray in the fight against childhood obesity and is working toward getting healthier foods into our school cafeterias. He is also working for the rights and needs of women and children globally. I've noticed that Hillary also mentions these things often, so I'm thinking that she will go to work in support of these goals.
I wish them both the best – I've already donated to Clinton's cause.
A fool and their money are easily parted, That's what this administration is counting on, fools and their money.
Many comments I read on these boards these days are very hostile. You have to ask yourself why this is coming out of you. Until we can really deal with what is going on in people's hearts, the hate and anger that exists in our world, then we will have a difficult time moving forward into a more advance and peaceful country and planet. Forgive others. Forgive yourself.
I will forgive when civil discourse, not foisted and fanned by Democratic and liberal talkiing heads returns civility and maturity to those that think that throwing an f bomb or the lovely "tard" at anyone that doesn't agree with them is proper conduct, even the spineless ones that through out sit behind the safety of a key board and annonimity.
I think she has plans to run for president 2016 !!!! I hope so !!!
Hillary needs a well deserved 4 year vacation before she runs for President in 2016. She has done tremendous work to undo the foreign policy damage of eight years of Bush/Cheney capped off by the last 4 years of screwups by C. Rice.
P.S. Please don't feed the trolls.
Yeah, she and obama did a great job. You are a fool. Look at Egypt, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan, you idiot ! All of Bush's good work in the Middle East thrown in the garbage bin by these two Socialist douchebags. Hillary would do us all a BIG FAVOR if she'd just kill herself.
"Bush's good work in the middle east???? Hahahahahahahahaaha!!!!! That's the best fucking laugh I've had all week.
@Field1stSgt man, have you been drinking? Are you high? You are having yourself quite a night on the boards here!
You are showing a side of the Republican party that isn't very flattering. Keep up your incessant nonsense. It looks good on you!
She probably wants to write a few more books and fatten her bank account. Who knows if she works really hard she may end up with as much money as Newt Romney.
she and Bill are worth $85million....Mitt is work $250Million...that is a quarter of a billion dollars!!!
Hilary has been a good secretary of state...and don't think she would have taken the job if she didn't respect and trust President Obama....
I disagree Villager.Yes, Clinton and McCain did very well and they won some big asttes.But, Obama has proven a point that should not be ignored. He won in asttes that I was sure that she would carry. Which is an interesting point. Alaska,Utah, North Dakota, Idaho~do you think large black populations? If you think back to when this all started~this was supposed to be a wrap for Team Billary. And it is not happening that way. She needs to be challenged and so does Obama. That way the national popoulation can see what they both are about politically.I did not think that he would take Calli or NY. I was hoping that something would change before the votes were casted. So those were not surprises to me at all. But in the big picture they are still having at it. The stump is on the way to my home state of Ohio. It is already hot here for both parties. CNN is sponsoring a national debate here. The govenor is a Billary man and has lead her to believe that he can work it out for her.But that is not how I see it. Obama '08 has been working it out all along. I suspect that it is going to be hot as hell here starting today.So cheer up. It is not over and the fat donkey ain't even cleared its vocal chords to sing!
Hillary shows lots of stress. She needs some rest. She just does not LOOK like she would be up to any more goverment battles. Hope the best for her. She did well as Sec of State. Take Care
the past three years have not been easy, but the future is looking tougher , if things were to flash up in the mid east the position of the secretary of state would be load that only few could bear through the darts of all sides of global leaders. it would be a service to the country and not a position of the secretary of state. clinton has endured much as secretary of state and perhaps in a few years she will give us a glimps into what she endured when she releases a book.
She has endured a hell of a lot just being connected to the sorriest President this country has ever had.
You Republicans are very desperate.
You really should not advertise your rank in these idiotic posts you are posting. I prefer a 1st sergeant who I can lookup to. I would have difficulty obeying orders from someone with your attitude.
give it a rest...or shall we talk about G.W.
Have you looked for job today, you wannabee, or are you still holed up in your parents' garage?
@FIDEL1stSGT:You're wrong, Hillary is not connected to the sorriest President in the history of the US (GW Bush)
From the words of James Brown! Please! Please! Don't Go!
And from the Ramones; "Glad to See You Go Go Go Go Goodbye".
If that will get her closer to the Presidency Do It Please Hillary. Maybe Obama will meet with a scuba diving accident as in maybe eaten by a shark while vacationing in his adopted birth state of Hawaii.
Why are you so angry with Obama? What specifically has he done to rouse your deep hatred of him as a human being? I'm listening?
Dana, maybe YOU will get eaten by a shark and then serious issues could be commented on by more intelligent people. Very patriotic of you to hope the American president dies. You must be a republican.
Obama was handed this mess because G.W. chose not to do anything.
I'd much rather live in the state of Hawaii, than to live in a state of ignorance.
another intellgent comment
You are living proof that "ya can't fix stupid".
Hillary should move back to Arkansas and get back to her hillbilly roots đŸ™‚
An another African has spoke. You know the country where they eat each other?
you mean continent?
you are brilliant.
Would that be the same country where white people who live in trailers impregnate their relatives while operating a meth lab?
A-pissin, she's from Illinois originally, and Field1st, get out a map and look up Africa: the consensus among people who graduated from high school is that its a continent.
Hillary was born in Park Ridge, an upscale suburb of Chicago.
You are the one who sound like a "hillbilly".
Hillary is admired and respected only by the people who don't remember her saying she was shot at as she and Chelsea were getting off a plane... Even though none of the media seen any of that as they shot footage of them getting off the plane with NO gunshots.. Anyone remember that?
Hillary did fly into a war zone. She didn't say or imply that bullets were actually being fired at her.
Yeah and Obama doesn't know how many states he's President of. WOW WHAT A LOSER;.
That's not the version she told at the time. What politician doesn't embellish just a tad.
Yes and Romney can't keep track of his tax returns and offshore accounts: why do u feel a connection to the Mormon aristocrat?
I hope and pray that Hillary is being coy and will actually run for president in 2016. She is the greatest political leader of our time and would make a fantastic president. My heart is still broken over her 2008 loss. As far as the vice presidency is concerned, I think she would be better off distancing herself from the Obama administration.
Mine too!!!
Hillary would make a great vice president and she is admired and respected by many American voters.
SHE WOULD MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT. THE ONE WHO SHOULD HAVE HAD THE JOB EXCEPT FOR THE WHINERS WHINING THAT THEY HAD BEEN RACIE-A-FIED. SO SICKENING THEIR USING THIS EXCUSE. WHAT DID THEIR FOREFATHERS DO WITH THE 40 ACRES AND A MULE. THEY ATE THE MULE AND SOLD THE LAND FOR BOOZE.
who lit your fire?
Excuse me, the laundry's calling, your white sheets and brown shirts are ready, but your swastika armband was ruined: do you want another one, or do you think people can figure out you're a bigoted loser without it?
Hillary should run for the vice president if democrats want to win this year's election.
