Hillary: No Future Prez Run

Written by FrumForum News on Friday December 3, 2010

The Hill reports:

Amid murmurs she could again run for president, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday that her current post is likely her "last public position."

Clinton — a former senator and first lady — brushed aside talk that she might make another run for the White House after her 2008 primary defeat at the hands of Barack Obama.

The 63-year-old wife of former President Bill Clinton has already tamped down rumors that she would seek another White House run in 2012 or 2016. But her remarks Friday are some of her most specific comments on her political future.

Speculation surrounding Clinton's next move has swirled ever since she lost her closely contested race against Obama more than two years ago.
