Interesting development. I'm trying to figure out the angle. There is always an angle.

The angle is, she's probably exhausted. It's very common for cabinet members and other major political appointees to only serve one term (or even less) even if the administration they serve stays in office for two.

This is the angle and it is very clear for everyone to see.

Quote:
Clinton has previously said in numerous interviews that she would serve only one term as Obama's Secretary of State. She has said that she loves the job but has found the constant international travel physically grueling, and has longed to work on promoting women's and children's development, writing and travel, from private life.

"There's so many things I'm interested in, I mean, really going back to private life and spending time reading, and writing, and maybe teaching, doing some personal travel, not the kind of travel where you bring along a couple of hundred people with you," Clinton elaborated to Tavis Smiley last year.

The woman never seems to be in a good mood the few times the press pays attention to her. Also tired. She's 64. Good time to retire.(from political office.)

This isn't surprising. She said she only planned to serve one term.

Arrow Hillary has eyes on more power than the Presidency

Hillary has expressed she would like to head up the World Bank.

flashback 6.5 months:

Exclusive: Clinton in talks about possible move to World Bank | Reuters

Quote:
She has said publicly she did not plan to stay on at the State Department for more than four years. Associates say Clinton has expressed interest in having the World Bank job should the bank's current president, Robert Zoellick, leave at the end of his term, in the middle of 2012.


"Hillary Clinton wants the job," said one source who knows the secretary well.

She has done a great job as Secretary of State. She is undoubtedly exhausted from her tireless efforts and should be congratulated on a job very well done.

I agree. She's rich, Bill may be impotent by now, and she has a nice house in Chappequa. Maybe Chelsea will have a baby and she can stay home and enjoy life.

She is 64 years old, why shouldn't she want to slow down?

The job she has now is particularly grueling, living out of a suitcase isn't easy at any age.

Why does everything always have to be a conspiracy?
