After leaving her post, what will be her next move? Any biography or auto-biography on the right wing conspiracy, how about "The good, the bad, and the ugly of the Clintons"?

Otsukaresama. A few more like you in office and the US would be a much better place.

Yeah!!!!! I hope Kerry is more Japan friendly. A balance to Obama's japanophobia. Time for Hilary to disappear.

PS But Bill can stick around.

@Bgood41

For the curious, there are hundreds of titles about the Clintons already in publication. Don't say you've read them all.

She is definitely running for president in 2016!

I guess this means she is finally taking responsibility for the death of her people in Benghazi?

Anyway, as incompetent as Hillary has been she is a whole lot better than Kerry.

Thank you for your service. We'll see what happens in the next couple of years !

I don't know about that, just a simple, "take care" would be sufficient enough.

Having said that, compared to Kerry, she is almost, almost a Saint.

Have you guys been told what to say about Kerry yet?

Right-wing rule: As bad as the previous office holder was, he or she pales in badness to the incoming or incumbent holder.

This ensures they will have no end of complaints.

Due to her service, the world is a more peaceful place, and the US and interests are much safer. Good job.

I am very happy for her that she does not have to worry about anything for the first time when she goes to bed at night. She can stay in bed as long as she wishes. She can smell roses and spend more time with her family. That's a luxuary she never had. She can start living her normal life. I am very happy for her.

From what I've read, Kerry is an apologist who shares Obama's liberal worldview. I'm assuming that means on JT Kerry will be an apologist who shares Obama's worldview.

Yeah right. If anything she's just going to kick into overdrive for a 2016 run for the presidency. I figured that this one was coming from the moment she got her position. It's all just maneuvering. This gives her time to distance herself so she isn't bogged down with parallels to the current administration and it allows her to drum up support. Of all the things Clinton is doing she is most certainly not sleeping in or living a normal life. That woman hasn't slowed down for half a second in her entire life, I disagree with her positions on almost everything but I can appreciate a person with drive and ambition when I see one. Rest and family time isn't even part of the equation.

TheQuestion, two points. First,

I disagree with her positions on almost everything ...

She has never held a policy producing role in her life, and as such, her "positions" on matters have been to date irrelevant. You might do better to disagree with her hair styles.

... for a 2016 run for the presidency.

That is very unlikely to happen. I feel that the Clinton brand has reached its end, much as the Carter brand did: Dynasties are poisonous. It is unfortunate Americans didn't realize that before Bush II. Trust me: Hilary will never run.

Biden might, though.

TheQuestion,

Perhaps that quote was rife with sarcasm?

I agree with Laguna. Unlikely she will consider running for the presidency. She honestly admitted that she is tired or burned out in her interview with Barbara Walters.. She enjoyed watching HGTV, TRAVEL CHANNELS like most retired seniors do. I can see her getting excited about becoming a grandma, doing a lot of work for Bill Clinton's Global Initiative with her great experiences as a Secretary of State. I am fully retired after many years of over socializing, so I can truly understand her that she has no plan to run for the presidency at this moment. This is it.

Hillary is a woman of wisdom. She understands what she accomplished in her life does not make her a great woman in history, but what she was or is for others will.

She was a senator for 8 years, cast numerous votes including the vote on the Patriot act, No Child Left Behind, and the Bush era bailouts . She also made numerous speeches and written statements during her time in office regarding energy, media regulations, and net neutrality that are at odds with my own opinions.

That is very unlikely to happen. I feel that the Clinton brand has reached its end, much as the Carter brand did: Dynasties are poisonous. It is unfortunate Americans didn't realize that before Bush II. Trust me: Hilary will never run.

Bah, she has the qualifications and if she has the ambition I'd be disappointing if she didn't run. I don't see a lot of heavy lifters with mass appeal to act as standard bearer in the next election for the Dems outside of Hillary and Biden. Kirsten Gillibrand and Andrew Cuomo might throw their hats in the ring but they'd have a tough time in battleground states in the south and especially now that several states are changing how electoral college votes are distributed.

Biden might, though.

Good or bad Biden would be carrying a whole lot of baggage into a 2016 run. While his gaffes are hilarious Biden is a smart man and his debate skills are sharp but after 4 years (and probably another 4 to come) of gridlock he's going to be bitter as all get out by the time primaries come around. By contrast Hillary may have given herself valuable time to rest up and give it a go at full strength without 4 extra years of Presidential politics dragging her down.
