Clinton not to be Secretary of State under re-elected Obama
March 17th, 2011 - 12:29 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Mar.17 (ANI): Hilary Clinton has said she would not keep her job as US Secretary of State if President Barack Obama is re-elected in 2012.
Clinton, who is currently in Cairo, gave a flat ‘no’ answer when asked if she would serve in her present job, as Secretary of Defense or even as vice president in a Democrat administration if Obama wins a second term.
She insisted that she would not like to serve as a top US diplomat, despite Opinion Research Corporation survey, which suggest that nearly two-thirds of Americans support her.
“I had a wonderful experience running and I am very proud of the support I had and very grateful for the opportunity, but I’m going to be, you know, moving on,” The Daily Mail quoted her, as saying.
She added: “I am doing what I want to do right now and I have no intention or any idea even of running again. I’m going to do the best I can at this job for the next two years.” (ANI)
