This is very sad, but at the same time, I don’t blame her for really thinking it over. Who needs the kind of aggravation from the rightwing she will get?

Clinton Weighing 2016 Run, But Soured By Political Dysfunction

nbcnews.com

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said she is considering a presidential run in 2016, but her time watching Washington gridlock from afar as secretary of state has soured her to the political process.

“I am obviously flattered and deeply honored to have people ask me and people encourage me. And I am thinking about it,” Clinton said in response to a question about a future presidential run.

“I would be the first to say we’re having a political period of, frankly, dysfunction,” she said. “I saw it from afar as secretary and it was disheartening and even embarrassing to see people arguing about letting us default on our debt.”

Meh, She’s seen plenty of dysfunction before. Her husband was impeached, things are pretty bad today but I’m not so sure this is anything terribly new.
