Clinton to leave political ‘high wire’

Posted by: Gerald McKinstry - Posted in Uncategorized on Jan 27, 2012

Westchester residents may see more of Hillary Clinton now that she’s planning on stepping off the “high wire of American politics.”

The Associated Press today reported that the Secretary of State who lives in Chappaqua plans on stepping down from her role with President Barack Obama’s administration but will stay on until a replacement is found.

“I have made it clear that I will certainly stay on until the president nominates someone and that transition can occur” if Obama wins re-election, she told a town hall meeting. “But I think after 20 years, and it will be 20 years, of being on the high wire of American politics and all of the challenges that come with that, it would be probably a good idea to just find out how tired I am.”

The AP also reported that she left the door open for a possible return to politics.

  1. Honey, I'm Home!

    They’ll be home together? Odds are Bill will be, with alacrity, looking for a political traveling salesman’s job.

  2. just the facts

    interesting timing on the announcement just before a presidential election where
    Hillary has been a huge asset to the presdent.. she could have waited until right
    after the election since she is staying on until a replacement is found but she chose
    not too ..she chose instead to cast a cloud over all of the foreign policy acheivments
    that she has been involved in and the result is that the president is left without
    the abiliyt of pointing to her as a solid member of his administration as he campaigns
    in the fall..,.

  3. Next!

    So now he can appoint Maya Angelou, Oprah, or Jane Fonda.

  4. John

    Hillary is fed up with the BO’s administrations lack of a foreign policy.
