Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to step down if President Obama is re-elected, but she noted that the State Department could get more done if people aren’t paying attention, according to Josh Rogin of Foreign Policy:
Clinton warned her employees that the election season would “suck up a lot of the attention” from foreign policy issues. “But the good news is, you know, maybe we can even get more done if they’re not paying attention,” she said. “So just factor that in.”
The comment came as Clinton was announcing changes to expect during the upcoming year, including the drawdown in Afghanistan and a pledge to allow employees upgraded browsers.

Thanks for the warning Hillary, now we'll make sure we watch everything you're doing over there!! So I guess she's not going to run for President then? I was kind of hoping she would, just to undermine Obama!! You missed the Presidential boat Hillary, and it ain't coming back!!

First Perdue pondering cancelling elections, and now Madam Hillary telling one and all, as it wont of communists, to hide the goings on from the people whom she supposedly works for. I read Clinton Global Initiative self-enrichment, and worse.

If she leaves, she leaves public life for good. If she knows what is good for her.

Maybe her sudden urge to re-enact this old announcement was that she heard that "The Diary of Hillary Clinton's Secret Campaign Consultant" was about to hit on Kindle. After all, trying to drown out bad news with old news is a favorite Clinton ploy.
