WASHINGTON - Outgoing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
sidestepped questions about whether she would run for president in 2016 in a CBS
television interview done jointly with President Barack Obama, her rival in the
2008 race.
Clinton, 65, denied there were any political tea leaves to
read in the unusual joint interview for the CBS show "60 Minutes," and
acknowledged that she still has "some lingering effects" from a recent
concussion and blood clot that she said doctors expect to disappear over
time.
"The president and I care deeply about what's going to happen for
our country in the future. And I don't think, you know, either he or I can make
predictions about what's going to happen tomorrow, or the next year," Clinton
said, according to a transcript of the interview, which was taped at the White
House on Friday and aired on Sunday.
