No pros and cons list yet for Clinton on 2016
(CNN) – As she weighs whether to launch another bid for the White House, Hillary Clinton described the decision-making process as fluid.
And though she says she's asked daily about a possible 2016 presidential run, she's not quite to the point of making a formal list of the reasons for and against launching a campaign.

"I'm not yet making the lists that I like to do - the pros and the cons. I'm just sort of living my life and seeing how it all feels to me," Clinton said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS's "Sunday Morning."
How enthusiastic are Democrats about Clinton as nominee?
The former secretary of state also defended her tenure as America's top diplomat in the face of near constant criticism from the right - specifically over the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the death of four Americans.
"This was in the fog of war and there were a lot of confusing pieces of information flooding into us from the very first moment," she said.
"We did our best to sort it out. I did my best to fully cooperate with the Congress. I respect the Congress' oversight responsibility. But there's a difference between unanswered questions and unlistened-to answers," she added, referring to testimony she gave before a Senate committee hearing last year.
Also on foreign policy, Clinton warned against judging the Obama administration for its decision to swap five Taliban prisoners for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl - an exchange that's stirred up political drama in Washington.
"I don't think any of us - and even I, who served for four years in the administration - can from the outside make that judgment," she said.

Want to know something scary? She may be the next president !
I think it would be so funny if some day in the near future Hillary just casually said "Well I don't think so." Talk about all the wasted money and time, not to mention pseudo-investigations. I wonder if they, the GOTP, will give that money back?
miss clinton this is some of the pros and cons for running. if you allow the repubs to take this government, with their warmongering selves and selling out our economy by giving corporations tax breaks to take their business to china, this country will be in alot of doo doo. this country cannot sustain multiple wars, and tax cuts to the rich, this will destroy our budget way more than it is right now. everyone know that repubs are a bunch of spend a holic, they just don't like spending the economy monies in this country. they would rather spend billions to destroy a country like Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Russia. and trillions to rebuild it up again. as they snatch up food stamps out of poor babies mouth claiming the country can't afford the penny on the dollar cost to our country. miss Clinton you are the only road the american people have from carnage and economic desaster if repubs should hold power again.
Well don't get ya hopes up. it's out there in spades.

hillary is a disaster.
I would probably vote for her if she promised to take gasoline prices back to the level where they were before the president of the dope addicts, welfare frauds and corrupt unions got elected.
@Bill
Typical of the uninformed right wing: those comments are taken completely out of context or edited to purposely mislead and rated "Pants on Fire" by Politifact. One of the statements was made about reducing tax cuts and loopholes for the wealthiest Americans in order to cover the costs of 2 wars and unfunded Republican programs that simply added to the debt with no revenue to offset them. Right now, Republicans are planning to allow veterans to go to private hospitals because of the backlogs and false reports from some VA hospital administrators. They have proposed other new spending recently with absolutely NO plan to increase taxes, close loopholes, or any other method to cover the costs! Obama's new spending as President is the lowest of any president since Eisenhower (Forbes research). If you have to use these tricks and deception, perhaps you're on the wrong team.
@ED 1
FYI: Presidents and First Ladies pay for their vacations, clothing, and even for their meals at the White House, unless it's an official state dinner. Granted, the security details are required to go along and protect them wherever they go and that is true for every 1st family. The President gets a salary and a spending allowance for costs related to the office. The Secretary of State is also paid a salary. As for the "lackluster career," that is an opinion not a fact. History will judge the facts, not the political garbage surrounding events.
