Hillary Clinton chuckled as she watched a video of Dick Cheney predicting that her boss, President Obama, would be a one-term president.
"I am pleased that former Vice President Cheney is healthy and resuming public activity, but I could not disagree more," the secretary of state said Tuesday. Cheney recently had a heart pump implanted in his chest and has lost weight.
Clinton, in an interview taped for NBC's 'Today' show, said Obama is "playing the hand he was dealt by the Bush-Cheney administration very well indeed" and has worked hard to "rescue" the U.S. and global economy. She clearly expects he will serve a second term, although she may not go there with him.
Asked about her political future, Clinton said she will finish out this four-year stint with the administration, but has not made any commitment to staying on as secretary of state beyond 2012. "I have said I am looking forward to returning to private life," she said, noting, "I do look forward to having a little more spare time and a few more hours just to take a deep breath, which seems hard to have in this job."
