While some of us were watching Margaret Thatcher’s funeral this morning, from which the Clintons, the Bushes, and the Obamas were all notably absent, on another channel President Obama was talking to Savannah Guthrie about his former secretary of state. Proving that he has mastered the fancy footwork involved in dancing around Hillary Clinton 2016 speculation, Obama accomplished a creditable sidestep on the Today Show as HuffPo reports.
Obama Misses Hillary Clinton, But Says ‘She’s Earned Her Rest’ (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | By Nick Wing Posted: 04/17/2013 10:34 am EDTPresident Barack Obama couldn’t avoid questions about Hillary Clinton potentially running for president in 2016 during a recent interview on NBC’s “Today” show.
Speaking with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie in an interview recorded last week and aired Wednesday morning, Obama steered clear of assuming anything about Clinton’s White House plans. But he also appeared happy to praise his former secretary of state, who departed the administration earlier this year.
“Do you miss her around here?” Guthrie asked.
“I do,” Obama responded. “She’s earned her rest and I know that she’s going to be able — whatever she does — to continue to be a leader and an incredibly positive force for the causes I care about and that she cares about all around the world.”

Yes, absolutely. I don’t know if Obama really misses her or he’s just being a politician, but Kerry is not exactly Mr. excitement.

Poor Kerry. It’s so hard to follow her. I felt so bad for him testifying today. He was fighting off tears. But if Hillary had ever touched a domestic event that way or cried while defending a budget on the Hill, they would have been all over her like wasps.

Well, he is form MA, but I don’t think that they would have given Hillary a hard time under the circumstances. The events of Boston are truly horrible.

They didn’t cut her any slack when she teared up over her friend and colleague, Christopher Stevens. They proceeded as if she murdered him with her own hands.
