Posted by Rachel Weiner on May 7, 2013 at 11:11 am
Hillary Clinton is enjoying her time as a private citizen and should get a break from presidential speculation, her husband said Tuesday.
Shes taking a role in the [Clinton] foundation, shes writing books, shes having a little fun being a private citizen for the first time in 20 years, former president Bill Clinton responded when asked about his wifes plans.
Speaking at a fiscal summit put on by the anti-deficit Peter G. Peterson Foundation, Clinton described 2016 speculation as the worst expenditure of our time. Instead, he said, politicians and pundits should focus on ensuring that whoever the next president is has an easier set of choices before him or her.
Clinton also had a little advice for President Obama, who he urged to keep reaching out to congressional Republicans.
