Hillary Rodham Clinton offered praise for President Barack Obama's executive actions to stave off deportation for millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. But the Democrats' favored presidential hopeful has been less forthcoming on other issues in these early days of the 2016 contest.
Clinton is not, so far, a candidate, and she's limiting her commentary about the daily news cycle confronting Obama, a strategy that could keep down chatter about where she and the unpopular president agree and where they diverge.
The former secretary of state, senator and first lady is not talking about the Keystone XL pipeline, rejected by one vote in the final weeks of the Democrat-led Senate. She has yet to speak publicly about a sweeping climate change agreement between the U.S. and China, an extension of talks over Iran's nuclear program or the Senate's move to block a bill to end bulk collection of Americans' phone records by the National Security Agency.
When Obama announced his moves to prevent the deportations for nearly 5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, Clinton quickly embraced the decision on Twitter. The president, she wrote, was taking action on immigration in the face of inaction'' in Congress. In doing so, she signaled that as a candidate, she would run against the Republican-led House and Senate that convenes next year. Clinton also drew a distinction from her would-be GOP opponents who have spoken of immigration reform in large part as a border security problem.
On other weighty policy matters, however, Clinton is mum.
You've got to make choices if you're not a candidate,'' said Lanny Davis, a White House special counsel during the Clinton administration who attended law school with Bill and Hillary Clinton. She is not a candidate for president. When she becomes a candidate, she has to start answering questions.''
Nick Merrill, a Clinton spokesman, declined to comment.
Clinton is expected to make her political intentions known in the coming weeks, likely in early 2015. Her speeches are closely watched for signs of how she might offer a rationale for her candidacy.
Clinton campaigned for Democratic candidates during the fall, often pointing to pocketbook issues like equal pay for women, raising the minimum wage and expanded family leave policies. ``A 20th century economy will not work for 21st century families,'' she said at an October rally.
Since then, Clinton has taken a more circumspect posture in public events, appearing at charity events and voicing support for issues related to her work at the Clinton Foundation. That approach allows her to stay above the political fray in the aftermath of Democrats' poor showing during the midterm elections.

Washington:It was a list of requirements worthy of a Hollywood diva, from the temperature of the water in the carafe, to the shape of the chair cushions and the crispness of the crudites, nothing was left to chance when Hillary Clinton came to speak the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) earlier this year.
The new details of the former secretary of state's extensive personal requirements for one of her $300,000 ($351,000) speaking engagements emerged on Thursday, leading to suggestions that she has become increasingly out-of-touch with ordinary people.
"Coffee, tea, room temp sparkling and still water, diet ginger ale, hummus and sliced fruit," requested Mrs Clinton's advance team, according to emails obtained by The Washington Post under freedom of information laws.
A week before the speech, the Clinton team arrived on a reconnaissance mission, throwing out the lectern the university offered and sending officials to find a replacement and a correctly-sized university seal to go on the front. Mrs Clinton's representatives also demanded she have access to a computer, printer and a scanner, which the university had to buy specially for the event, which was privately endowed by Meyer Luskin, an investor.

After deliberations over the shape, colour and upholstery of the chairs to be used at the event, at the university's Royce Hall, Mrs Clinton's representatives specified "two long, rectangular pillows", with two more kept backstage in case she needed additional back support.
The lecture on "Thought Leadership" is one of scores of paid speaking engagements that Mrs Clinton has performed since leaving office in 2009, with her fees going to support the Clinton Foundation, the Clinton family philanthropy arm.
Although Mrs Clinton does not personally profit from the events, there has been increasing scrutiny of the Clintons' jet-set lifestyle in the run-up to the announcement, expected early next year, that she will run for president in 2016. On a campaign visit to Iowa for the Harkin Steak Fry political fundraiser, documents showed that organisers had paid $US50,000 to fly the Clintons into the state.
The idea that Mrs Clinton might be losing touch with the ordinary voter came back to the fore this year when she told an interviewer that she and her husband, Bill Clinton, were "dead broke" when they left the White House.
