Hillary Clinton: Still considering future plans
TEMPE, AZ - Hillary Rodham Clinton told a group of enthusiastic college students Saturday that she is "very much concerned about the direction of our country" but was still deciding whether to pursue another presidential campaign.
During a forum at the Clinton Global Initiative University, Clinton fielded a question from a young woman who asked, "If you don't represent women in politics in America as a future president, who will?"
More than 1,000 students roared with approval and applauded while former President Bill Clinton smiled, whispered into TV host Jimmy Kimmel's ear and clapped along.
The former first lady said she appreciated the sentiment but was still deciding.
"I am very much concerned about the direction of our country and it's not just who runs for office but what they do when they get there and how we bring people together and particularly empower young people so we can tackle these hard decisions," Clinton said.
Kimmel playfully interjected, "She wants an answer!" Clinton smiled and asked the woman to "give me your name and number." The woman responded, "I will proudly run your campaign!"
Clinton smiled and said she was "obviously thinking about all kinds of decisions."
The exchange came during a wide-ranging interview of the Clintons and their 34-year-old daughter, Chelsea. The host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" jokingly asked the former first lady, "If you do run for president, will you reuse the old Clinton campaign lawn signs?"
The interview covered light topics like how the Clintons met at Yale Law School, the family's favorite TV shows -- the former president said they enjoyed PBS's "Antiques Roadshow" -- along with their upbringing and policy issues.
Diving into the thorny issue of climate change, Hillary Clinton said young people understand the significant threat of global warming and that she hoped there would be a mass movement that demands political change.
