Hillary Clinton is pooped! At least according to Ed Klein author of the New York Times bestselling book "The Amateur." Apparently just two weeks ago Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was pressed by her husband and Valerie Jarrett to consider replacing Vice President Joe Biden. But according to the author, Ms. Clinton said she needed a break before she started working on a 2016 presidential run. According to the Washington Examiner:
"As recently as a couple of weeks ago, the White House was putting out feelers to see if Hillary Clinton was interested in replacing Joe Biden on the ticket," Klein told Secrets. "Bill Clinton, I'm told, was urging his wife to accept the number two spot if it was formally offered. Bill sees the vice presidency as the perfect launching pad for Hillary to run for president in 2016."He made similar comments Thursday night to CNBC's Larry Kudlow. The White House has dismissed speculation of a Clinton for Biden swap despite a string of recent gaffes by the vice president.Klein, whose book is No. 2 on the NYT bestseller list, quoted unnamed sources who revealed that top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett put the vice presidency on the table during a lunch with the secretary of state. "The lunch was ostensibly about policy issues, but the subject of the vice presidency came up," he said. "Hillary told Valerie Jarrett that she was not interested in running as Obama's vice president."
In the end she made her decision because, she didn't want to be tied to Obama's left-leaning politics in her own 2016 bid and if Obama lost, she would be tarred as a loser.
More to come.New on Friday: Klein told Secrets that Bill Clinton is working fast to get a 2016 Hillary for President campaign up and going. His sources told him that Clinton is sniffing around for a major donor to offer up a jet for the potential candidate to use. Also, Klein said, Clinton is looking for somebody to take over the Clinton Global Initiative "so that he can devote his full time to Hillary's campaign."Klein has sources deep in the Clinton camp and he said that they said she is eager for a rest followed by a makeover. "She clearly is exhausted. She needs to lose weight and get her energy back for a four-year slog."He added that Obama has never talked to Clinton about replacing Biden. The reason, said Klein, is that Obama was afraid she would turn him down and Bill Clinton would leak the snub to the media.

This makes Hillary look smarter than her hubby Slick-- since she knows that if she accepted & became the VP nominee with Obama this time around, and they won in November, she knows she would not stand a snowball's chance in HELL for becoming president in 2016, and perhaps not even the nomination of her party, after Obama finishes the total destruction of the United States of America.
