Pelosi on Hillary Clinton for president in 2016: 'I hope she goes'

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., shares her thoughts the mass shooting in Newtown and the fiscal cliff negotiations on Capitol Hill.

 

Hillary Clinton’s possible 2016 bid for the presidency won one high-profile supporter Tuesday in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Pelosi said during an interview with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell that she hoped Clinton – who will retire soon from her job as secretary of state – would make another bid for the presidency in four years.

“Wouldn’t that be exiting?” Pelosi said. “I hope she goes – why wouldn’t she?”

“She could be president of the United States, and she would be great,” added Pelosi, who was speaker of the House and stayed neutral during the 2008 primary between Clinton and Barack Obama. “And if she decided to run, I think she would win. She would go into the White House as well prepared, or better prepared, than almost anybody who has served in that office in a very long time.”

    I can't imagine the nightmare of Mrs. Healthcare as President. Would people be allowed to keep enough of their own money to buy a little food now and then, or would complete starvation be manditory?

      Don't these people ever get tired of running the country into toilet. When are we going to get some progressive young people in Washington to run these bastards out of town on a rail. The same people, the same failed ideology just gets recycled ever four, six and eight years. Just what we need in DC another bloated, rich, neocon butt hole to take us down another notch.

            Probably the first true statement out of Pelosi's mouth in years.

            Fake an illness so she doesn't have to testify about Libya, something that would make her look bad. But what the hell, encourage her to run for President.

            People called Romney sleazy but refuse to look at the people in this party

            Fake an illness?

            Have YOU ever had a concussion--I have - no fun.

            But then again, you haters will always find some type of excuse to forward your own agenda.

            I'd be willing to bet you are a man who wouldn't think for a second that a woman could do a much better job than the "MEN" we've had in office lately...

            Kimbo - I think pretty much anyone (including an emancipated medical chimpanzee) could do better than the last 2 Presidents we've had.

                She is a NO ACCOMPLISHMENT phenomenon perpetrated by the press and her own over worked PR team. She would be a disaster as President because she is a liar. As William Safire said in the NY Times a "congenital liar"...!!!!

                    Can we say jealous...haters?

                    Hillary would make a better President, coming in with a lot more experience and background and would absolutely do a better job than any other previous President (besides Bill of course!).

                    If you guys think that Obama has done a better job than Hillary would do, then I have some swamp land to sell you in Arizona, because you guys are fools!

                          Who proofs these articles??? I hope that's not what she actually said.

                          And to think I can't find a job with a journalism degree.

                            I like Clinton but I think if she runs for president it will create such a huge backlash for Republicans that they will mobilize against her to such a degree that she will lose. She has done great work but now she needs to retire from politics.

                            There were so many new young voices at the Democratic Convention earlier this year and I think those are the best options for the Democrats. Just look at how Obama was a virtual unknown until he made that speech at the Convention in 2004.

                                    The real cliff if the inability of the president to govern as a president for the people. He is governing as a black man and therefore lost in the sauce and can't figure out how to work with the people who basically know what to do! I told you all so, no can do president! Wait another 4 years to ellect the laughing stock of the world Mr Bite Me Gaffe! Same improvement..NOTHING!
