Hillary Clinton for President - 2016

Guardian: Reports the next phase in the career of former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the article notes the following, " The former secretary's next moves are being closely watched for signs that she is running – or not – for the presidency in 2016. So far she has not stated an intention to do so. ".

Lets Get Real: 

Thus as the article notes Hillary Clinton has joined the speech circuit,  and will write her memoirs, the question is what next, in many respects the decision could be down to what happens in the 2nd Obama term, does Syria civil war lead to a regional war, does North Korea help Iran become a nuclear armed power, does this lead to backlash against the Obama team, and of course Hillary Clinton was his 1st Secretary of State.   Do the Clintons put some distance between them and the Obama Oval, does VP Biden really think he has a chance of getting elected in 2016, will President Obama understand that if his agenda has a future after 2016 then he has to pick a candidate and that candidate has to win, lot of questions folks, not a lot of answers, this year should give some answers, and the first might come from Israel, do they hit Iran, with or without US approval and what are the results in the Middle East.  Watch this space folks.
