CLINTON END OF SERVICE-PKG

Hillary Clinton said the traditional way of doing diplomacy was not good enough for the crisis the Obama team inherited:

WE HAD AN OVERWHELMING IMPERATIVE TO RESTORE AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. IT WAS IN QUESTION. AND IT WAS IN PART BECAUSE OF POLITICAL DECISIONS THAT HAD BEEN MADE-- PRIOR TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND THE FEELING THAT SOMEHOW AMERICA HAD CAUSED THIS.

From the war on terror - to the Arab spring - they faced upheavals around the world.

HILLARY CLINTON:

WELL, BENGHAZI WENT WRONG. YOU KNOW, THAT WAS-- A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE OF TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT BALANCE BETWEEN BEING IN A THREATENING PLACE-- OR NOT BEING THERE.

ANDREA

BUT IN RETROSPECT, SHOULDN'T-- A CABLE WARNING OF A SECURITY THREAT FROM AN AMBASSADOR IN A CONFLICT ZONE, SHOULDN'T THAT GET THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY?

HILLARY CLINTON:

WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO MAKE SURE DOES HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.

She made progress, though fragile, on her lifelong commitment to equal rights for women and girls:

HILLARY:

AND I WORRY PARTICULARLY ABOUT-- EXTREMIST GROUPS, FANATICS WHO-- SHOOT, YOU KNOW, TEENAGE GIRLS BECAUSE THEY WANNA GO TO SCHOOL.

BUT WORK FOR THE NON-STOP CLINTON CAME TO A HALT WHEN SHE FELL -SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, A BLOOD CLOT, AND EYE DAMAGE TEMPORARILY REQUIRING SPECIAL GLASSES. WILL HEALTH BE A FACTOR IN DECIDING WHETHER TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN?

HILLARY

I'm healthy enough and my stamina is great enough and-- I'll be fully recovered to do whatever I choose to do. But I don't have any-- decisions made./

ANDREA MITCHELL:

Are-- are you convinced that the original fall that led to the concussion, are you convinced that that fall was caused by dehydration? Have your doctors ruled out any vascular event?

HILLARY CLINTON:

It was virus. I had-- I had a vicious-- viral attack that-- you know, caused all of the unpleasant things that viruses can cause--/

IN 2011 - when SAVANNAH ASKED HER ABOUT RUNNING AGAIN:

SAVANNAH AND HILLARY:

: Will you run for president in 2016?

Ms. CLINTON: No. No. You know, Savannah, I'm very privileged to have had the opportunities to serve my country. And I am really old-fashioned. I feel like I've made my contribution, I've done the best I can; but now I want to try some other things./b

THIS TIME CLINTON WAS NOT CLOSING THE DOOR:

ANDREA:

do you feel that-- that Joe Biden, as the vice president, has the right of first refusal of-- as it were within the party or is it an open competition if you decide to run?

AN IPOD TOUCH IS PLACED INTO THE DASH HOLDER, AND WITH THE HELP OF PROBES AND AN APP. POINTS OF REFERENCE, CALLED LANDMARKS ARE MARKED ALONG THE LEG.

ONCE THE REPLACEMENT KNEE IS IN PLACE, THE SURGEON USES DASH AGAIN TO COMPARE THE KNEE'S MOBILITY. AND ENSURE THE BEST FIT POSSIBLE.
