Clinton: Tough campaign talk thing of the past

By Roxana Tiron - 07/26/09 08:13 AM ET
Hillary Clinton, once President Obama’s rival in the presidential election, said that the tough words she used against him are now water under the bridge.

“I don’t feel them at all,” said Clinton, who is now Obama’s secretary of State. On the campaign trail she questioned Obama’s experience and toughness. Differences are “magnified” during the campaign, she said on NBC’s "Meet the Press."

Obama’s “performance in office has been incredible,” she said.

Clinton said she is the White House chief adviser on foreign policy but that the president makes the final decisions.

Clinton is seeking to reassert herself as a key player amid reports she is playing a lesser role in crafting foreign policy for Obama.

She also shot down the possibility of running for the presidency again.

“I have absolutely no belief in my mind” that is going to happen, she said.
