US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said she is yearning to return to private life after she completes her tenure next year. During an interview Clinton said that she believes President Barack Obama would be re-elected and that she expects to leave her current job after a transition period in his second term. I am looking forward to being out of public life,whether it''s high-level appointments like this or elected office, the Daily Mail quoted Clinton,as saying. I have no interest in or no plans of any sort to pursue that any more, 63-year-old Clinton said. She insisted that she is looking forward to returning to private life. Clinton,who was beaten in the Democratic primary by Obama in 2008,has always ruled herself out of running for the presidency again. During the interview she made it clear that she wants to step out of the limelight after decades in public office.
