Come 2014, the world will know if Hillary Clinton has decided to run for the presidency.

In an interview with Barbara Walters on ABC, Mrs. Clinton said: “I will look carefully at what I think I can do and make that decision sometime next year.”

The “Most Fascinating Person of 2013,” according to Ms. Walters’ list, insisted she’s not yet made up her mind about the White House – though many political insiders say all signs point to a second presidential campaign.

But the former secretary of state – who famously blurted “what difference does it make” during congressional testimony to discern the truths about the Benghazi terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2012 – said the decision is more difficult than simply saying yay or nay, Politico reported.

“It’s such a difficult decision, and it’s one that I’m not going to rush into and I don’t think we should be looking at the next election,” she old ABC. “I think we should be looking at the work that we have today,” like unemployment, food stamps and the economy.

She also said that she was enjoying her time away from government service.

“I knew that I wanted to get off this high wire that I had been on for so long,” she said, Politico reported. And her husband, meanwhile, only wants her to “do what I think is right.”
