While some of us were watching Margaret Thatcher's funeral this
morning, from which the Clintons, the Bushes, and the Obamas were all
notably absent, on another channel President Obama was talking to
Savannah Guthrie about his former secretary of state. Proving that he
has mastered the fancy footwork involved in dancing around Hillary
Clinton 2016 speculation, Obama accomplished a creditable sidestep on
the
Today Show as
HuffPo reports.

President Barack Obama couldn't avoid questions about Hillary Clinton potentially running for president in 2016 during a recent interview on NBC's "Today" show.
Speaking with NBC's Savannah Guthrie in an interview recorded last

anything about Clinton's White House plans. But he also appeared happy
to praise his former secretary of state, who departed the administration earlier this year.
"Do you miss her around here?" Guthrie asked.
"I do," Obama responded. "She's earned her rest and I know that she's
going to be able -- whatever she does -- to continue to be a leader and
an incredibly positive force for the causes I care about and that she
cares about all around the world."
