Hillary Rodham Clinton today said that she and former President Bill Clinton "fully appreciate how hard life is for so many Americans," seeking to refine remarks she made about the pair being broke when they left the White House while on a high-profile media tour for a new book.
At the same time, the former secretary of state dropped another hint that she might be leaning toward a second run for the presidency.
Clinton said that she and her husband have "gone through some of the same challenges that many people have" and that they "understand what that struggle is."
Clinton said that she wants "to use the talent and resources that I have to make sure" others have the same opportunities.
In an interview on the day her book "Hard Choices" was being released, Clinton told ABC's "Good Morning America" that she and her husband left the White House roughly USD 12 million in debt at the end of his second term in early 2001 and were "dead broke" with legal bills that dwarfed their income.
It was the second time in as many days that Clinton talked of her interest in possibly running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination in 2016.
