[10/31/16] hillary clinton says she is open to making first lady michelle obama a member of her cabinet should she become president. 




<u+201c>she<u+2019>s made it pretty clear she wants to focus on important issues like girls<u+2019> education around the world <u+2013> she and i actually talked about it when we were together in winston-salem [n.c.] <u+2013> and i want to be the best partner i can be for whenever she wants to be involved in government again,<u+201d> she said in an interview with extra released monday. 




<u+201c>i think she wants to take a break from it, but if she ever wants to do anything like that, i would be the number-one person.<u+201d> 




clinton, the democratic presidential nominee, added that she admires obama<u+2019>s work both in the white house and on the campaign trail. 




<u+201c>well, i don<u+2019>t know how anybody could have done what she<u+2019>s done for the last eight years with more grace and more of a sense of purpose but inclusivity,<u+201d> she said. 




<u+201c>she<u+2019>s been an exemplary first lady, and i know how hard that job is,<u+201d> added clinton, who is herself a former first lady. <u+201c>so i feel so close to her and i<u+2019>m so appreciative of all the help she<u+2019>s giving me, all the confidence and courage, because it<u+2019>s hard.<u+201d> 




president obama said last friday his wife would <u+201c>never run for office,<u+201d> despite her high-profile role in the 2016 race. post navigation
