Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has dodged some version of the question countless times before, but that didn't stop a young woman from asking - and laying on a guilt trip, to boot.

"Mrs. Clinton, if you don't represent women in politics in America as future president, who will?" she asked during a Saturday meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative University in Tempe, Ariz., according to the Wall Street Journal.

Talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel, who was presiding over the discussion, jumped in: "To add to that, when you do run for president will you use the old Clinton campaign lawn signs?"

Mrs. Clinton, who was joined onstage by her daughter Chelsea and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, didn't bite.

"Look, I am very much concerned about the direction of our country. And it's not just who runs for office, but what they do when they get there," she said. "I'm obviously thinking about all kinds of decisions."

Mrs. Clinton, also a former senator and first lady, has said she's considering another bid for the presidency, and that she'll make a decision one way or another later this year.

Kimmel also asked Mrs. Clinton, who is 66, whether she and Mr. Clinton will have another child.

"Well, no, but I wouldn't mind one of those grandchildren I hear so much about," she said.

Chelsea Clinton joked about her mom's "unapologetic pressure, in public and private."

Quit introducing facts to toe...he finds facts unsettling

Turkey shoots down Syrian fighter jet...uh-oh

F-16 takes out a mig-23.

General Dynamics...woot

Syria can't do anything to Turkey, just like Obama can't do anything to Putin.

We should start an office style pool on when Comrade Putin invades Eastern Ukraine. Millions of perogies need to be liberated.

Mitt Romney convincingly lays out how HE would've stopped Putin.

He would've said "Look, Russia, stand down here". And then done some things. And Russia would've Obeyed.

I don't know if he would have done better with Russia or not, but at least he realized there was a need for work there.

“Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that al Qaeda is a threat,” Obama said, “because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia.”

“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War's been over for 20 years,” Obama said.

Even W, the great neocon, said he looked into Putin's eyes and saw goodness there.

Reason why we can't find the plane?

Global warming...

Russia's invasion and effective seizure of parts of Georgia took place on W's watch. Which ironically took place during the Beijing Summer Olympics, similar to Ukraine blowing up during Sochi.

Okay. As someone who is devoutly nonpartisan, I'm not moved or impressed with the, "Yeah, I screwed up but so did my predecessor - and he's from the party opposite!"

I haven't heard Obama say that he screwed up like his predecessor W.

I heard W say something about nuclear power pants.

I'm not impressed by this either, but there's one party that's proudly declaring that if only THEY were in charge of the White House then Putin wouldn't dare lift a finger against us.

Of course they are. Politics. But they aren't a concern. Only those in charge of shaping and managing foreign policy are. The repubs are in charge of sour grapes and rhetoric on this front - and nothing more.

That's "newkewler."

Heh. True.

If W was still President, we would respond to Putin's invasion of Crimea by invading Finland. Because inside every Laplander, there is an American, trying to get out.
