希拉里受訪稱美國需要女總統大綱
Hillary Rodham Clinton has told a German magazine that she will work to make sure the United States is led by a woman — even if it's not her.
Clinton told weekly Stern that the US lags behind countries such as Germany, Chile and Brazil because it's never had a woman as head of state or government.
'We are way behind you in Germany on this,' she said in excerpts obtained by Reuters.
'Of course I want the U.S.A. to have a woman leader soon as well and I will do all I can for that to happen, though I don't know yet if it will be me.'
Though the former secretary of state hasn't yet announced whether she will run for president in 2016, she has been busy promoting her new book, 'Hard Choices.'
On Monday Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor dropped by Clinton's book signing at a Costco warehouse in suburban Virginia, and surprised the former secretary of state.
Clinton shouted that she couldn't believe it.
Sotomayor told reporters she was 'just shopping' and decided to get a signed copy of Clinton's new book.
The Saturday morning book event attracted more than 1,000 people, including Democratic Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, Costco co-founder Jim Sinegal and a few former Clinton aides and relatives.
The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate autographed copies for nearly three hours. The former first lady kicked off her book tour this week, with stops in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.英國《每日郵報》報道，美國前國務卿希拉里在接受德國《明星》(Stern)週刊採訪時表示，她期待美國能迎來女性總統，即使並不是她本人，她也會爲之而奮鬥。
希拉里稱，美國尚未有女性入住白宮，無疑在女性執政方面落後於德國、智利、巴西等。
“在這方面，我們遠落後於德國。”
“我自然樂見美國儘快迎來女性領導人，雖然尚不清楚是否會是我本人，但我必將爲此盡心竭力。”
儘管希拉里尚未宣佈是否參與2016年總統大選，但她近日一直忙於宣傳新書《艱難抉擇》，此舉被外界認爲其在爲大選“試水”。
16日，最高法院大法官索尼婭·索托馬約爾現身希拉里在弗吉尼亞郊區好事多大賣場的新書籤售會，着實讓這位前國務卿驚喜了一番。
索托馬約爾向記者表示，她正好在購物，臨時起意要買一本希拉里的新書並讓她簽名。
15日早晨的籤售會就吸引了逾1000人，其中包括喬治亞州民主黨衆議員約翰·路易斯、零售商好事多聯合創始人吉姆·西內格，以及希拉里的幾位昔日助手和親友。
希拉里爲讀者簽名近三個小時。這位前第一夫人已於本週結束了自己一路途經紐約、芝加哥、費城等站的新書推廣。
