Hillary Compares Taking Obama Cabinet Position to Deciding to Marry Bill

Hillary Clinton said she repeatedly turned down President Obama's offer to appoint her as Secretary of State until she finally "just gave in"--similar to her decision to marry Bill Clinton.

Speaking at the Economic Club of Chicago, Clinton detailed her decision-making process after Obama offered her the position.

"I said no, and then I said no again, and I said no again, and finally, I just gave in," Clinton said. "As I said to somebody the other day, I told my husband no, and I wouldn't get married, and no, and just gave in. So I have a history with charismatic, attractive men who just wear me out."
