WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 (Xinhua)-- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview broadcast Monday that she would not run for president again.

    Clinton, who lost the Democratic presidential nomination to U.S. President Barack Obama in 2008, said "No" several times when asked by NBC's Ann Curry "Will you ever run for president again? Yes or No?"

    "This is a great job. It is a 24-7 job. And I am looking forward to retirement at some point," she said.

    After the 2008 presidential election, Clinton accepted Obama's offer to be his secretary of state.

    Unless she challenged Obama in the 2012 Democratic presidential primary, Clinton would have to wait until 2016 to run again if she changed her mind.

    Clinton turns 62 on October 26.
