In this Sept. 12, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama, accompanied by then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington. Rather than keeping him at arm's length, Hillary Rodham Clinton is embracing President Barack Obama _ sometimes even literally. As she prepares for another presidential campaign, Clinton has aligned herself with Obama far more than she has disagreed with him. She had been expected to separate herself from the president to avoid appearing as though she'd simply carry out his third term. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File)
