Just read through this back-and-forth from an interview last night between Charlie Rose and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on her relationship with the president:

Charlie Rose:
Someone watching the campaign, the Democratic campaign, might have said there’s some space between how you view the world and he views the world, you being more hawkish, more something.
[laughter]

Hillary Clinton:
Well, look, I am very pleased at the relationship that the president and I have.

Charlie Rose:
What are you pleased about?

Hillary Clinton:
That it is very — it’s very collegial. It is personally, very positive. We see each other all the time, and we work very well together, and I think that we probably had people in both of our camps who were surprised by that and somewhat skeptical, but both of us understood what it is we had to do and do together given the array of problems we faced. So I am — you know, look, I’m very committed to doing everything I can on behalf of my country and the president and the agenda we’ve set forth.

Charlie Rose:
There’s no sharp disagreements between the way you two see the world?

Hillary Clinton:
Well, if there are, I wouldn’t tell you.
[laughter]

Charlie Rose:
That suggests there are some.

Hillary Clinton:
No, no, no. No, it doesn’t.

Charlie Rose:
But in the end it’s his –

Hillary Clinton:
Look, he’s the president, but what I really appreciate is we have a very robust process where everybody is heard, and there is quite a good back and forth, testing assumptions, you know, coming up with ideas. And on a couple of occasions I was kind of in a somewhat solitary position vis-à-vis the rest of the NSC.

Charlie Rose:
Look, just give me one example of that.

Hillary Clinton:
I can’t, but I –

Charlie Rose:
Oh, just one.

Hillary Clinton:
Someday, Charlie, someday. You know, in about 10 years, we’ll do this interview. But I went to the president and said, you know, “this is really what I would like you to think about, and here are the reasons for it,” and on one very important matter, you know, he agreed with me. And so, it’s not just that you have, you know, discussions between the two of us, which we do, where we look at things from different angles, where we try to come up with an approach, but it’s the larger team. Sometimes, you know, both the president and I are pushing the people on our teams to think differently and more creatively.

Charlie Rose:
All right, you have said you’ll never run for president again.

Hillary Clinton:
Yes, I said that.
[laughter]
