A White House official said they informally discussed many
issues during a private hour-long meeting in the Oval Office.
Clinton, who ran unsuccessfully for the Democratic presidential
nomination against Obama in 2008, said in September she would
probably decide whether to try again after the first of the
year.
Obama said in an ABC News interview last month he expects
Clinton to stake out some positions that differ from his if she
seeks the nomination. Obama cannot run again under U.S. law.
"She's not going to agree with me on everything," Obama told
ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos." "One of the
benefits of running for president is you can stake out your own
positions, and have a clean slate, a fresh start."
