Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a very awkward joke on Wednesday about her inability to turn down 'charismatic, attractive' men.

During an on-stage interview at the Economic Club of Chicago, Clinton revealed that she rejected President Barack Obama's offer to join his cabinet twice before saying yes.

Noting that she also refused former president Bill Clinton’s hand in marriage twice before she accepted his proposal, the presumed 2016 presidential candidate said: 'I have a history with charismatic, attractive men. They just wear me out.'

According to the Washington Post, Clinton confessed her weakness for handsome men while in conversation with venture capitalist J.B. Pritzker, who served as national co-chairman of Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.

Clinton was Illinois on Wednesday to participate in the event and campaign for Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.

The former first lady reportedly made an appearance at a private fundraiser for Quinn at a law firm while she was in town. She also accompanied him to a campaign stop at DePaul University before speaking to the Economic Club.

Quinn is seeking reelection this November and is in danger of losing to Republican challenger Bruce Rauner.

Today Clinton is in Philadelphia where she is scheduled to headline a rally for Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf.

Wolf is hoping to oust the state's Republican governor, Tom Corbett, in next month's statewide election.

During her dialogue with Prtizker on Wednesday night in Chicago, Clinton shifted gears to federal politics and railed on Republicans for shutting the government down last fall. The move forced her then-boss, President Obama, to cancel a previously planned trip to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bali, Indonesia, much to her chagrin.

'I don't care what party you are, Democrats never did that to George W. Bush despite our deep differences with President Bush on taxes, on Iraq, on so many other things, Clinton said, according to CNN.

'We never did it,' the former New York Senator told the audience.

Clinton went on to speculate whether members of Congress whom she believes are more interested in partisan politics than governing 'really understand the world' and 'understand what it means for the United States to lead and to be perceived as a leader.'

'Or do they just not care?' Clinton asked. 'Do they just have a whole other agenda that enables them to say whatever they want to say and spout whatever rhetoric they want to spout?'

The former Democratic lawmaker said members of Congress from both parties are guilty of putting politics before problem solving but placed more of the blame on politicians 'on the other side of the aisle.'

Clinton also said she finds it 'deeply distressing' that the refusal to compromise is now worn by federal lawmakers as a badge of honor.

'That is why it is imperative that you have people in business and other positions of responsibility basically say... "Get out there and do your job. Stay off the talk shows. Get back to the Congress. Legislate and solve America's problems," ' she asserted.據《每日郵報》網站10月9日報道，8日，美國前國務卿希拉里開了個不太合適的玩笑，稱她難以拒絕“獨具魅力的男士”。

希拉里在芝加哥經濟俱樂部活動的現場採訪中透露，她在最終同意成爲奧巴馬內閣成員之前曾拒絕過兩次。

此外，她在答應美國前總統克林頓的求婚前也曾拒絕過兩次。這位有可能參加2016年總統競選的候選人說道，“我同有魅力的男士們交過手，他們讓我筋疲力盡、難以招架。”

據《華盛頓郵報》報道，希拉里在與風險資本家J.B.普里茨克（J.B. Pritzker）的交談中坦承自己的弱點就是美男。J.B.普里茨克曾擔任希拉里2008年總統競選陣營的聯合主席。

8日，希拉里·克林頓在伊利諾斯州出席伊利諾斯州長昆恩的助選活動。

據報道，希拉里出席了在一家律師事務所中爲昆恩籌辦的私人募捐見面會。她在出席經濟俱樂部活動並講話前，還陪同昆恩去了位於德保羅大學的活動點。

昆恩正謀求於今年11月進行改選，但他有輸給其競爭對手共和黨人布魯斯·勞耐爾的危險。

9日，希拉里在費城停留，並有意助陣賓夕法尼亞州地方政府候選人湯姆·沃爾夫（Tom Wolf）的競選集會。沃爾夫希望在11月的全州普選中擊敗共和黨出身的州長湯姆·科波特（Tom Corbett）。

8日晚間，希拉里在芝加哥與普里茨克的談話間重點談到聯邦政治，她對去年秋天共和黨人否決撥款提案致政府停擺很不滿。那次事件迫使奧巴馬總統取消了預定的參加在印度尼西亞巴厘島召開的亞太經濟合作組織峯會的行程。這也令希拉里相當懊惱。

據美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）報道，希拉里表示，“我不管你是什麼黨派。儘管民主黨在稅收、伊拉克問題及其它事情上與布什總統存在重大分歧，但我們還從來沒有那樣爲難過他。”

希拉里還揣測那些她信任的國會議員是對黨派政治更感興趣，還是對真正做到“瞭解世界”以及“瞭解引領世界或被當做領導者對於美國的意義”更感興趣。

希拉里問道，“或者他們並不在意？或者他們有另外可以讓他們暢所欲言的議程，這樣就可以滔滔不絕地說任何他們想說的事情嗎？”

曾當選前民主黨國會議員的希拉里表示，兩黨的國會議員在解決問題時都把政治因素擺在前面，而對另一方的政客們嚴加指責。
