Washington, Dec. 4 : Former American president Bill Clinton doesn''t want to take his wife''s Senate seat - but he might be open to working with her in the Obama administration.

Clinton told CNN he could be coaxed into a role if President-elect Barack Obama "asks me to do something specific - which I''m neither looking for nor closed to."

"I''ll just try to be a helpful sounding board to her, but I don''t think I''ll do any more than that," Clinton told the cable network in Hong Kong, where he''s wrapping up the latest conference of his Clinton Global Initiative, which announced commitments of 185 million dollars to world health and education projects.

Clinton and his wife talk "about everything," which he said has been "invaluable" throughout his own career.

"I think she made the right decision, but for her it was hard. She adored being in the Senate," he said. (ANI)
