I too was concerned when President Obama seemed to play politics with the cabinet position of Secretary of State. Mrs. Clinton always seened like a weak choice for this job. I continue to wait and see her prove herself, but so far I have not been impressed. It takes a receptive attitude and a grasp for other peoples feelings along with great foreign policy knowledge to do the job of Secretary of State and I do not think Secretary Clinton is in her eliment here. Our nation should be greatful that Senator Kerry is willing to take on some of the roles that should be understaken by our Secretary of State. Our nation is better for his willingness to be a true team player.

I thought John Kerry was the obvious choice for Secretary of State and would have made a solid Secretary of Defense, that Wesley Clark was the obvious SecDef and would have made a solid SecState, and the Bill Richardson would be very adequate as SecState. I was shocked as all get out when Hillary got it, and while it makes excellent political sense for Obama I’m not sure it’s been the best thing for the country. The biggest Clinton accomplishment in foreign affairs was Bill Clinton in North Korea.

Nor am I happy with Robert Gates, who despite all the bipartisan respect he gets now is primarily famous for turning in the kind of intelligence reports he thought the president would want to read when he was with the CIA.
