34. I understand and I agree in opposing her for President. |

I worked in the UN system for 8 years and had many friends in the US diplomatic corp. I too wish that they would elevate our best diplomats into cabinet positions as they do our best generals.
Senator Clinton brings tremendous assets to SOS. I think that among the qualities that impressed President Elect Obama was her tenacious committment and follow thru. After the election you had to admire the fact that she continued against great odds. I hope that she will bring that same tenacious committment to solving the big issues in the Middle East. I suspect that is why President Elect Obama is considering her and it indicates to me that he not only wants to change foriegn policy but that he is thinking realy big and wants somebody who can handle a big challenge.
In my mind candidate Obama's most important statement was, "I don't want to simply change the policy of going to war, I want to change the mindset that leads us to war".
He knows exactly what he is doing. He is making an informed choice.
