John Kerry

...JK has had huge FP influence all along, I find Clinton's role interesting. I think her connections and influence as First Lady for eight years became one of her (and the country's) best 'tools' for implementing President Obama's FP agenda. That, and her legendary tenacity served her, Obama and US foreign policy well, for the most part. IMO, there was a huge need to re-invigorate US support abroad. (GWB pretty much destroyed our reputation.) Having Hillary Clinton visible again did a lot to 'mend fences.'

But I also think Clinton has been implementing JK's long held FP goals, as outlined by President Obama. Now, with Kerry at state, those goals will be paramount. And the team of Kerry, Biden and Hagel are the exact persons to carry President Obama's foreign policy to the next level.

Happy New Year, DUJK!
