It was great to see that Teresa accompanied her husband to at least one meeting and that she was with Michelle Obama at what had to be one of the coolest events given for the UN wives.

It is great to see the amount of trust that President Obama must have in Kerry. Given that he was essential to the resolution on Syria, it had to be that he was far and away the best person to engage the Iranian foreign minister.

That while Obama lists his two top goals as Iran and the Palestinian/Israeli peace - and Kerry is the at the center for the US on both.
