That Obama-Clinton Chemistry (Joint 60-Minutes Interview)

[bigtree]

2. we had much better than an Obama/Clinton presidency, I think

. . . with Hillary serving as SoS. That's just a more influential, substantive, and consequential post where we got to see just how independently dynamic her performance and policy turned out to be. If you follow State, you'll see a depth and breadth of activities and initiatives from Sec. Clinton which make for a notable and (in many ways) historic script for our nation vs. the world. It's really remarkable just how unified the two were on policy and how much deference and respect she appeared to give the President on issues and the details of his policies. There really isn't a more important and impressionistic position.

What was a hoot for me was the way in which Mrs. Clinton put the campaign rhetoric about her dilettante-like travels around the globe as first lady right in the can with her brilliant, resourceful, and unflagging stewardship of our nation's foreign policy.

I actually think she greatly enhanced her 2016 prospects in her role and performance (if that's what she wants). Despite the fact that she's always been a compelling figure, her persona has never had this much appeal.
