In spite of the Senate Republicans.

Hillary Clinton has big shoes to fill. I am sure Kerry will do so. Barack Obama makes some very good choices. With respect to the Secretary of State, our president has done very well indeed. It's only the most important cabinet position.

My president, you've chosen well.
