Obama, Clinton, Biden, Kerry & Rice - Are they up to the challenge?

[denem]

Which Foreign Policy team was better?

[JuniperLea]

1. I'm very proud of Hillary right now...

It's not easy, and she's had to walk a thin line many times, but she's doing great!

[denem]

2. And yes, she has clout beyond her office.

3. "Are they up to the challenge? Which Foreign Policy team was better?"

Which foreign policy team are you comparing them to? By Rice, I assume you mean Susan Rice?

Also, Kerry is a member of Congress, not the administration.

4. Post WWII

It's worth mentioning LBJ and Robert McNamara in JFK'a cabinet. Eisenhower installing the Shah of Iran.

7. Kerry is a major player. The WH/State Dept use him quite a bit.

9. That's true, but he is not part of Obama's team

This means that, while he has acted as an envoy for Obama, there are many other times where he explicitly has said he is speaking just as John Kerry. That is a significant point - and I assume you realize that neither Prosense or I would ever minimize his importance or his value.

5. You bet they're up to the challenge. BTW...

...it's not a competition. ;)

8. You guys have no idea

those names are masters at what they do, comparing them to the others is a disservice to them.

Welcome to the intellectual club of master craftsmen and women.
