Hillary Clinton Redefining State Department and Her Own Role (WaPo 8/23/09)

Amid all the distractions, what is Clinton actually doing? Only overseeing what may be the most profound changes in U.S. foreign policy in two decades -- a transformation that may render the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush mere side notes in a long transition to a meaningful post-Cold War worldview.

The secretary has quietly begun rethinking the very nature of diplomacy and translating that vision into a revitalized State Department, one that approaches U.S. allies and rivals in ways that challenge long-held traditions. And despite the pessimists who invoked the "team of rivals" cliche to predict that President Obama and Clinton would not get along, Hillary has defined a role for herself in the Obamaverse: often bad cop to his good cop, spine stiffener when it comes to tough adversaries and nurturer of new strategies. Recognizing that the 3 a.m. phone calls are going to the White House, she is instead tackling the tough questions that, since the end of the Cold War, have kept America's leaders awake all night.

I loved the article. Thanks for finding this one Hmg. It provides a clear picture of Hillary's ability to see the big picture and to find different and creative ways to address issues. Her ability to develop new and uniqu approaches and strategies comes through in this article. So does her ability to select quality people to help accomplish goals. MSM has failed to give her the credit she deserves - what a shock! But, this article praises the work she is doing, and emphasizes that she is her own person.
