The Obama Foreign Policy

Susan Rice calls the plays for Barack Obama at the United Nations. Could she lead his foreign-policy team next? Should she? "Obama made, in effect, a hard-nosed case for what might otherwise be seen as a dangerously soft-nosed policy." ...."In the entertaining parlor game of "Who would be secretary of state in a hypothetical Obama second term?" Rice is now considered the leader, or perhaps tied with Donilon, though questions about his possible role in the recent disclosure of sensitive national security information to the New York Times could threaten his confirmability. (Handicappers now place both in front of Sen. John Kerry.) "
