Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State will Forge Her Legacy
Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State will Forge Her Legacy
Hillary Clinton is a smart person. I believe she has recognized that her Presidential aspirations can be consigned to history. She will be too old to be a viable candidate EIGHT years from now.
As Secretary of State in the Obama Administration she will begin to forge her legacy in history. She will begin to distinguish herself as a “statesman” rather than as a politician, as just another U.S. senator who unsuccessfully ran for president.
She has an opportunity here to re-make her image. She has an opportunity here to make new contributions in service to her country and leave a lasting legacy on the World stage. That stage has never been larger, nor the challenges greater. Peace must come to the Middle East in our lifetime.
She has a large challenge ahead. President-elect Obama has placed a lot of trust in her intelligence and ability. His agenda must become her agenda if she is to not disappoint him. She will not fail.
Along with Bill and his Clinton Global Initiative, Hilary will become a citizen of the World, transcending the limitations of politics and electioneering. She and her husband will have a major impact on the World of the future, and the place she will begin is by carrying the banner of the U. S. Department of State around the World.
I am so thrilled and never more proud to be an American than right now. I think she is in the position she was meant to be.
