Clinton is doing an amazing job as Secretary of State
I haven't seen this mentioned here often enough.

Of all the cabinet picks she has has so far been the only one to remain on the spotlight and the coverage is surprisingly flattering.
Of course I understand that her position (and her actions) are very relevant to more than just the United States but it is heartening to see this, as it obviously reflects on the Obama administration.

Well, I hope that there is a next time.....

12. The local New York
news keeps us informed on SOS Hillary Clinton's work at large and my friends and I here feel very confident in having her represent our country.

May all of Team Obama's choices in their Government turn out so well.

17. As one who was leery of her nomination in the first place*
...she's been hitting it outta the park everyday since her appointment. Kudos, Hilary.

* I under-estimated her international appeal, and over-looked her great gift for diplomacy. :)

22. Yes, you did.
The most popular US presidential couples overseas are the Roosevelts, Kennedys, Clintons and now the Obamas. Both Clintons are highly respected abroad, there are few places where I've been that the name "Hillary" doesn't immediately conjure HRC. She's so well known that the last name is not necessary.

I know she really wanted to win the presidency, but damn, SOS just seems to fit her like a glove!
