Once again among
Time's
"most influential," our Hillary is riding a rising tide of
popularity. This year's tribute was penned by former Secretary of
Defense Robert Gates, a close collaborator of hers during their shared
tenure with the administration.
Tough.
Indefatigable. Patient. Smart. Knowledgeable. Superior political
instincts. Funny. Loyal team player. Finds opportunities in crises and
challenges. Skilled global advocate for American interests and American
values. That is my job description for U.S. Secretary of State.
Fortunately, the job has been filled for the past three-plus years by
someone who has all those qualities: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In a
world that is ever more complex, turbulent and dangerous, Secretary
Clinton, 64, has made a singular contribution to strengthening this
country's relationships with allies, partners and friends; rallying
other countries to join us in dealing with challenges to the global
order, from Libya and Iran to the South China Sea; and reaching out to
people in scores of countries to demonstrate that America cares about
them.
