It looks like John Kerry - who served in Viet Nam - has his eyes on the Sec of State job
Question is will Obama offer him the job if Hillary wants to leave and take on Obama fir the job of President in 2012?
I guess it makes sense for Obama to make John Kerry - who served in Viet Nam - Sec of State. It would be harder for our enemies to build their bombs as they hold their sides laughing
AS EGYPT battles over its future, Senator John Kerry is negotiating his own.

The Bay State’s senior senator is running an unofficial campaign to become the next secretary of state. For once, he looks artful, as well as ambitious.
His recent opinion piece in the New York Times said what President Obama couldn’t or wouldn’t: Mubarak must go.
Kerry’s conclusion was elegant, but unequivocal: “President Hosni Mubarak must accept that the stability of his country hinges on his willingness to step aside gracefully to make way for a new political structure.’’
Secretary of state is the spot Kerry wanted when Barack Obama won the presidency. He lost out to Hillary Clinton and Obama’s “team of rivals.’’ But his fallback position as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee provides a powerful platform to press his case.
For months, there has been speculation that Kerry will get the job he wants in an Obama second term. Clinton said publicly that she is not committed to the position beyond 2012. She also tamped down speculation that she wants to move to the Pentagon as secretary of defense.
