Secretary Clinton’s Foreign Policy Address, Council on Foreign Relations (video/text)
Secretary Clinton’s Foreign Policy Address re: Iran
Secretary Clinton’s thoughts on first 6 months at State
Last question taken by Gibbs in his press briefing concerned Secretary Clinton’s speech and her relationship with barry. He did not even refer to Clinton by name and pretended he didn’t see any of the speech himself.
MR. GIBBS: Christina. I’ll take one more.
Q What does the President think of the Secretary of State’s speech today? I know that the timing was about the same time he was talking, but did he see it? And what does he think of some reports that suggest that their relationship isn’t as great as some people would –
MR. GIBBS: I don’t know if they discussed that today in their meeting. But this story has been tried to be written for probably years now. They enjoy a very close relationship. I think the Secretary of State is somebody who the President relies on greatly.
She has an enormously important role in the development of and the execution of a foreign policy that changes our image in the world, some of which we’ve talked about here with the State Department’s Public Diplomacy outfit.
I think the notion that there’s some rift or disagreement is nothing more than silly Washington games.
The President — he was doing interviews during part of the speech, but I know that staff here saw the speech before it was given, and the Secretary of State outlined very forcefully the concept for a framework of changing our foreign policy in the world.
