I miss our intelligent, dignified, statesmanlike Secretary of State.

2. Agreed

You're not alone in those thoughts.

[blm]

3. Imagine how the rest of the world feels. Except Russia - Putin hates those who he can't manipulate

or blackmail.

4. I miss the whole Obama administration

President, First Lady, the Girls, Grand Mother. The whole shebang

[dchill]

5. I agree, but the pic could have been ...

Anyone but Tired-rannosaurus Rex.

6. After what comes from this admin's SOS I might even prefer Kissinger

These are the brightest days of a dark 4 years.

The French chin, Vietnam activisim and riding a bike, what's not to like?

Tillerson is no Kerry, and he is not meeting the standards of an "Eagle Scout".

8. He's a great speaker.

Since Kerry was appointed I subscribed to the Secretary of State email - so I got everything from Kerry and now from Tillerson. Kerry could speak off the cuff in a different country every single day in a very natural manner. He was always friendly and gracious. Its got to be one of the most challenging jobs in the world but he handled it well. I can't imagine a country not being impressed by him.

Not that Secy Clinton wasn't awesome too, but I wasn't following her on a daily basis so I didn't read her speeches.

Tillerson's diplomatic history is talking African dictators into letting him steal their natural resources.

Thank you for responding. I stood with Kerry for President in days gone by.

9. Isn't that sad...

This whole cluster makes you even miss Kissinger and (can't believe I'm saying this) even 'W' looked presidential. I'm putting my head under the blanket.

12. Agree with all of you. Shameful

...and we have only gone 2 months...46 to go.
