Foreign policy tests Obama-Clinton bond
By Daniel Dombey, Financial Times
Clinton doesn’t like being told what to do by Rahm Emanuel
It sounds like a story with a happy ending. Eighteen months ago Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were at each other’s throats as they battled for the White House. Then, after Mr Obama’s inspired selection of his old rival for the top US foreign policy post, the two turned into a team, with Mrs Clinton becoming the most formidable asset of the administration.
There is only one catch to the tale. There is no guarantee that it will finish on an upbeat note.
Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama are now deluged by foreign policy problems and the secretary of state has to contend with an overbearing White House and her own tendency to voice inconvenient truths.
That said, things have gone more smoothly than anyone would have imagined after the two Democrats’ bad-tempered primary fight.
