trudy rubin is the worldview columnist at the "philadelphia inquirer"; and susan glasser is executive editor of "foreign policy" magazine. >> well, trudy rubin, you heard the president just a moment ago say that hillary clinton was a great success as secretary of state, was she? >> i think it depends on how you define great success. if you are's talking abou implementing his policy os within the confines of the policy, then she did a good job overseas, carrying out his ideas and making a terrific impression when she did public diplomacy. because she's such a talented politician, even overseas. but if it comes to signature achievements, either any big achievement under obama's policy, negotiation on middle east peace, or syria, on solving still existing issues in afghantan an pakistan, apart from the pullout, or any doctrine of her own or signature issue of her own, i don't think that there is anything you can point your finger to. she basically was a loyal soldier who presented a terrific image of the u.s. abroad but not in a way that is going to leave a lasting impact, i feel. >> sua

. >> suarez: susan glasser, how do you assess her years within i do think there is a paradox about hillary clinton that as popular as she iss, everybody says she is doing a terrific job as secretary of state f you ask what is it that she las done, nobody has any idea what she has done or even what a secretary of state is supposed to do in this day and age. i think this phrase, implementer, is one that mcdonagh now the chief of staff in the obama white house but was the deputy chief security advisor, when i asked him who was really in charge of setting foreign policy strategy, in this administration, was it hillary clinton or was it the white house. he made it very clear the white house was in charge of the big picture and he described her as the principal implementer. >> well, the president is the boss. was she an effective advocate for the obama administration's worldview around the world? >> well, i means that's where clearly she gets marks. she had a level of celebrity star power, not to mention her absolutely relentless desire to travel around the world. we did it the other day of all
