Oh, to be president...

Fun exchange just now between Sens. Kerry and Clinton...
Kerry asked about an incoming Obama administration's stance. Here's the exchange, paraphrased roughly:
CLINTON: [in response] Mr. President...
KERRY: I'll take that... [smiles]
CLINTON: [smiling]... President-elect-- Freudian slip [referring to Mr. President to Kerry]
KERRY: [laughing] We're both subject to those.
CLINTON: [grinning] On this subject especially.
It's interesting to think that Kerry and Clinton both tried to be president, got pretty close, lost, and then wanted to be Secretary of State. Being chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Secretary of State ain't bad.
