        Kerry is believed to be a good choice for Secretary of State because of his reputation to travel the globe, visiting foreign leaders, on behalf of the United States, earning himself a background of relationship building abilities. Obama (left), being fond of Kerry's experience says, "Over these many years, John's earned the respect and confidence of leaders around the world. He is not going to need a lot of on-the-job-training," Obama says (Accessed 3/6/13: http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/21/politics/kerry-nomination). Obama is very confident in his decision and believes that the senate will be as well.
