WASHINGTON, June 23 (UPI) -- The star power of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has played a subordinate role to the power of the White House in foreign policy, analysts say.
Interviews conducted by the Washington publication Politico indicated Tuesday Clinton has played a surprisingly secondary role to President Barack Obama in the formulation and carrying out of U.S. foreign policy, despite expectations that Obama's former presidential rival would be the brightest star in his Cabinet.
