(CNN) - I give Secretary of State Hillary Clinton an A. She is off to a terrific start.

She's helping the president rebuild alliances across the world. She's helped to reset our agenda which many of our allies.

I also disagree with those that who criticize her for apologizing for past U.S. actions.
The United States government depends on having a leader that keeps his word, and a country that keeps its promises.

For too long we were bullies across this world.
