Recently with the release of the two journalists from North Korea, America's perception of President Clinton's influence has risen, and inevitably there has been a desire in the press to pit him against his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. There has been talk that she has kept a low profile, and perhaps will not distinguish herself in the role.
But of course the answer to this speculation is simple. She is working hard to try to restore the reputation the oldest and historially most prestigious cabinet position. 
Hillary Clinton has been working tirelessly to try to get the department under her charge back into fighting shape. She has also been meeting with foreign governments and participating as a member of the president's national security team. The woman has not been idle.
Central to her strategy both within her department and in her foreign polity strategy, Secretary Clinton evokes "smart power." '>Watch the video to listen to her explain why it is so important, and what it all means.
Do don't make the mistake of underestimating our Secretary of State. She might not be in a position to do flashy things like broker hostage releases in person, but she is wielding her unique influence both at home and abroad.
