I would hope the president would think a little longer about this from his perspective,

I think you're going to have an awfully difficult time with Mr. Bolton building the kind of support the United States needs today at the United Nations,

Asking her to stay on, at least until January, gives the president time to think these things through,

I am not a victim of a cruel world, I am an active participant in the world.
