 I think there is no more important message delivered by this setting of the passing of the baton that American foreign policy, in fact, America is at its best when it can find bipartisan consensus on our values, not always on our policy but on our values and a commitment to the American people that those of us who have been and those of us who are now charged with the conduct of American foreign policy will do so in a bipartisan way, consistent with the view of the founders, that it takes compromise, it takes constant contestation, but more than anything it takes devotion and commitment to the American way.
