Tony Lake
Obama for America
SENIOR FOREIGN POLICY ADVISOR
So who is Anthony Lake? From The Harry Walker Agency’s own website we get this background information. So, wouldn’t you think he might just be endorsing Hillary Clinton since he played such a dynamic role in the Clinton administration?
Anthony Lake is Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He served during 1993-1997 as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.
President Clinton said of Anthony Lake’s service as National Security Advisor, “In moments of crisis, in times of triumph, he has always been at my side.” As the point man of America’s foreign policy team, Dr. Lake strategized and implemented some of the most pressing foreign policy issues our country has faced since the end of the Cold War. Dr. Lake guided the United States through such geopolitical hot spots as Bosnia, North Korea, Haiti, Iraq, Somalia and China while extending the reach of democracy throughout the globe.
The words “practice of DIPLOMACY” jumped out at me. I really don’t have anything more to add to this. What more is there to say?
Mr. Lake speaks for all of us who want a sound, rational, and more diplomatic approach to international relations. If Mr. Lake is convinced that Senator Obama is the man to lead us in that direction then I believe that we’ll all be better off if that 3AM phone call is answered by Barack Obama.
