The Next President: A World of Challenges

Last week I was fortunate enough to attend the video production of The Next President: A World of Challenges. This program, produced by CNN and AMA, featured 5 former secretary of states, listed below. The program will air this Saturday on CNN at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Please watch/tape it, as it was a very profound conversation between the secretaries, spanning topics such as climate change, Russia's growing power, the Middle East "problem," and personal feelings about the overall state of our union. The moderators were Christiane Amanpour and Frank Sesno.

Due to the power of networking, I was able to obtain front row seats to the filming. Excuse the quality of the photos, as I was so overly excited to see Christiane that I couldn't keep a still hand!
