He hasn't said it but it is clear that Senator Joe Biden wants to be the next Secretary of State. According to Newsweek Biden "was going to be John Kerry's Secretary of State". According to sources John Kerry was going to be Al Gore's Secretary of State. Gore lost, Kerry lost and Biden is working hard to make sure that Obama doesn't.
Newsweek reports, "Among the top items on Biden's agenda: making sure that Obama has better luck in November than Kerry did. That means, first, relentlessly attacking and counterattacking the Republicans on the campaign trail, especially on national security issues. And, second, relentlessly defining John McCain as 'joined at the hip' to Bush, as Biden put it in a speech in Washington on Tuesday".
Biden is Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate and an expert on foreign policy. Obama should utilize him in foreign policy and appoint him Sec. of State on day 1.
