'''Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger''' (b. 1945) is a liberal foreign policy expert who served as Deputy National Security Advisor (1993-96) and National Security Advisor to President [[Bill Clinton]] from 1997 to 2001. The most influential National Security Advisor since [[Henry Kissinger]], Berger was more of a pragmatic political advisor and was not a strategic thinker with a grand vision. Critics said he let polls drive foreign policy, and indeed Clinton did receive hood press. He worked well with Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]] and Defense Secretary [[William Cohen]]--they formed the "ABC group" and shaped major policy issues. He was a foreign policy advisor to the [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign in 2008, but received no position when she became Secretary of State.  He now is an advisor to businesses involved in international trade.
