One possibility is that the new person added to mix was McDonough - and he has a background on the issue. It could just be him claiming that area as his turf and she resenting having a middleman rather than speaking directly to Obama.

It would be good for her to join Kerry - though after advising the President directly that might be seen as not as likely to impact anything. However, Kerry should play a key role on the issue and it could be win/win for her and Kerry as Obama seems to have respected her.
