Kerry Says Obama Administration “Most Transparent and Accountable in History”
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 23 May 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 05/23/2014 6:52:09 PM PDT by John Semmens

In a lightly publicized press conference, Secretary of State John Kerry told members of the Mexican media that “I believe President Obama will go down in history as the president who has held himself and his administration accountable to the highest standards of transparency and accountability.”

While GOP critics of the Administration have repeatedly battled to try to obtain documents relating to the numerous scandals—Fast and Furious, NSA spying, IRS mistreatment of conservative groups, the Benghazi massacre, and “death-by-delay” at Veterans Administration hospitals—Kerry insisted that “the fact that people are aware of these events proves the Administration has not suppressed all information.”

“Given the vast amount of power at his disposal, the President could easily eliminate or intimidate all inquiries into the Government's private affairs,” Kerry argued. “There are armed men standing by ready to pay a visit to anyone who displeases him. And there is no limit to the funds available for persuading witnesses to forget or manufacture whatever testimony he deems is in the nation's best interest.”

“Yet, there's been no 'night of the long knives,' no Stalin-like arrest of political opponents,” Kerry pointed out. “Senator Cruz still rants against the President. Rush Limbaugh still fills the airwaves with his criticisms. No one's gone to jail. No one's mysteriously disappeared. What more proof does anyone need?”

Yeah, yeah and I remember kerrianne’s story about spending Christmas in Cambodia too. Almost as good as those reports he wrote recommending himself for Purple Hearts.

Another good one!

I have to ask...do you sometimes laugh out loud when you are writing your articles? I know some is satire...but so much is what these yahoos think even if they don’t say it outloud.

So I was watching Fox News today and they showed Kerry giving a graduation speech and he used the term "flat earth society" so very classy....NOT !!!

It got me thinking about a girl responding to Putin today, I think at the State Dept., who said "it's not like right to do that" and with pajama boy using "Dude that was two years ago" WHERE ARE THE ADULTS IN THIS ADMINISTRATION?????????? It makes me embarrassed for our country that our govt. is a laughing stock.

Thus, proving once again, Kerry (who, by the way, served in VN) is an idiot.

Everything is great because it's not as bad as it could have been.
Wonder if I can use that at my next performance review.

LOL…this is so close to our absurd reality that it scarcely qualifies as satire.

Satire, spoof or whatever you may want to call it,

The sad part of this is not many people would be surprised if this was a true piece.

We definitely have the types of idiots in this malmisadministration that are totally capable of spewing this sewage.

Of course, given the chance, the same 50.01% would vote this bunch of fools right back in office.

Scary indeed, as I had to go back and look at the original story before I realized where John's excellent work really begins.
