A senior administration official said on Friday that President Barack Obama will nominate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. as his next secretary of state this afternoon from the White House.

The 69-year-old, who began his tenure in the Senate in 1985, is expected to be a shoo-in during the Congressional confirmation process and will fill the vacancy left by outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The expected announcement will come after the president's top choice for the spot, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, took herself out of the running for the post given the controversy over her reaction to the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on September 11.

Great . . . two national traitors in a row in a very sensitive position. I feel so sorry for this country and what it’s turned in to.

He was against him before he was for him.

Senator John Kerry as next secretary of state

Here he comes to save the day....!

[Raster Man]

3 Purple Hearts, 1 Band-Aid. And a Silver Star for gunning down in a single fleeing enemy soldier.

I always marveled at the Dems reaction when one of their heavy hitters dies or retires. For us it's a loss but we know there are still good men and women to step up and keep our ideas alive in the political arena. For them their ideas die with the person.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee _ and possibly the next secretary of state _ says mistakes were made at the State Department in the deadly Sept. 11 assault in Libya, but Congress shares some of the blame. Kerry also faults lawmakers for failing to provide sufficient funds to the State Department.

Hey, hey, ho, ho!
Kerry! Sign your one-eight-oh!

[tsowellfan]

We just might see a President John Kerry after all. Bet he’ll be running.

We’d have been better off if the Mayans were right.

“Senator Kerry, I remind you that you are under oath. Is it not true that you were dishonorably discharged? And if not, will you release your records to demonstrate that fact?”

[Bitsy]

Well, he was in Viet Nam, doncha know...

Wasn’t that where he got his butt shot off?

[Old Sarge]

Tonkin is rotating in his grave right now...

Target that big hard to miss.

“Kiss my Arse”...”Mark the spot.- YOU are all Arse”.

Kerry just another in the line of losers and Arseholes the people of MA just have foisted upon us.

IF they hate “US” that bad, maybe they are the ones that should secede.

[EEGator]

They are saving their Hispanics for 2016. Mayor Julian Castro or Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Pass amnesty, then run one of these “diverse candidates”.

[Tupelo]

By best guess is, he will be confirmed by at least 90 votes.

[Happy Rain]

Horse Face is desperate to rise above his matrimonial gold-digger status and even though bribing the DNC to make him a presidential nominee (like Mitt did the RNC) failed in the end he has the inflated undeserved self-esteem to think he can advance any farther than a rich woman's whore...selling America down the foreign affairs river in order to please the traitor Marxist Obama is his latest lame scheme.

Sad sad sad.
