John Kerry under fire as Secretary of State takes Nantucket vacation amid Egypt military coup

As Egypt plunges into crisis John Kerry has been allegedly spotted relaxing at his holiday home in Nantucket for Independence Day.

The Secretary of State, who has just returned from a 12-day tour to the Middle East, was spotted near the July 4 festivities in the center of town, and on his yacht.

With the Egyptian military ousting President Morsi amid violent protests, many in Nantucket were surprised to see Mr. Kerry at his holiday home rather than in Washington.

He is staying at the popular Massachusetts island near Cape Cod with his daughters and their husbands, according to the Boston Herald.

Mr Kerry's staff claimed he was working on the crisis while on vacation and had been in constant touch with world leaders and President Obama while the Egyptian crisis unfolds.

'Since his plane touched down in Washington at 4am, Secretary Kerry was working all day and on the phone dealing with the crisis in Egypt,' his spokesman, Jen Psaki, said.

Since John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama were such avid supporters of Mohamed Morsi, whom the present government has deposed and arrested, will any of those three be allowed into Egypt at any time in the foreseeable future?

How will America conduct foreign policy now? Obama was booed and protested against at almost every stop on his European/African tour, so Obama and his diplomats are virtually personas non grata in every region of the world.

So why not let John Kerry go yachting for the next three years? What else can he do?

Ask him. He will tell you. On second thought, just be around him, he will tell you whether asked or not. He is not bashful. Also, ask him about his medals, including the Purple Hearts.
