WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, elevating the longtime lawmaker and foreign policy expert to the top diplomatic job he had coveted.
"He is not going to need a lot of on-the-job training," Obama said, standing alongside Kerry at the White House. "Few individuals know as many presidents and prime ministers or grasp our policies as firmly as John Kerry."

Wait a minute! I thought Susan Rice was going to be the next Secretary of State. You mean to tell me that Obama passed over a black female in favor of a rich, middle aged white guy? This is racism!!!

How about Jane Fonda as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State?

Kerry is one of the most rabid anti-americans in our Government,
and the Democrats want to make him SoS..
This is why I don't hire Democrats, because they're to damn stupid to know
who and what they're voting for.

I don’t know, I got back from my second tour in 1968, never met the guy.

Kerry's been working to harm his country...my beloved homeland...since his days in uniform and he certainly won't change course now.

When exactly did Hillary quit. I must be out of the loop, but I didnt remember reading about her resignation.

“Can anyone confirm the rumor that he once served in Vietnam?”
Yeah he was there...
Long enough to put himself in for a Silver Star, get his political ticket punched, and and take advantage of the 3 Heart Rule by repeatedly stabbing his fingertip with his “John Wayne P-38 can opener” until a drop of blood came out.....
all in ~ 3 months while the rest did their 13 months.......
Oh yeah he also got to fulfill his JFK PT 109 fantacy......

So Obama nominates Paper Cut Kerry - a traitor, and he does it on the day the world was supposed to end. How very appropriate.

I feel sure that Ff’inns first personell action would be to hire Jane (Hanoi) Fonda as chief under-secretary of state.
