John Kerry and the promises he can’t keep
I guess the Obama Administration is finding their new Secretary of State a bit problematic, since he’s been jetting around the world making promises that the Obama Administration isn’t willing to keep, says CBS News;
Since succeeding Hillary Rodham Clinton as America’s top diplomat, Kerry has issued several as yet undelivered — and perhaps undeliverable — pledges to allies and rivals alike, proving a source of concern for Obama’s policy team. It is trying to rein in Kerry somewhat, according to officials, which is difficult considering Kerry has spent almost half his tenure so far in the air or on the road, from where his most dissonant policy statements have come.
The White House quickly distanced itself from both Kerry’s North Korea remarks and has now, since President Barack Obama’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Northern Ireland this past week, seen up close the strength of Moscow’s resistance to Kerry’s Syria strategy.
So, who is surprised? Certainly not me. John Kerry has been making promises since he went to Paris to talk to the North Vietnamese while he was still a commissioned officer in the Navy Reserve and tried to negotiate with the enemy to release prisoners of war – making promises he couldn’t keep. He’s not new at this.

No surprise at all.
He freaking sleeping with Hanoi Jane. Neither one of them are worth a shit!
Did you know he was in Viet Nam?
Kerry was a worthless POS in Vietnam, after Vietnam and now. But in keeping with Obama’s program of hiring nothing but the dullest and dimmest, he fits like a glove in this Administration.
I do believe he is the smartest man on the planet and the most qualified for the job…come on he was in Vietnam ask him he will tell you!
This is my shocked face. Really.
John F#*in’ “Lurch” Kerry, continuing B. Hussein 0bama & Co.’s perpetual record of arrogance, waste, incompetence, hypocrisy,stupidity and FAILURE!!
we need a Swift Boat Vet,spot light logo we can illuminate the sky with so they can finish their job! lol needle dick kerry is such a wasted POS.
Whether anti-military Vietnam testimony before Congress or making pledges to foreign powers – he consistently talks out his a$$.
Loved the jungle stroll with cameraman. It really doesn’t get better than that! What a guy. How many PHs, three? Four? And no release to show the world just what sort of wounds he incurred. That’s his right. Mine is to say FY Kerry you lousy, punk SOB POS.
What, exactly, did Hillary accomplish? How many treaties were sent to the Senate for ratification?
Kerry wasn’t selected for his intelligence, political acumen, or charisma. He’s progressive enough to believe in the globalist cause du jour and his wife is rich enough to profit from his activism.
Kerry is a traitor to the United States and the SOB should have been tired and put against the wall in the 70’s along with that (now) innocent bitch Fonda. Instead he did to the Heinz women what he did to the country and is not the poster boy for Obama. Biden, Hagel, Halter, Rice and Kerry. Makes an old conservative long for the days of Carter – NOT!
“What, exactly, did Hillary accomplish?” Well, she got 4 Americans killed in Libya, and covered that up. Then she stopped investigations into sexual assaults by a “State Department Security Official”, a drug ring operating in an embassy and an Ambassador hiring hookers in a public park.
sKerry was an obvious choice, from Baracka’s viewpoint. Though Hillary was a tough act to follow, I’m sure that sKerry is up(or down) to the task.
I think I will toss a medal or two over the White House fence (ALA Kerry). Then I’ll put in for Workman’s Comp for tearing a rotator cuff during the toss. When (if) I am denied my Workman’s Comp… PTSD claim is next. SOP for this crowd. I’m inclined to run with it.
Can’t stop giggling. Who is Kerry shooting in the foot? Himself or his boss?
@15 Ex-PH2, Yup, gotta admit it. You’re right. Kerry’s aim is definitely not on a par with Chaney’s. HA!
@ #15: Doesn’t matter much – it is we who will continue to pay for their insanity.
One promise that Kerry wants to keep is his boss’s promise: “After my election I have more flexibility.”
I’d say, look on the bright side, but I dunno if there is one.
This is no surprise for anybody who observed Kerry in the Senate. He couldn’t manage to attend committee meetings. This is a guy who thinks he knows everything, effortlessly. Contrary to what the Administration is putting out today, he fits in perfectly with BO and Holder.
My plan…toss my medals over the fence (ala Kerry). Then make a Workmann’s Comp that I tore my rotator cuff in defense of my country. When those bennies dry up…claim PTSD! I’m slow but learnin
Send me the money…I ain’t no senator’s son…nor married a rich widow!
Kerry is a perfect extension of his boss. Just another empty suit with a huge ego. This entire administration has accomplished absolutely nothing. Obama’s signature accomplishment, if one can call the ruination of the best healthcare system in the world an accomplishment, will prove to be the worst piece of legislation in human history.
How much do you guys/gals miss Hillary?
I suspect he smoked too much pot…and maybe he still does.
@21
Apparently SKerry cut an Obamacare sweetheart deal for Mass AKA “Bay State Boondoggle”…he shafted his former colleagues and than punched out of the Senate pronto before anyone got wise to the arrangement. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323393804578557802237872788.html
If I knew nothing else about sKerry his “get an education or you’ll end up in Iraq” remark is enough for me to dispise him.
Anyone who is surprised that Kerry is a clusterfuck as the Secretary of State needs to have sharp objects removed from their playpen.
Can you imagine the amount of work the next administration will have in straightening all this mess out? And, if it is a Republican, the Dems will be screaming about how messed up it is and how the Republicans can’t do the job. The moment the new administration tries to blame Obama, no matter the reason, they will be called racist.
That is, if there even will be a new election. Barack HUSSEIN Obama might just declare himself Emperor of America… or Caliph.
@26 ROFLMAO!! Quote of the day!!
In Massachusetts there are more Kerry “Do you know who I am” stories than you can count on all your fingers and toes and those of your spouse.
But these turds here kept electing him. It should come as no surprise a dumb4ss senator is now a dumb4ss Secretary…
