The Irony of John Kerry.
Since the President canceled his trip to Aisa, he has send John Kerry in his place to assure that the United States will not support for Asia against pressure from China.
Acknowledging that Obama is missing opportunities for direct diplomacy with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and others attending a series of international trade and cooperation meetings, Kerry was at pains to tell Asian leaders that they should not read too much into the absence.
You mean like sending VVFP/VFP’s Poster child one why we needed to leave Vietnam and never come back? Does anyone really think that the leaders believe this promise considering how was handled Vietnam and how we are handling Afghanistan?

Might as well throw the baby out with the bathwater, right?
Jawn Fraud sKerry, “Know that we have your backs, pay no attention to us running for the exits in Afghanistan. Pay no attention to what we did in Vietnam. Besides, the Preezy had a round of 18 scheduled at Andrews this weekend”.
I believe this is taught in school as tragic irony.
Bad move Brack, you would have done better to send Jay Leno instead, he’s better at making jokes, get real Mr. Obama.
I saw something this morning about China stepping in to take the lead at this meeting, since the US President (bodaprez) won’t be there.
On another note, the House voted unanimously for backpay for furloughed Federal workers. http://www.breakingnews.com/item/ahZzfmJyZWFraW5nbmV3cy13d3ctaHJkcg0LEgRTZWVkGMPurhUM/2013/10/05/house-voted-407-0-to-pass-bill-guaranteeing-furlou
So if that is blocked in the Senate, I will definitely blame it on Harry Reid, the patron saint of hookers everywhere. I wonder if he knows that when a man has to pay women to pay attention to him, it’s a statement about how completely pathetic he is.
@ Ex-PH2….I hate to break this to you, but ALL men (less those switch hitters) pay women to pay attention to them. Some just call it marriage. 😉
@6NavCWORet, yes, but they don’t normally get their women through Steve Wynn’s pimp connections. 😉
I’m putting this in this thread because the person who should be in the Asia-Pacific Economic meeting, instead sent an idiot and lying shit in his place. (There must be a reason that God lets these things happen, but I digress.) That the maroon in charge chose to blow off this conference speaks volumes about his delusions in regard to what his relationship is, not just to the USA, but also to the global financial environment. The US dollar is the base for trade relations everywhere, even with China and Russia. As much as China would like to be the cock of the rock in this, the Chinese government still refuses to devalue the yuan for the purpose of creating more favorable exchange rates for correspondent trading nations. The euro is gaining favor as a medium of trade. Iran, for example, will not take payment in USD, but demands euros. To ignore this fact is the same thing as spitting into the wind or irritating a skunk. You really don’t want to do either of those, unless you have another agenda. I know that some of you think there is another agenda going on, but as was pointed out in the article about what will happen if the US defaults on its debt, the possibility of the entire global finance community collapsing is extremely real. It’s less likely that there is any agenda at work other than feeding an inflated ego. To blow off an important meeting like this economic conference just to piss off people at home is extremely dimwitted as well as delusional. Especially with the communication system in place now, which was not available 20 years ago, there’s no reason to stay away from this conference. This kind of meeting is where international relationships are formed. To ignore the important of this, and to send a jackass in your place is a way of thumbing your nose at people you might very well need as back-up some day. When I posted yesterday some info about a mass quantity of gold shares (8,000 = 800,000 oz/gold) being dumped… Read more »
