Is Kerry the most useless secretary of state in living memory? (VIDEO)

Incompetence hurts any organization. But it is especially disastrous when it overcomes an American president and most of his Cabinet. Yes, “incompetence” is the right way to describe President Obama’s administration. Programs and policies are not working, and damning evidence is piling up against Secretary of State John Kerry as the most ineffective of all.

There is not much that Kerry has gotten right in the year and a half he has held his Cabinet position, starting with his Senate testimony in April 2013 that elections in Iran are not “much different than elections in the U.S.”

In September, a New York Sun editorial, “Time for Kerry to Resign,” said Kerry wanted to see Syria “let off the hook for gassing its own people.” The Sun made the point that Kerry is now in a job where “there isn’t any room for blundering.” His bungling also forfeited whatever diplomatic leverage Obama had in trying to prohibit Iran’s uranium enrichment. Kerry’s negotiations failed to stop Iran, and the Syria talks went nowhere.

Earlier this year, Kerry slammed skeptics of man-made climate change, calling them “flat-Earthers.” The real truth is that warming is being caused by factors that scientists don’t understand, and there is no “consensus science.” The science is not settled, and the Kerry/Obama man-made-warming club is not being honest.

I won’t even get into Kerry’s fool’s errand to salvage the Israeli-Arab negotiations for Middle East peace, which have gone exactly nowhere — a shining example of diplomatic futility. A stunning indictment of Kerry’s judgment came with his suggestion that Israel is becoming an “apartheid state.”

I see it as a toss between Kerry and Slick Willie’s wife.

Kerry is clearly in second place on that one. His predecessor couldn’t even play the guitar.

Actually, I believe that honor goes to Hillary. Kerry is just the bloated Botox buffoon that comes after the damage done.

Not until he gets an ambassador killed through multiple repeat willful reduction of site security and hiring the enemy to secure the site.

Kerry is now in a job where “there isn’t any room for blundering.”

HA! John Heinz Kerry is the Inspector Clouseau of Secretariats of State.

If the world were a calmer place, John Kerry would still be out of his league as a Sec of State. But facing the crises we’re facing in Ukraine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, China, South America, and even Mexico, we need the A Team. Kerry doesn’t even merit a letter of the alphabet. And Hillary Clinton was certainly no better. She just had sense enough to bail before her incompetence became undeniable.

Kerry is Secretary of State? Who knew? I thought he was some Global Warming spokesman.

There were others that called Hillary the greatest Secretary of State in our history. Biden specifically said it of Kerry.

If you’ve got a MSM willing to white-out all your mistakes and gin up an endless stream of nonsense “controversies” (like the Redskins matter) to divert attention from the disasters you leave in your wake, you don’t really need “competence.”

Besides, how do we know this guy isn’t actively looking to cause a total collapse of society?

He is just so, so STUPID.

Anybody with a 6th grade education can see actually how moronic he is.

He and Joe Biden ought to start a comedy duo after we give them their pink slips.
