A senior administration official said on Friday that President Barack Obama will nominate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. as his next secretary of state this afternoon from the White House.
The 69-year-old, who began his tenure in the Senate in 1985, is expected to be a shoo-in during the Congressional confirmation process and will fill the vacancy left by outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The expected announcement will come after the president's top choice for the spot, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, took herself out of the running for the post given the controversy over her reaction to the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on September 11.

Lurch will be just as effective running foreign policy as he is hauling in a 2-yard pass.

Nothing suspect about Kerry's judgment comes to mind.... Nothing at all...

I don't believe he “served”, he was there only long enough to get films of himself, reenacting his heroic panicky flights from any signs of danger and to get his flaky butt band-aided. The thought of that, whatever, representing my America brings a little bit of vomit to the back of my mouth.

“Great . . . two national traitors in a row in a very sensitive position. I feel so sorry for this country and what its turned in to”.
My sentiments as well. John Effing Kerry, who by the way served in Vietnam, shouldn’t be dog catcher, much less a Senator.

Yet again, a member of the elite oligarchy has been regurgitated back into our lives. This is the best our country has to offer?
We are truly in trouble.
