In a greeting to the Iranian people on the occasion of the traditional New Year (Nowruz) holiday last week, Secretary of State John Kerry exposed a secret that journalists and academics have been agonizing over for the past six weeks: the fact that his daughter has married an Iranian-American who has extensive family ties to Iran.
I am proud of the Iranian-Americans in my own family, and grateful for how they have enriched my life, Kerry said in the official statement.

No argument here.
If you had understood my post, it was a comment made by John Kerry to an interviewer/reporter? in the 2004 election appealing to Muslims, and not something I said. So I do not need your statistics, I can research, that isn’t relevant to his comment.
My understanding is that John Kerry is half-Jewish. His paternal grandparents were originally Austrian Jews named Kohn. When they immigrated to the United States, they changed their name to Kerry, and did such a good job of concealing their Jewish identity that John didn’t discover it until 2002.
The daughters' mother was Julia Stimson Thorne, who died of cancer in 2006, at 61. She and Kerry divorced in 1988.

Goowiki is what I call the research most often seen on FR. It is easy and can make one look good, and I’ll admit to using it.
Not every comment made by a politician is formally recorded.
There are undergarments available for see through dresses, and I would have thought the etiquette police would have notified the Kerry daughters.
Do you mean Kerry missed his calling as a designer? lol
With over forty years of public affairs experience, at both national and state levels, I would agree, however I can also see cowpies before I step in them.
WE are so proud of you for that reason alone.
And you have a mouse in your pocket? Who is this imperial we? Perhaps you alone are imperial. I’ll be sure to avoid your navy and your arrogance.
The comment was made by Kerry on national tv a long time ago, and I remembered it....that’s it...so are you now the ‘thought police’ or just having a bad day? I did look for the quote but did not find it anywhere...that is not unusual with politicians.
I made light of your criticism...it wasn’t arrogance, just a desire not to start an argument. However some people have no sense of humor or must question everyone...be patient, those quotes have a way of showing up in unexpected places, and I’ll let you know where it is, when I find it.
You do not have to agree with me, there will be no test.
An Imperial ‘We’?, We, is a manner of speech if one is not alone, that’s it. My navy is the US Navy...and I am proud to have served.
the FBI has vetted U.S. government officials involved in national security issues, and it generally wont grant clearances to individuals who are married to nationals of an enemy nation or have family members living in that country, for fear of divided loyalties or, more simply, blackmail.

Check out article.
Thanks, George76.
yep, more simply.
Seems the Wikimedicians didn't think he's important enough to rate an article.
Thanks, cynwoody.
Appreciate the link.
I don’t believe there were any children born to John Kerry and Teresa Heinz. All children are from prior marriages. John twice married wealth.
Wait until they have kids and he decides to take them on a “vacation” to see his family.
Of course, we should have no worries about him passing along secrets, right??
