Kerry: Obama Administration ‘More Engaged’ with the World ‘Than at Any Time in American History’
PJ Media ^ | 5/29/14 | Bridget Johnson

Coming off a week where President Obama laid out an Afghanistan withdrawal timetable and put forth his foreign policy vision, Secretary of State John Kerry declared Thursday that this administration is “more engaged” with the world “than at any time in American history.” “I don’t think the president, frankly, takes enough credit for the successes that are on the table right now,” Kerry told PBS. “I mean, if you look at what has happened in Ukraine, the president led an effort to try to keep Europe unified with the United States, to put difficult sanctions on the table.

Sure, if you count “putting things on the table” as successes.

If my country and the liberty of its citizens weren’t being flushed down the toilet, these silly “ alternative universe” statements could even be entertaining. Right now, though, we’d be much much better off with the Three Stooges running WashDC for us.

Anyone who can even contemplate a comment like Kerry’s, is too far gone to take seriously as an intelligent human.

Kerry: Obama Administration ‘More Engaged’ with the World ‘Than at Any Time in American History’

We've waited for years for a real giant to join the fray. We finally have one.

Compared to John Kerry, George Marshall, Henry Kissinger and George Shultz were midgets. Being a modern Democrat has to be the greatest gig in history. You can say anything, just anything, and a bunch of reporters will relay it as if what you say has any meaning.

LOL. Kerry should study up on his history. The period after WWII was by far the busiest and most engaged we have ever been. The UN, NATO, SEATO, and a host of other international organizations were set up in the post WWII period. And with the emergence of many new nations that were former colonies, we expanded our diplomatic representation exponentially.

There was also the Cold War and our policy of containment. US military forces were stationed all over the globe. We had over 500,000 troops in Europe alone.

This: “the president doesn’t give himself enough credit”!?

Why is it important that Obama give himself any credit? For anything?

Good grief.

Politicians (like Kerry,Obama etc...) are the cause of most of civilizations misery and ALL of the wars in the world. The less they do, the better for humanity

I mean, if you look at what has happened in Ukraine....

Yep, look. If it's not a civil war, it's a proxy war with Russia. Great job.

Yeah but that statement is coming from the same clown that gave himself four Purple Hearts to run away from Vietnam, spent Christmas in Cambodia and called our soldiers rapists and murderers. So his record of veracity is highly suspect to say the least.
