Kerry: Governing Is Hard When You Have to Go on 'The View'
5:06 PM, Aug 31, 2016 | By Chris Deaton
The way John Kerry sees it, there is no joy when the president goes on The View.
The secretary of state lamented the difficulty of governing in the modern media age during a visit to India Wednesday, nostalgically recalling the days "the big three" television networks owned the airwaves and assessing the burden of communicating the White House's message across a variety of media.
"If a president wants to talk to the nation, he or she has to go out and fight to find all kinds of different venues, which is why the President of the United States goes on The View and goes on David Letterman and goes on the night show and goes on whatever, in order to be able to talk to people in segments," Kerry said. "And it takes a lot longer to build it up, and you still have trouble getting people to be able assimilate and process facts."
The former presidential nominee said the diversified press made governing, including consensus-building, "harder". He took a particular shot at the "nanosecond" nature of Twitter—a much more rapid way of communicating than chatting during a coffee break the morning after the president delivered a speech.

Governing is tough when you can be held accountable.
Democrats brought it on themselves. Anybody with a brain knows showbiz types are flaky and prefers keeping them quarantined to the off-duty hours.
I am too.
The difference in how the President is treated on shows like the View is only dependent on which Party they Represent.

It’s also hard when you’re a blithering idiot.
Yeah, John, it sucks that there are now millions of Gutenberg presses out there now instead of just three. Impossible for the Uniparty elitists like yourself to control that many, unlike the good ol’ days when you only had to extort three of ‘em to own the narrative.
Kerry is tired of getting beaten up by girls.
He didn't - he was blown up, and then stuffed with robotics.
Can't you tell?
What a simpering little a$$hole!
The same guy who wore his fatigues to a Congressional hearing and lied about our soldiers killing babies like the Golden Horde(Genghis Khan). The people had a right to know! But now they do not. Their safety and security is no longer their own business.
What’s really hard Kerry-Heinz is going through life stupid, not realizing it and thinking everyone is laughing “with you” rather than “at you”!
Just remember John-boy, if it wasn’t for marrying into wealth, you’d be just another drunk begging drinks in a bar telling war stories about how you worked for the CIA in Cambodia.
*** “Du-fuss” ***
That served in Viet Nam
Purple Heart and Everything
*** “How did this doofus avoid getting fragged by his own troops??? ***
Wasn’t there long enough, but I’m sure it was on the menu
Who was in Cambodia in 1968 under the rule of President Nixon.
Does John f’n know that Letterman retired?
Did you ever fly P-3’s?
I keep thinking that I may know you
