Already scrambling to confront multiple simultaneous international crises, the Obama administration stepped up efforts Saturday to avert another, as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on China and its smaller neighbors to take new steps to ease tensions over maritime disputes in Asian waters that many fear could spark conflict....

Keeps racking up the frequent flyer miles....on our dime....and destroying American credibility.

I can picture China and the others laughing at Kerry behind his back. Who respects the US nowadays?

[albie]

Kerry couldn’t “calm” a dead person. An absolute failure since birth.

[AU72]

Great, after alienating all parties with his Gaza ceasefire F***Up he’s going to return the favor in East Asia.

[House Atreides]

Well, he did such a great job in the Middle East, I’m sure great success will follow him to Asia.

Years ago, then Senator Kerry said, “Nothing bad happened in Viet Nam after we left.”

[Shady]

Some Tin Horn Dictator needs to get up and tell the world what a fool this So-Called Secretary of State really is....

I feel certain China will tremble when it is learned that Lurch served in Vietnam

Having a military man as Secretary of State projects a vivion of power

His name Lurch has taken on more significance as he Lurches from failure to failure

[Enterprise]

Help me out here. Does Kerry ride little girl pink bicycles, or does he sniff little girl bicycle seats. I forget.

Kerry is finding out what it is like trying to muscle other nations with no muscle and a bone head at the helm of a once great America.

See Kerry, the whole world is not impressed with your blabber and weak minded ideology.

What a horrible mess these freaks have made.

I just returned from China, while there I had a fellow on the street come up and ask if I was an American. I replied, yes. At that he told me that “Obama is pussy” “Obama weak man”.

I had to agree with that but I told him that just because obama is a weak leader not to make the same mistake Japan made when they made the same mis-calculation and bombed Pearl Harbor.

[fatnotlazy]

Shame on you! Kerry won three Purple Hearts. LOL

[hal ogen]

skerry and his predecessor, hitlery, are masking madeline half-bright look good. All three make everyone else who ever existed look good. Just who think ever thought that subhumans were up to the task?

[Carl Vehse]

Traitorkerry should have been indicted, tried, convict, sentenced and hanged for treason decades ago or any time since then. Treason has no statue of limitations. Do some traitorous president give this oxygen thief a pardon?

[bgill]

Those tensions should concern the US as much as the price of beans in China. It's obvious why Kerry got Hill's old job. He's playing the shill to make it look like her time as Secretary was performed to perfection and that includes Benghazi.

“Having a military man as Secretary of State projects a vivion of power”

You meant Vivian, right? I picture Kerry as more of a Sheila then Vivian.

[PoloSec]

In six short years America went from the most powerful nation on earth to almost irrelevant; a laughing stock if you will.

With the right leadership, we can restore America to its previous position in six short months, but there is no will of the people.

We can sit back and blame the politicians for everything, but ultimately it is a failure of “we the people” and the attitude of “there is nothing we can do about it”!

[Vinnie]

If the plane hits clear air turbulence and he hits his head, does he get another Purple Heart?
