You bet. I’d seen it this morning and thought others might want to view comments made there as well.

Take care.

Could they have been involved with Hillary's foreign policy scams and decided to run for cover?

Maybe connected to the Panama Papers disclosure?

This guy’s a sweetheart.

John Feeley was sworn in as the U.S. Ambassador to Panama on January 15, 2016, and assumed his post in early February. He is a career diplomat who has focused much of his work on Latin American and Caribbean issues, both in Washington and in the region. Ambassador Feeley most recently served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs from 2012 to 2015, responsible for the daily management of regional policy implementation and the supervision of 50 diplomatic posts across the Americas.

Previously he was the State Department’s Summit of the Americas Coordinator, overseeing the substantive preparation for Secretary Clinton’s engagement in the 2012 Cartagena Summit, a role he reprised for Secretary Kerry during the 2015 Summit in Panama.

From 2009 to 2012, Ambassador Feeley served as deputy chief of mission and chargé d’affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City, where he managed a 37-agency country team that implemented the Merida Initiative. He has also been the Department’s Director for Central American Affairs and Deputy Director for Caribbean Affairs. From 2004 to 2006, Mr. Feeley served as a Deputy Executive Secretary in the Office of the Secretary of State, where he was responsible for managing information flow to Secretaries Powell and Rice, as well as coordinating their overseas travel.

Once they are accepted by the State Department, they are contaminated. There are X number of times he could be raped by fairies before he would begin to enjoy it, and justify his perversion to himself...

Yeah. I was just being a wise guy. State Department people are an insular community of the "proper people". They consider themselves: "smart", "attractive", "sophisticated", "tasteful", "liberal", "superior", etc. etc.

Of course they are none of the above. They are glued to Uncle Sam's teat for everything.

I'd like to know the backstory on this guy too. Funny that we are just hearing about it now.

John, in public service We look for men who serve their country, not a president. That’s why its called “public service”

But hey - nothing like slamming your boss - the POTUS - on the way out the door. Only a certain type of future employer admires that

Bye

Go now

(Ima bet he’s got a gig lined up making big money with some progressive funded organization)

12 Jan: WashingtonBlade: Career U.S. diplomat who promoted Latin America LGBT rights resigns
by Michael K. Klavers
Feeley was the principal deputy assistant secretary of the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs in 2014 when he spoke with the Washington Blade about the LGBT rights movement in Latin America.
He described LGBT rights as “part of the panoply” of human rights. Feeley told the Blade this position is “both my personal, but also a very strong policy statement from” the Obama administration that “LGBT rights are human rights.”

Feeley during the interview also applauded then-U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic James “Wally” Brewster and his husband, Bob Satawake.
Iván Chanis Barahona, a gay Panamanian lawyer who once lived in D.C., is among those who are working to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples in Panama.
Chanis told the Blade on Friday that Feeley was “very personally involved in promoting human and LGBTI rights” in the Central American country.
“The LGBTI community will mourn his absence,” said Chanis.
The Blade has reached out to Feeley for comment.

Thank you. That is an explanatory link. Not surprising.

I’m still questioning the invisibility of his wife’s past.

I’ve yet to find any data of Cherie Feeley. Nor any picture.

Wonder if she is really a he?

The ambassador isn’t supposed to serve the President, he’s supposed to serve the country. Or am I missing something?

He represents the country which elected the President. Evidently his leanings are 180 degrees out of phase with the country. He decided to go. That's fine and dandy. He'll be replaced with someone more in tune with what his country desires as demonstrated last November and presented today by our President.

Yes, Hillary did flinch a little with the Panama Papers.

There is some yet undisclosed reason for the Ambassador resigning.

Might be some non gay elements in Panama threatened him.
