Many got bent out of shape at Susan Rice’s possible nomination to Secretary of State and perhaps rightly so. But as far as the actual position as with most in the Obama administration, I don’t think it matters who gets nominated because they will all have to comport themselves to Obama’s philosophy and ideology – if they aren’t there already. As much as the Obama administration would like us to believe he delegates so much authority to his appointees, I believe he is probably in on many more big decisions then they would ever have us believe. And in the end that’s why I don’t think it matters who gets nominated for this position or any high level position.

NEW YORK POST – President Obama will nominate Sen. John Kerry for secretary of state, ABC News reported last night.

The Democratic ex-presidential nominee’s name will be sent to Congress, now that UN Ambassador Susan Rice has withdrawn in the face of criticism over her post-Benghazi comments.

ABC said the president plans to wait a few days to announce his new choice out of respect for the shooting victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

"Remember the Hanoi Jane urinal stickers? A great idea, but placing them is problematic."

Just for the record Jay, I still have a few 'Hanoi Jane Urinal Stickers' left from the box of them I bought years ago. As for placing them being 'problematic', not at all. Remember, there's a movie coming up with 'Hanoi Jane' playing Nancy Reagan. I might end up having

to go to the bathroom in several theaters in my vicinity.

Oh, you mean the John Kerry who when he healed up from the fake "wound' in Viet Nam thru his medals over the White House fence protesting the war? That John Kerry?

Kiss my backside, traitor! Secretary of State? Not now, not ever!

No, the (Hanoi) John Kerry that threw somebody else's medals over the White House fence. You don't think this opportunistic SOB would throw the medals he went to so much difficulty to award himself over the White House fence, do you?

Best comment I have seen on this subject. This is from Junius over at Weasel Zippers. Now if only the republican senate had a pair of balls amongst the whole lot.

Junius • a day ago −

I applaud this choice. This is another test for the Republicans in the Senate who are charged with protecting and defending the constitution, keeping safe our liberties, and keeping safe our country from the enemies within who seek to destroy us. John Kerry is a traitor, a gigolo communist who supports imposing a totalitarian regime over us, so let’s see how the Republican Senators treat this nomination. Demand to see his military records, his treasonous dealings with the North Vietnamese, his tax records, his statements accusing our great military of being murderers and barbarians, and his voting record in the Senate and then let’s see if all Republican Senators, repeat all, vote against his nomination. That means you too John McCain, you doddering old fool.

I am betting that once again the Republicans prove they are no longer a representative party for the people who vote for them.

As a Vietnam Vet my own personal opinion of John Fucking sKerry.

Line him and the traitorous Hanoi Jane F'king Fonda up back to back and execute them with the same f'king FMJ bullet! Make sure Jane is the one facing the gun though.

I wasn't aware that Rice was ever actually nominated, but hey... bring on the Winter Soldier. I also agree that Obama being ego maniac he is, I doubt that there's much going on without his approval.

I still believe it is Brzezinski who is running the Middle East destabilization plan that Obama rubberstamps.

Earlier this month he "coincidentally" mentioned both Hagel and Kerry for foreign policy roles.

Brzezinski said retiring Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel and former World Bank President Robert Zoellick could all fit the bill. He also said Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry was a Democrat who could wield the appropriate influence.http://www.politico.com/story/2012/12/brzezinski-obama-must-follow-thru-84618.html

Further connections between Kerry and Brzezinski (Brzezinski, an imperialist, has long been a proponent of beating Russia and China by destabilizing the Middle East)

He is convinced that the best way to achieve it is by destabilizing its border regions, a political strategy that aroused the interest of former presidential candidate John Kerry’s team who recruited his son Mark Brzezinski as its foreign policy adviser.http://thesantosrepublic.com/2012/09/zbigniew-brzezinski-the-man-who-covertly-created-al-qaeda-americas-global-domination-strategist-and-the-insane-plan-to-destroy-russia-and-china/

Brzezinski is one of the New World Order. A signature member. He is one of those underlings in the machine, who would love to have more power than he does. But he was not born here, so he is somewhat limited, in the power he can he can put forth.

But not being born here, is not an impediment to these people. They are adept at finding ways around that. Obama is a perfect example. The man was not born here. His presidency is not legitimate. I'm not making this up. There is plenty of evidence to support what I just said.

But the country continues to function. Even though, we have a president, who violated all the rules, and claims the title, while you and I both know, he's a total fake.

I have said this before, but it bears repeating. Obama is not the problem. He is merely the Poster child, of what is wrong with America.

You allowed this madman, into your house, where you live. The land we call, America.

And now you're surprised at what he has done?

Forgive me, while I take a deep breath.

I agree that whoever we get is certainly going to be an Obama flunky. It's the nature of the beast. Elections (even the fraudulent ones) have consequences. We wouldn't expect Obama to nominate John Bolton, after all.

Personally, I think Susan Rice would have been better than Kerry, but I feel she should have been punished in some way for her blatant lies on the Sunday talk shows. Losing the Sec of State position is that punishment.

So by wanting to adhere to honesty and truth, we as a people, get the worse of two idiots. Woe is us.

I believe it is Obama who is the flunky, hiring who he is told to.

Rice was set up to take the fall on Benghazi.

Rice was clearly set up by her boss, Hilliary, and her bosses boss, 0bama. When Rice had served their intended purpose, she was promptly dispatched. Then here comes the choir charging sexism & racism. Then they were promptly dispatched as well. Then, the theatricals complete, they all went out for a taxpayers-funded dinner.

Nukeman60

I agree. I also believe that they wanted Kerry first and foremost and used Rice as a diversion.

Valerie Jarrett and other invisible Blackberry buddies are the real power here. I often picture Obama, when he has to make a decision, telling people - "yeah, what she said."

The phony president is consistent with his nomination of a phony Vietnam hero.

I can only imagine how the other countries feel about him being Secretary of State. They aren't stupid. They know his service record, him protesting Vietnam, what he said about the Service men and what he accused them of. I think the only one he has ever served are his own selfish goals. The acronym SoS fits very well this time.

I had some friends serving over in Afghanistan when John Kerry flew over there for publicity photos. My buddies said that almost none of the servicemen and women would go near him and almost all of them avoided shaking his hand. Heresay is one thing... but when I saw photographs of how he was alone and left to himself over there... it really hit home. One memorable shot was Kerry sitting in the Mess Tent all alone, eating by himself.

You're right Scoop... it doesn't matter who Obama picks because as Michelle Malkin so eloquently put it, Obama's selection will undoubtedly be just another "crap weasel". And Kerry certainly qualifies for her descriptive title.

Kerry represents all that is bad in Washington.

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is docking his family's new $7 million yacht in neighboring Rhode Island, allowing him to avoid paying roughly $500,000 in taxes to his cash-strapped home state. If the Isabel were kept at the 2008 Democratic presidential nominee's summer vacation home on Nantucket or in Boston Harbor near his city residence, he would be liable for $437,500 in one-time sales tax. He would also have to pay $70,000 in annual excise taxes.

Rhode Island repealed those taxes in 1993. That has made the state something of a nautical tax haven.

Kerry spokesman David Wade said Friday the boat is being kept at Newport Shipyard not to evade taxes, but "for long-term maintenance, upkeep and charter purposes."

This has been an issue for a long time now and this fairy tale about maintenance and charter should be filed under the heading of "The art of hypocrisy - the advanced use of misdirection and creative doublespeak"

Hillary is using the same technique in her fainting/concussion/not testifying scam.

AmericanborninCanada

I forget where I saw it last night,somewhere on facebook, people were telling us to have some compassion for her, that she fainted and got a concussion- that we're heartless. I told someone off, telling them this true story...

When I was 8 months pregnant with my son, I fainted from the heat while I was at the kitchen sink. When I came to, I washed the blood off my chin and started making dinner.

I think Hitlary is more than capable of sitting in a plush chair getting questioned on Benghazi. At least by that time, she's had her prompting and knows all the questions and answers already.

If I can't make a joke about stuff like this, the anger in my heart would drive me nuts. I know real Viet Nam POW's personally.

Here's a little bit more history for you. If you wouldn't sign a confession (like McCain did), the North Vietnamese would not turn your name over to the Red Cross as being a POW. Therefore, you were listed as 'missing, presumed killed in action' by our government.

When Hanoi Jane visited our POW's, several of them slipped her little scraps of paper with their name and Social Security number on them, to bring back to America so their families would know they were still alive. She gave them to the prison commander instead and they paid an awful price for that. Forget what snopes or anybody else has to say about this. I confirmed this story from 2 POW's on 2 seperate occaisions.

Since the boss and the secretary are both female, it took them a while to catch on.

"Did John Kerry throw away his Vietnam War medals, or didn't he? In a newly surfaced 1971 interview with a Washington, D.C., television station, the young Kerry said he threw away "six, seven, eight, nine" medals. He said nothing about ribbons in that interview. "
