John Kerry
In reply to the discussion: Ah, so Kerry WAS Obama's first choice for Secretary of State [View all]JI7
(90,578 posts)60. this doesn't really matter at all
if people think he is a jerk/dick for what he said, who cares ? it's understandable why people might htink that.
what matters is how he will do in his job as SOS . what matters is all the things going on in the world if he will do a good job in helping Obama to improve things.
and it wouldn't be a good idea to take on the job or be in politics if you are going to worry about every little thing ,e specially when they don't matter at all and have nothing tod o with your job .

I always felt he was the first choice. And, the end game is he will do the better job.
