John Kerry, The Tenacious Diplomat

[politicasista]

9. Interesting observation

Wish that Obama and Biden would dump the disloyal ones and have Kerry's back.

Wanted to say this above, but didn't want to send this thread into a tailspin. Hope that he can do wonders in the Peace process. However, the next regions he should focus on are Africa, Asia, or Central America (though I don't know what Obama wants to do). The Middle East just seems complicated and endless fighting.

As for Russia, interesting the ABC writer (LZ) tweeted a less critical tweet urging Kerry to speak out more on that issue, though leverage is an issue. IDK why people have an axe to grind with Kerry and never with anyone else, but that is another story for another day.

Glad to see that there are women and people of color that are being nominated and recommended, though wonder where there loyalties really are (minus Caroline Kennedy).

Your last post is spot-on. Been lurking at the President's diary and they have been very complementary of Kerry's efforts. Some of them are waking up to the fact that Obama should have chosen Kerry five years ago.


Not familiar with the State Department drama, but hear there are some complicated elements (i.e. racism, etc) there. Wonder if there is a way that he or any of his true loyalists (i.e. Wade) could help out there. Hope they can hang in there. With Momma T feeling better, hope he can hang in there too.
