Reply #243: It is not true that every time he speaks, it is misunderstood

There was NO ONE who was better as an Obama surrogate on multiple shows a week - both in the primaries and in the general election.

The fact here is that BEFORE anyone reads Kerry's rather unexceptional comment that likely was in response to a question on why the Democrats were doing poorly in the 2010 elections, they read the title which says Kerry said something that he did not say. Then when you get to the quote it is seen in that context. The point is that Kerry was there to announce some MA funding. As always, he was politely answering the questions asked. Here, this quote was very likely the only spinnable thing he said - and that read alone is simply an intelligent observation.
