John Kerry

(14,128 posts)I agree with your post. Sorry for coming here and venting about something where there is much ado about nothing. I have said before that Kerry will do excellent as SOS. I have never been mad at him. If it was taken that way, it wasn't the intent.
A small final, OT word. Agree that everything isn't about race or gender (i.e.the fuss over the First Lady's designer choice for her Inaugural ball dress, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it, she looked nice period). The Basic Black segment last week talking about President Obama not mentioning "black" in his Inaugural address was informative, but sounds like Smiley and West. Not to say that he shouldn't address the issues, but he is the POTUS of America, and the cabinet diversity thing meme was just hogwash.
I loved that SOS Kerry acknowledging this lady, and others in his farewell Senate address.
