Our new Secretary of State

From page A5 | 2 Comments

EDITOR:

When our new Secretary of State made his first foreign visit (to Germany), he made the statement that in America, we have the “right to be stupid.” Nothing exemplifies that more than the choices the majority of the voters made in the last national election, which was even more stupid than that exhibited by a group of our citizens who sailed a boat 60 miles offshore without any form of life preservers or the like on board. Our country is also now sinking with no preservation from Washington, rather the continual damage done there from the results of that election.

    Like the pig in a pant suit, kerry's only qualification is the fact that he has been globtrotting on the taxpayers dime for decades. Foreign leaders will have less respect for this clown than they did for the last easy-bake oven whitehouse hostess. We have abandoned all reality and replaced it with Dr. Seuss. Even the foreign media is laughing themselves silly. http://phillipsblog.dailymail.co.uk/2013/02/the-mutt-and-jeff-of-the-obama-administration-.html
