John Kerry nominated as next US secretary of state

http://www.euronews.com/ US President Barack Obama has announced Senator John Kerry as his nomination to replace Hillary Clinton as the next secretary of state.

His turn came after Susan Rice, America's ambassador to the UN, withdrew from consideration last week.

As he made the announcement on Friday, Obama paid tribute to Kerry's four decade-long political career:

"Over these many years, John's earned the respect and confidence of leaders around the world. He is not going to need a lot of on-the-job training.

"He has earned the respect and trust of his Senate colleagues - Democrats and Republicans. I think it
is fair to say that few individuals know as many presidents and prime ministers or grasp our foreign policies as firmly as John Kerry; and this makes him a perfect choice to guide American diplomacy in the years ahead."

Kerry ran as a presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2004 but lost to George W Bush.

His nomination came after Hillary Clinton indicated her intention to step down in the new year.

The 69-year-old needs to be confirmed by the US Senate, where he will need to give up his seat as Senator of Massachusetts.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WANTS TO TURN AMERICA INTO ANOTHER BANKRUPT CALIFORNIA!

No surprise that California, one of the richest but most liberal state, especially in fiscal term, will be the first state to go bankrupt. Now Californian socialist model with its highest tax rate, strictest enviromental protection rules, and generous welfare and health care system is copied by Obama with his costly Obamacare for 12 milliions illegal immigrants who would be naturalized under Obama immigration reform.

Coincidentally Kerry and the Clintons are tied to the Bush regime going back to the Iran-Contra Scandal. In 2011, under fOIA we finally recived the truth about the Iran-Contra Scandal. The conspiracy theories were 100% correct. The Bush family ran drugs and weapons to the enemy, subverting the Constitution, to stage covert wars, using terrorism, and lied and covered up their own crimes. Bill protected the criminals. Kerry ran the commission. All fact. The insiders are chosen for the insider jobs
