Senator John Kerry said in his Senate confirmation hearings for
Secretary of State yesterday that the United States simply must resolve its
debt issue if we want other nations to respect us and take us seriously. "In these days of fiscal crisis ...
I am especially cognizant of the fact that we can't be strong in the
world unless we're strong at home," Kerry said. "The first priority
will be that America, at last, puts its fiscal house in order."
COMMENTS:
I seldom agree with Kerry on anything, but he’s absolutely
correct on this. With an attitude like
that, I’m very surprised that Obama nominated him.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Viagra causes men to lose weight? (Anne ~ Eureka, CA)
A. It has been found to convert normal white fat to brown
fat which burns off much more rapidly with exercise. I used to know a 325 pound guy who was a real
sex maniac and took Viagra regularly. He
had so many women and lost so much weight that eventually, he became
invisible.
Q. Do you think Kerry will be tougher on Iran’s nuclear
ambitions than Clinton? (Yancey ~
Vancouver, WA)
A. In this Administration all policy is set by the White
House. There will be no change in our
dealing with Iran. In fact, Kerry said
that he prefers to deal with these problems with carrots as opposed to gunfire. In my opinion, this Administration is reactive as opposed to being proactive. So, we can expect that after Iran nukes
Israel, Kerry will show up at the scene with carrots.
Q. Given what happened on The Hill with Wednesday’s Clinton
testimony, do you think we’ll ever know the story on Benghazi? (Kylie ~ Bozeman, MT)
A. The Republicans never asked the right questions and
never followed up on important issues and answers. They were not quite as effective as a
houseful of wet noodles in getting at the meat of things. I think they were even less effective than
they were with Fast & Furious, and we all
know what happened with that story…
or what didn’t.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
"Had I been President at the time, and I had found that
you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cable from
[Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens], I would have relieved you from your
post." – Rand Paul to Hillary Clinton.
