Kerry named Secretariat of State
Kerry Silent at State Announcement (He didn’t even stomp his hoof, one for yes, two for no.)
President Barack Obama sang John Kerry’s praise today, as he nominated the former presidential candidate to be the next secretary of state. But after the president spoke, Kerry did not.
It is highly unusual for the person being nominated not speak at the press conference being held for him. Nevertheless, that’s what happened today at the White House.
Even CBS reporter Mark Knoller notes this oddity on Twitter:
Usually the nominee is given a chance to make some remarks, but not today. Neither did Pres Obama respond to queston about the fiscal cliff.

As Obama finished, and started shaking hands with Kerry and his wife, the press shouted questions about the fiscal cliff. Obama did not respond to the questions.

I hope he salutes again. He’s so sexy when he does that. And if he could just throw a couple of his Medals of Honor over the banister, I’d just swoon!

Wasn’t there a photoshop of the Addams Family recently, with Kerry as Lurch? Time to run it again.

obummer made the announcement then ignored questions from the PRESS. Kerry said nothing. That may be a good sign. Maybe now the press will pay attention or are they going to be compliant with telling the American to fuck off. The media must realize (?) that they are being told to fuck off also.
