I Would Rather Hear From Our Current Sec. Of State vs A Former Sec. Of State.....

I would rather hear from John Kerry about the sabotaging letter the Repugs sent Iran instead of Hillary Clinton talking about her e-mails. I think the question of Peace or War is more important - but that's just me.

Commented yet? Maybe some of these threads can chill a little bit and give people time to respond

SOS Kerry I am are is up to his eyebrows in negotiations, and I can understand why he would not go out of his way to comment on a bunch of loony republicans who don't even know what the law is, while trying to solidify a deal

The media is obsessed with Hillary's emails, so I have no doubt when she has a chance she will comment along with most Democrats on the outrageous letter

Women's rights are human rights and human rights aren't trivial. She is going to take questions after her speech on the e-mail brouhaha in the knowledge that while the same people will be beating the issue to death, at least Ms. Clinton can say she addressed it.


Secretary of State Kerry can hold a press conference whenever he wants to.

I'd bet a lot of money that Obama and Kerry would much, much, much rather be focusing on Iran right now instead of HRC emails. In fact, Kerry is in Europe right this very minute, trying to deal with Iran, a vital task for which that letter is an unwelcome distraction, and a potential danger to the negotiations themselves. Personally, I'm glad that Kerry is focusing on the negotiations themselves, and leaving the (necessary, but distracting) task of push-back to Obama, Biden, et al.
