Interesting Presidential Trip

So the question is, is John Kerry part of the Obama Administration?

John Kerry - 68th United States Secretary of State

Oooooh kay. Looks like Jaden is right. The ****ing Scot is right.

Edit - For those who may be wondering why Jaden is right, Cabinet (Google "Cabinet of the United States". You may find some presidential animal crackers) positions (Such as Secretary of State) are appointed by the President and approved by Congress.

I thought somebody would've brought it up given the embarrassing attempt doing a speech in French that he gave.

I guess Secretary of State is a bit of a non entity position in the administration then?

He's American. He doesn't believe in freedom.

It is a political bargaining chip and PR thing, that position is. It's a powerful and important position, for sure. But it is usually given to strategic "friends" of the incumbent presidential party (like all cabinet positions). It can be best seen as a "thank you" to John Kerry for trying to run for President. It's a consolation prize for losing. It's also to get a powerful democrat in a powerful position.
