John Kerry’s Confirmation Hearing Set for Jan. 24 — The Day After Hillary Testifies on Benghazi

John Kerry Secretary of State Confirmation Hearing Set for Jan. 24, Day After Hillary Clinton Testifies on Benghazi

Sen. John Kerry’s confirmation hearing on his nomination to be the next secretary of state will be held Jan. 24, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee announced.

Because the Massachusetts Democrat is the current chair of the Foreign Relations panel, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) will preside over the hearing instead.

It will be the day after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testifies about the deadly terror assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

President Barack Obama nominated Kerry to replace Clinton as secretary of state last month.

Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, Obama’s other major cabinet nomination, will have his confirmation hearing for secretary of defense one week later on Jan. 31.

John Kerry is another worthless dem is has been given everything he has. Mr “pass the global test” has done nothing the entire time in the senate. So he fits right in the obama administration.

“John Kerry’s expected cakewalk to the U.S. State Department has delighted American environmentalists due to his stand on climate change, but the longtime senator owns stock in two Canadian oil companies that have pushed for approval of TransCanada’s Keystone XL pipeline.

Federal financial disclosure records show Mr. Kerry has investments of as much as $750,000 (U.S.) in Suncor, a Calgary-based energy company whose CEO has urged the U.S. to greenlight TransCanada’s controversial project.”

Isn’t the timing just uncanny? Hillary has found many ways to avoid testifying and it, as many other important trials is delayed for unknown real reasons. We know why… She wants to run for President in 2015. God help us if she does, however; I think we would have been better off with Hillary, then with “O”. At least she’s really from the USA, born and raised in Arkansas. We still don’t know where “O” suddenly came from. Was he hatched? If he was born in Hawaii, then I’m the Queen of Englands sister! Some people who believe this nonsense must be from Mars. History (if we live long enough) will devulge the truth…..

I’m as unhappy with Kerry as I was with Hillary giving billions to foreign countries who absolutely hate us, but love our tax dollars. Oh, I’m sorry, did I say that?

I say go ahead and confirm the Viet Nam hero but, tie a can to Hillary’s tail. I realize it requires quite a large can but, the woman should never hold public office ever again.

  Wonder if any of those Libyan rebels and their guns are now being used in Algeria ?? Bet Hillary will be hiding that fact . Hope she doesn’t have a relapse of the Benghazi flu.

Another Friday ” executive order.” What a bunch of losers in the Obama II cabinet. Does he still have the Czars ? Don’t hear much about them anymore.

  Of course.. Valerie Jarrett and the czars are running the country. You don’t think Obama does any of the real work, do you? He is above all that… it is so boring, after all. He would much rather schmooze with Hollywood celebrities or play golf.

Hillary’s testimony will go something like this: ahhhhhm, I just can’t remember anything about that period of time. Must have something to do with my bump on the head.

And then congress will go; Oh, Ok then. You can go.

Then the media will report; Hillary was grilled for hours and treated like a criminal, all just to find out she had nothing to do with this.

Its a joke. Our government is a joke that only the stupidest of us believes. And the media is every bit the same.

Usual perfect timing for the Obama admin and the leftist MSM, they will use Kerry’s confirmation hearing to cover up and distract everyone’s attention away from Hillary, assuming she actually testifies and says anything of any value other than lies, distortions and denials.
