So, after pictures showed that Secretary of State Kerry was indeed out yachting and kayaking on the day of the military coup in Egypt, a Department of State spokesperson retracted her original statement that he wasn't doing those things, that he was too busy monitoring developments there...and she admitted he was.
Ho hum. She lied to us. What a surprise! No government spokesperson or politician would lie to us, would they? Why would they? To look better than they are? To cover their ineptness? To avoid responsibility...and recrimination? To gain our future vote? This must be a first.
The spokesperson listed the phone calls Kerry had that day relating to the coup, to make the Administration look better, I guess. But in my eyes, she made it look worse. John Kerry is the next to last person I would want handling any world issue...Hillary Clinton is the last one. Or is it Obama? I was glad to hear the Secretary was out relaxing and frolicking on the water. It is good to relax while the world is crumbling around you. Especially if you are Secretary of State. Too bad his phone was working, I say.
My daughter Kira is a writer and she is running a project called The Honesty Experiment in which volunteer participants promise to always tell the truth for one month. I suggested to her that it would be interesting if she got some politicians to participate. Silly me. What was I thinking? Or not thinking?
One further thing. What's happening in Egypt or other parts of the world is not our concern until America or Americans are threatened or assaulted. Securing our borders, getting out of our national debt and restraining an overbearing government, are.
