Yeah, nuttin' to see in Egypt. Only the party his boss is backing are throwing people off of buildings.

C'mon, Kerry, get in the ball game and do what a Secretary of State should.

Throwing bucks at them and going yachting is not diplomacy!

You are full of it.

It wasn't the lead story on any major news source. What major news source gave more attention to the Obama Administration lie than the Egyptian events?

You are just upset that people dare point out another Obama Administration lie. Obama's promise to be the most transparent administration ever is a lost cause at this point, his supporters expect the opposite and attack those that try to hold him accountable.
To most of the major news networks this amounts to a game of trivial pursuit, much more important things going on in the world than Kerry's exact location on July 5. He is still able to contact the white house from any location, it's called technology. Surely you can come up with a better criticism relative to our policy rather than discussing minutia.

'Trivial Pursuit'? Nah... State's facile lies started a game of 'Where's Waldo'.
(Followed by Jen Psaki's round of 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?' when the lie was exposed)

I didn't say this was a big deal that Kerry was off sailing...clearly I said the opposite.

However, in a Representative Democracy, the public must hold the government accountable to lies. I know it is Obama the demigod, but we must restrain our worship of him enough where we allow ourselves to try and hold him and his administration semi-accountable.

It is our duty to tell the government when we catch them in lies. It is sad that doing so makes you upset...or is it just because he has a D after his name?

He was taking care of his wife Wednesday while yachting for the health condition that manifested on Sunday?

Really, I don't care that he was off sailing.

I do care that the government lied...it should be pointed out to embarrass the government and discourage them future lies. It isn't a big enough to deal to fire people etc...

What is really disturbing is those that excuse the lies, because it is from their party.

Sorry, but why would they be on the yacht if she was very ill? Wouldn't they have been at home for him to care for her? Whatever struck her happened quite suddenly. No reports on what happened to her but since it was so sudden I would think heart attack or a cerebral stroke. Funny thing about heart attacks and cerebral strokes - you can be laughing one minute and flat on your back the next.
