Get out of the way, President Obama. John Kerry is also following in the footsteps of Jimmy Carter. In Kerry’s case, he’s emulating Carter by visiting other countries and then spouting off about his grand and self-aggrandizing accomplishments.
This is not sitting well with the Secretary of State.
Jake Tapper reported Hillary’s displeasure on his blog at ABC News:
There appears to be a disconnect between what Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator John Kerry, D-MA, are saying about U.S. relations with Pakistan. Administration officials, and Secretary Clinton, don’t seem particularly pleased by his recent effort in Islamabad.
Yesterday during his visit there Kerry touted that relations between Washington and Islamabad had been “re-set” after the surprise US Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil.
Yet today, when asked whether US-Pakistan relations had actually turned the corner, Clinton said there was a long way to go.
“We are working very hard to have an understanding with our counterparts in Pakistan about the best way forward,” she said. “There are important concerns and many questions that have to be addressed and worked through.”
In fact, Clinton made it clear that Kerry didn’t speak for the administration, offering perhaps a pointed dig at the fact that Kerry issued a joint statement with Pakistani officials that was billed as a joint US-Pakistan statement (administration officials insist this was Kerry freelancing).
Remember just a few short months ago when Kerry was supposedly being groomed as Hillary’s replacement as Secretary of State?
Now he’s called a freelancer. A loose cannon. A gigolo who marries wealthy women for their money.
Well, actually, that last one had nothing to do with this story, but we always like to throw it in.

Self important arrogant ass hole. I wonder if he interviewed himself while flying over?
It's time to try him for treason and sedation. He dodged it the first time he perjured himself and impugned the reputation of those who served along side him.
This individual makes me sick him and that gold digging wife of his.
Correction -- he's the gold digger, not her. He married for money to a garden variety limousine liberal, making money off the illegals out there picking her tomatoes, parking the yacht where the taxes are cheap. Del Monte Ketchup FTW.
Both are gold diggers. She just go her first with the death of John Heniz.
Exactly she is a gold digger who married a gold digger which is fitting.
Klingon´s a bit worried for her place, she knows even Kerry would do a better job than her.
Um, the most important piece missing in your posting and the ABC story is that Senator Kerry's trip was backed by the President and our Secretary of State. Clinton and Kerry had been in constant contact throughout the trip and Kerry went to great lengths to included CLinton in all the comments he made. And, Clinton is suppose to be scheduling a trip to Pakistan in the near future. The ABC story, is an exageration of conversations and is nothing more than questionable speculation.
Uhm okay... I don't think you and I read the same article, because if you actually READ the entire source article it doesn't say anything like that. So next time please do not assume that you can talk all kinds of lies and crap and no one will check up on it.
Links?
Who authorized this trip? The arrogance of Kerry, and many other pols before him (on both sides of the aile), to take these trips on the taxpayer's dime is just too much!
SMART Power!!!!111!!!!eleventy
Did we dodge a bullet in 04 or what? It was not that I liked GW Bush but compared to AlGore or John F'n Kerry he was the only sane choice.
Kerry didn't marry her for money, it was for access to limitless supplies of ketchup, which makes shoe leather taste better!
Awesome!
John Kerry.... Where have I heard that name before.... Oh, yeah, wasn't he in Viet Nam?
John Kerry -- a man who can kiss his own ass. No wonder Barry hates him.
That has to be, hands down, the most perfect comment ever made about JK.
"..just a gigolo, everywhere I go...."
