Obama Picks John Kerry To Succeed Hillary Clinton As State Leader!

Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts) was the 2004 U.S. Presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. He and John Edwards, then North Carolina senator both were handed a defeat by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Kerry paved the way for Barack Obama to become the president. In 2004, Barack Obama, then a state legislator made a remarkable speech to the nation. He went on to become a U.S. Senator from Illinois. After a few years in, presidential aspects swirled around Barack Obama. In 2008, Barack Obama became the Democratic nominee and won the election comfortably.

The 2012 election went to Barack Obama and now he's looking forward to replacing members of his cabinet.

And now against Republicans, Barack Obama is looking for another round of battles in his second term. His potential pick Susan Rice didn't get through the gridlock. She was bucked by Republicans after her appearance on Sunday programs about the tragedy in Benghazi.

So what was left for the president?

Nominate the senator from Massachusetts, put the seat once again in a competitive race for the Republicans. This will be likely an easy confirmation by the Senate, although some Republicans and conservatives will try to revisit 2004 again!

Senator Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts) is reconsidering his chances of winning his seat.

Senator John Kerry is a fixture of the U.S. Senate. Kerry was born in Aurora, Colorado. He attended boarding school in Massachusetts and New Hampshire and went on to graduate from Yale University class of 1966, where he majored in political science and became a member of the influential Skull and Bones secret society. He enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1966, and during 1968-1969 served an abbreviated four-month tour of duty in South Vietnam as officer-in-charge (OIC) of a Swift Boat. For that service, he was awarded combat medals that include the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts. Securing an early return to the United States, Kerry joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War in which he served as a nationally recognized spokesman and as an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War. He appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs where he deemed United States war policy in Vietnam to be the cause of "war crimes".

Kerry coined the term "SWIFTBOATED" as the conservative activists targeted him for his military service.

Kerry didn't fight against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign. They single handed Kerry a loss and tarnished him as a "Flip-Flopper".

That continues among most candidates from Massachusetts. The only candidate from Massachusetts to win a presidential election is John F. Kennedy.

• Daniel Webster
• Robert F Kennedy
• John Kerry
• Ted Kennedy
• Michael Dukakis
• Mitt Romney 

George H.W. Bush born in Massachusetts. He was the Vice President of The United States under Ronald Reagan. Bush won his full term as president but lost reelection.

Congratulations to John Kerry. He will be a great addition to the Obama team.
