John Kerry

I wish my local paper would cover our Senators so well. Reading the entire article, one would get a fairly positive but nuanced impression of the Senator. What I read from it was that Kerry has done some oversight, but very quietly. He isn't doing scream from the headlines kind of work, but instead has been putting a lot of effort in pointing out where the Administration could do better. And frankly, since Obama has pulled out of Iraq and is moving toward pulling out of Afghanistan, there really isn't a Vietnam to investigate here. No Iran/Contra scandal either.

I still don't like how Libya was handled in the Congress (one hearing only, and little else after), and I think a hearing on drones would be good (but maybe more from the Armed Forces committee), but other than that, poor Chairman Kerry has been hit with a scandal-free non-war monger President. There was real news in that article about the aid to Pakistan report. More of that kind of oversight, Senator.
