John Kerry tells his Russian counterpart "Just ignore what Obama says."

Though it went entirely unnoticed in the Western press, all major Russian news outlets – RIA Novosti, Sputnik, RT, and others – were only too happy to report on what US Secretary of State John Kerry said last week to the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in private: “Just ignore Obama’s statements.”
According to Mr. Lavrov, John Kerry advised him not to pay too much attention to the US President’s harsh rhetoric directed toward his state. As recently as September, during his speech to the 69th UN General Assembly in New York, Mr. Obama puzzled and shocked Mr. Lavrov by placing “Russian aggression in Europe” in second place among the world’s threats, behind only the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, resigning to third place the “brutality of terrorists in Syria and Iraq.” “Aggressive Russia” again was included in Mr. Obama’s world top-danger list during November’s G20 Summit in Australia.
According to a translation commissioned by the Observer, Mr. Kerry advised Mr. Lavrov to “just ignore Obama’s statements.”
Mr. Lavrov might have added that Russia did not need that kind of advice from John Kerry. Hasn’t ignoring Mr. Obama’s statements been Russia’s official policy all along?

After his next re-election, Obama will be more open to talks.

Kerry and Biden on the same staff. This is just too much.

Obama needs "Leading for Dummies"

At this point no one really takes obama at face value.

Is Kerry saying that Obama is just pretending to be tough and doesn't actually mean what he says?

Oh man.
That's what I call DISSIN' Obama.

Remember Kerry worked with obama prepping him for the 2012 debates. If anyone knows obama isn't a straight shooter its Kerry.
