President Barack Obama on Friday nominated Sen. John Kerry as his
next secretary of state, saying Kerry’s entire life prepared him
for the role. “He’s not going to need a lot of on-the-job
training,” said Obama, standing alongside Kerry at the White House.
"Few individuals know as many presidents and prime ministers or
grasp our policies as firmly as John Kerry.” If confirmed by the
Senate, the 69-year-old Democrat from Massachusetts will vacate the
seat he’s held since 1985
