What I'll say to John Kerry when I meet him:

Thank you for winning the election; you’ve taken the country out of the hands of a truly dangerous regime and we have no limits of appreciation to you for that. We know what really goes on behind the closed doors of government. We ask you this: No matter what powerful influences you ultimately base your decisions on, no matter who’s interests the policies you choose are intended to benefit, please just take one quiet moment to consider the interests of the American people. We don’t expect you to eradicate business-as-usual from the political system; we know that there is a powerful thread woven into the fabric of the American government that is out of our reach. We simply ask that you do us the subtle courtesy of momentarily reflecting upon what it is that we the people would wish for before you proceed to appease the desires of those whose favor you are bound to. That moment is all we will ask you for.
