John Kerry, following his boss's lead, will forgo part of salary to show solidarity for the federally furloughed and sequestered worker.
Remember this is the guy that docked his yacht out of state, Rhode Island, I believe, to avoid Massachusetts sales tax. Having just made a bundle on selling his Heinz stock to Warren Buffett, I doubt he will notice the loss in salary, though he will gain bragging rights with the boss. It will be interesting to see if all cabinet members give up a bit of their pay. I assume more are yet to come on board, although quite a few already have. In fact, it looks like John Kerry was probably embarrassed to show up at Cabinet meetings when talk of the sequester came up. Smile. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Cabinet.
Maybe that would be a good poll: to ask if mineral owners in the Bakken feel compelled to give up 5% of their windfall to show solidarity with the president. As my daughter would text: LOL.
