John Kerry online chat

John Kerry will be chatting online with the Financial Times on Thursday, Sept. 28th, at 9AMEDT.
The former Democratic presidential candidate will outline the “5 Rs” that he believes will make the US a safer place, in a keynote address and forum in Washington.

Senator Kerry will be speaking at the inaugural forum of the Center on Politics & Foreign Relations at the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, hosted in partnership with the Financial Times.

Join the forum live at 9am EDT (2pm BST) on Thursday, September 28, here on FT.com. Sen Kerry will take questions from the floor of the CPFR center in Washington and from FT.com readers.

Robert Guttman, CPFR director, and Guy Dinmore, the FT’s US Diplomatic Correspondent, will moderate the event.

Send your questions to John Kerry now ...on national security, US foreign policy, on Afghanistan, the war on terror and on next steps in Iraq.

Edited to add, this is the address they give to which questions may be sent: [e-mail]

5. Ironically

I won't even be near a computer 'til maybe 10, so will anyone here who does "attend" this chat let us know what happens? Thanks!! Maybe there will be a transcript as well.

6. I would be interested in that too. n/t

7. Where is the link to the chat?

I may be skimming too quickly, but I can't find where this chat is.

8. It says on ft.com that this is at 9 AM. Where is it?

I'm beginning to get mad now -- either I am blind or stupid, or they've screwed up on ft.com

9. I could not find it either.

[whometense]

10. I don't think they've started yet.

this is the link: http://sixers.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OWU2ZDNkNzFlOTZiNjQzN2MxZGFlYzViYmE1ZGExYzg=

There's one question up, but no answer. I think the scheduling was probably too tight, and he's maybe between venues. Or still shaking hands at JHU.

11. But I thought the chat was going to be on ft.com

I saw that, too, but they made it seem like it would occur on ft.com.

Okay, glad to hear I haven't missed anything.

[whometense]

12. they may be posting it in

both places.

I'm no expert, though. Online chats can be kind of technically rocky.

13. Nothing seems to be happening yet. n/t

[whometense]

14. I think they may have cancelled it

because of what's happening in the Senate today.

[Luftmensch067]

15. Certainly understandable! n/t

[_dynamicdems]

16. I was wondering how he was going to fit it in. n/t

[beachmom]

17. Hey, the chat is up now! AND there's audio (mp3) for the speech!

Here:

It's over, mind you, but it'll be fun reading. Looks like one lefty freeper question (ha, ha -- funny) that I saw.

18. This is making me cry

I'm listening to the Q&A and I'm crying -- not even so much because JK isn't our president right now, but because he knows EXACTLY what to do to make *everything* better and he doesn't have the power. Yet.

Yet, I say. Because I do believe that he is a force that cannot be stopped.

What makes me cry even more is not sadness, but how much he WANTS to help. How much he cares. So I suppose they are tears of hope rather than despair.
