This is good news. Better news would be if he would just take off. Here’s to hoping Ambassador John Bolton is in talks. That would be the game-changer the State Department is desperately in need of.

Tillerson ‘taking a little time off’ amid exit rumors
By Chris Perez, The NY Post, July 25, 2017 |
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is “taking a little time off” amid reports that he’s sick of being in Washington, a spokesperson says.
Rumors have been swirling about the former Exxon-Mobil CEO’s frustration with the Trump administration and its involvement in foreign policy decisions after two sources told CNN they wouldn’t be surprised if there was a “Rexit” on the horizon.
State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert on Tuesday refused to say whether Tillerson was happy in his position, but she did reveal that he had been on vacation this week — despite there being numerous foreign policy issues to deal with.
“Just taking a little time off,” Nauert said. “He’s got a lot of work, he just came back from that mega trip overseas as you all well know, many of you were over there with the G20. So he’s entitled to take a few days himself.”
Nahal Toosi, a foreign affairs correspondent at Politico, tweeted that Tillerson had “Gone to Texas” — but was still working remotely.
“He’s fine,” Toosi said. “He’s working 20 hour days, but just not in D.C.”
Nauert insisted Tuesday that Tillerson was perfectly fine with being secretary of state and wasn’t going anywhere, despite the reports.
“The secretary has been very clear he intends to stay here at the State Department,” she said. “We have a lot of work that is left to be done ahead of us. He recognizes that. He’s deeply engaged in that work.”
Nauert added that Tillerson “does, however, serve at the pleasure of the president, just as any cabinet official would.”
She claimed he had been planning the vacation for quite some time — and that it was in no way related to the reports of his displeasure with the White House.
“The secretary, as do all other cabinet officials, meets with the president and the president’s national security advisers and cabinet members,” Nauert said. “That is something that’s normal, that’s customary. They sit down, they have a healthy dialogue and conversations about the heaviest and the weightiest foreign policy issues.”

America is sick of Washington’s stupid behaviour that goes well beyond the acceptable bounds of politics.

Tillerson is frustrated with Trump’s involvement in foreign policy decisions? Who does the stupid SOB think he works for? Please resign. Good riddance.

Its just a Rumour. Most likely the state dept communication blaming Israel was issued in his absense.
Everyone here can send Trump tweets on the Anti-Israel false statement issued by state dept and demand correction.
And tweet article on how unreliable Palestinians are and their open support to jihadi attacks against Jews http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ
Just reading about it here and not doing your bit will not change the matter.
And remember unlike Obama , TRUMP is Pro-Israel.

Until somebody fires the Obama Deep State people under Tillerson, nothing in the State Department will go the way Trump wants it to go.

Well said, life was too nice and comfortable in his previous position – lunches, golf, pleasant chats ……. He doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to conduct the necessary fight if America is to be straightened out after 8 years of Obama treason.

Get this Muslim sympathizing, clueless clown out of there (along with all the subversives who recommended and supported his nomination). And, please Mr. President, do not make the same stupid mistake with your next appointment as you did this one.

It would be great is Baseball was led by the team and not the captain? Nothing would be accomplished and the USA would never win a tournament again. Trump is the Captain and anyone who does not like his direction should go away and play marbles or votes for no Captain in the next elections.

He needs to go.
A complete misfit for the job.
Put John Bolton in charge and watch things happen.

And watch Bolton upset a lot of people on the left – and the pansies in pathetic Western Europe and Britain, Just the sort of upsetting needed and totally unlikely to happen with Tillerson around. He was intended to be a man who was ‘mature’ and cut a serious figure, but turned out someone who couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag and wishes to harbour comfortable thoughts about the Muslim world – while it plots destruction of the West. Just totally the wrong man for the job, almost certainly a delegator when hands-on is desperately needed.

He’s far too cozy with the Muzzies.
Not good.

What was Trump thinking by appointing him in the first place? Bring on Bolton. Someone who actually understands the threats facing us and loves his country.

hmmm. A lot of hysteria and knee jerk on this comment thread – what is Tillerson’s understanding / perspective? Does anyone even know? Or are you all just going to bay like blooded hounds?

It would seem that Tillerson’s perspective is that of a liberal socialist and not what the country needs at this point.

I’m still in the dark as to what he believes on this issue – ‘liberal socialist’ doesn’t tell me anything. And being a former Oil Major CEO, I very much doubt he is a liberal or a socialist.

Wow, I don’t know where to go with that. If it walks like duck talks like a duck, you know the routine. There are many socialists who become involved in industry just to try and change it. Why did Tillerson suddenly become one of them? That is the question. Why are there republicans who vote the socialist line with the democrats all the time? Why are there people who have prospered in America who hate America? Jeez, there is no end to questions one might ask about idiocy.

I have no doubt that you are right – I just don’t know exactly what the man had said and was hoping that someone could offer a synopsis of his statements and position on the matter. For example, with Hillary Clinton I would summarise her as being pro big government, pro ‘statism’, for affirmative action, for mass non-white immigration, pro-islam, anti family values, anti Christian, anti white working class, pro-corporate but anti bourgeois-capitalist, pro Saudi and pro Israel etc. oh, and pro ‘green’ lol.
What about Tillerson.

We have a real Islam problem here in America …I know its off topic to say that..
Tillerson is over a barrel (oil barrel) with the Middle east…Exxon/Mobil…still owns him….He cannot effectively deal with the Muslim issue because of it..

He was an internationalist first before he came into the Administration, and he still is.
Former Exxon chief, but agendae included global warming and climate change; positions that are anathema to Mr. Trumps’s domestic energy policy, and certainly are if you desire American independence from foreign oil.

Robert S. McNamara* had the same problem. He was so successful at Ford Motor Company that he could not understand his failure in the Deep Sewer and Foggy Bottom. Le pResident Lyndon Baneful Johnson has no comments.
