WEF President Borge Brende: "Do you think really if democracy can survive unregulated social media?"
John Kerry: "I think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing. And to me, that is part of what this race, this election is all about. Will we break the fever in the United States? Will we bring ourselves back to a regular order as John McCain used to say, where we're able to get things done, like a budget. Pass a budget, for God's sakes. When I travel around the world, I am, you know, I'm pounded by people who say, what's the matter with America? Where the hell are you guys going? And you all know I'm not raising something new. It doesn't look good. It's not working well. And we have to be able to, and I've heard this from leaders in other countries. I won't mention their names, but some of them."
