It dosen't mean he is going to do a good job.

Kerry did not use this same wisdom. He tried to use Vietnam for more than "political advertisments." He tried to use his military service to show he would be a good leader/Commander-in-Chief. He stood before the Democratic Convention and said "I'm John Kerry and I'm reporting for duty."
He ended up being wrong, because the Swift Boat Vets came along and started to seed the minds of voters with doubt about his record.

Now, I know exactly what you're going to end up saying. Your going to say something like He doesn't have anything to do with his wife's company. Well, let me point out that Kerry and Teresae still have a stake (however large or small) in what Heinz does.

If Kerry REALLY does something to hurt companies that use outsourcing and that shift money outside the States for tax purposes, he's going to end up hurting his own bottomline.

Now, given the fact that he's loopholed his way to a 12.78% tax rate, its safe to say he loves his money. You think he's going to suggest legislation to cut his profits??
Not likely.
