Susan Rice Next Secretary of State ?

[Jack Springer]

I didn't realize until this morning that she did not attend Benjamin Netanyahu's "Red Line" speech at the union -- she went to a luncheon and ignored the Prime Minister of Israel -- that's an accomplishment.

However, she did attend the speech at the UN given by Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- which shows very clearly who she respects more.

It just doesn't make any sense.

We can now see into the inner soul of someone by which lunch events they attend.

By the way, I'd take someone who passed on the PM of Israel over someone who made fun of a lady sitting in death row about to be executed when he saw that her case had sent a request for clemency.

I think you've lost everyone now. Nonsense.

[xbuzzerx]

^^^

I think you've lost everyone now. Nonsense.

You're saying that Presidential accountability is a bad thing.

The alternate is how Bush ran the Iraq War.

Try to grasp what you read.

You've said "Obama shouldn't be that involved" and you haven't given a single reason, good or bad, why.

[JayHawk]

I have no one ignored. There are no responses to my question.

I'm guessing the reason is because she has no accomplishments that would qualify her for being SOS.

Care to add to the discussion?

The toughest sanctions on Iran in history and the backing of the UN security council in setting those sanctions. two of the players who normally dont because they are Iran's arms dealers.

The best thing I have seen today on this is why republicans are so vastly different over the other Rice. The comparison was made earlier in this thread. It basically demonstrates republican claims for what they are baseless, partisan bullshit. Sad that the party of gay hate is still trying to use the blood of actual patriotic Americans to gain an edge. Sickening really.



Indeed what has changed John McCain? You actually defended the lies told by your parties rice and that resulted in a thousand times the loss of lie for Americans not to mention the number of enemies killed over LIES.

Can ya read it now Jack?

[JayHawk]

Here is some more ... hopefully I wont have to super size the font for you to actually comprehend Susan Rice's Accolades.

A member of Obama’s transition team and one of his foreign policy advisers during the campaign, Rice had extensive high-level service in the Bill Clinton administration. Since then she’s been a member of several influential foreign policy groups.

In 1993, she joined the staff of the National Security Council in the Clinton administration, focusing first on peacekeeping and then on African affairs. She moved to the State Department in 1997, watching over issues and events in Africa.

In 2002, Rice signed on as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution (She is now on leave from that group.)

The Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC. Our mission is to conduct high-quality, independent research and, based on that research, to provide innovative, practical recommendations that advance three broad goals:

Strengthen American democracy;
Foster the economic and social welfare, security and opportunity of all Americans; and
Secure a more open, safe, prosperous and cooperative international system.
Brookings is proud to be consistently ranked as the most influential, most quoted and most trusted think tank.

She’s also on the board of the Atlantic Council of the United States, a group chaired by Gen. James L. Jones, Obama’s pick to be his national security adviser.

Since its founding in 1961-1962, the Council has been a preeminent, non partisan institution devoted to promoting transatlantic cooperation and international security. In its early years, distinguished American foreign policy leaders – Dean Acheson, Dean Rusk, Christian Herter, Lucius Clay, and others – developed an ambitious agenda to engage Americans with their European partners on matters of global concern. Now in its 50th year, the Atlantic Council is harnessing that history of transatlantic leadership and applying its founders’ vision to a broad spectrum of modern global challenges from violent extremism to financial instability and from NATO’s future to energy security. As we face an inflection point in history, the Atlantic Council provides an essential forum for navigating dramatic shifts in economic and political influence. The Council is home to ten programs and centers, broken down both functionally and regionally, which seamlessly work together to tackle today’s unique set of challenges.

Red Items tell the background of foreign policy institutes or policy institutes that constructively find solutions that can work diplomatically...

So basically if you follow her life then you would find Susan Rice has devoted her entire existence to foreign policy. She worked on the Obama campaign in 2008 as well thereby making the most successful morph from hated to respected in world foreign policy history.

Susan Rice Withdraws for Secretary of State

Moments after news broke of Rice’s withdrawal, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told POLITICO that Kerry “would be a popular choice with the Senate.”

fuuuuuuuck

[JayHawk]

I know... once again an adult emerges from a political fray and it is the democratic representative who is the adult....

Obama should pick someone else just to jam a dick into the republican suggestion.

[maxpowr9]

As I said, they want Kerry so Brown can get back into the senate. I hope the Dems throw up someone else.

[MisterMajestic]

I am so upset with Obama I could eat a Brick...I should have seen this coming..Obama is always a WIMP when it comes to fighting for people that have his back..He LOVES when members from his Administration tell him:

"Well Mr. President, I know you don't like to get Mad and all, i know you only like to Fight when you're campaigning for your own Ass, So I'll throw myself under the Bus for your Ass so you don't have to break a Fucking sweat"....

He let the Republicans call Susan every name in the book and discredit her credentials. He LET them beat her down to the ground and in the end they won...

How in the world do you let Old man-Mccain and That loud Mouth Southern Bitch Linsey beat you at your own game?

Obama was so GLAD Susan caved in..He's growing older by the second because FIGHTING makes his self-absorbed Ass nervous as Fuck...

He wasnt even MAN enough to tell Susan he'd FIGHT for her and not to worry...WOW and Damn..

[Jack Springer]

Obama is very scared of the Benghazi scandal. A real Rice nomination would have made the scandal top news and he would have had some explaining to do.

AWKWARD.

[Rolyo85]

Yeah, I'm sure Obama needs tranqs to actually fall asleep at night, from all that fear of the Benghazi Scandal... Hey, remember all those OTHER scandals that nobody was scared about, where more people died? Did you EVER commented on those?

[chance1]

She didn't have his back

She covered his ass

And she got the Obama kiss

She was a tool and should've known better than to peddle Obama bullshit

Chuck Hagel to replace Panetta ?

That'd be a faux bipartisan olive branch

ironic that some believe rice is more "conservative" than Kerry.

Boys club bullshit

[JayHawk]

Yeah in no way possible is it a public servant who understands service is selfless and also realizes it is best to take away another issue from the foamy mouthed morons.

Like I said I sincerely hope Obama does not pick Kerry just so the republicans are stuck with the Senate they built. You know one devoid of republican seats they thought they had... I wonder if 2014 is stacked against republicans the way 2012 was stacked against democrats????

[JayHawk]

Just looked it up and it is a uphill battle again for the democratic Party....

[jackoroe]

Gee what a shame! After lying her ass off about for Obama she doesn't get the promised Secretary of State gig?

[JayHawk]

You guys are funny... as long as it is Obama's fault or those words can be typed... lol

And we wonder what genius minds came up with our most unproductive congress in history.

After bitching for weeks about her appointment that was never made of course, you would think some aspect of the Obama is at fault for everything folks would say this is a good thing. Amusing.

[chance1]

Gee what a shame! After lying her ass off about for Obama she doesn't get the promised Secretary of State gig?

quid pro quo just like the detroit lady who wants hers

[JayHawk]

One thing that seems clear about President Obama: He values loyalty but not to the point of sentimentality or obstruction. He won a mandate in the 2012 election, and he wants to exploit that fact as quickly as possible, knowing that presidents often lose momentum—tend to fall into lame-duck’s syndrome—as their second terms get under way. Nominating Kerry and Hagel would sweep away the partisan games that he clearly detests—and clear the path for what he sees as the business of governing.

That is a good summary and a great read.... Republicans seem much more likely to fight than to govern.

quid pro quo just like the detroit lady who wants hers

That would seem to be the position of those who have posted previously. instead of being pleased you guys appear to be bitching that you got what you wanted... it is weird to complain when you win and when you lose.

[Rolyo85]

Yeah, she's a bitch while she's a threat. When she's not a threat, Obama is a bitch for not helping her more. Seems legit.

[chance1]

perhaps a translation is in order

never mind

[jackoroe]

She had served her purpose and was more trouble than she was worth. Obama threw her under the bus, just like he did his poor old grandmother, whom he described as a typical white person.

Sleep with dogs, you get fleas.

[JayHawk]

Right he tossed her aside. So when was your position posted that she should be fought for and she was Obama's solid choice and such? Where was that post?

Why cant you guys admit if Obama shit a platinum coin to solve the debt issue you'll would bitch he is a magician.

[Rolyo85]

So they're BOTH bitches. She was a bitch to begin with, and now he is one for ditching her. Got it.

I'm guessing the david's told obama that it was time to punt

my other guess is that the obama lovers will suggest this was all in the plan

he's a genius u know

word is out that ms. rice reflexively blamed GWB for her pull out

hehe

[jackoroe]

Why cant you guys admit if Obama shit a platinum coin to solve the debt issue you'll would bitch he is a magician.

If he could shit platinum coins, at least he'd serve some useful purpose.

[Rolyo85]

Yeah, doing a load of stuff for US - the LGBT community - has been thoroughly unuseful...

That doesn't matter if he isn't conforming to Fox talking points. That all but makes someone an enemy to humanity.

Someone only mentioned gay rights issues because a certain moderator made the rather ridiculous claim that Obama is good for absolutely nothing.

Do read along with us.

[Jack Springer]

... and if you thought it was not about the Benghazi scandal.

Now Hillary may not appear before Congress and the Obama Administration may not release the full "investigation" into the scandal.

http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/po..._on_benghazi_1

Obama plays games . . . . and not the fun Rudolph games either.

[JayHawk]

He does serve a useful purpose. He is your President. So far he has done a wonderful job righting the wrongs put into motion by Bush... What do you wanna bet when he leaves office we will be headed UP as a result of his leadership where as post Bush we were definitely sinking.

But before I get accused of making everything about Bush I will stop.

[ReadyWithReadyWit]

Yeah, she's a bitch while she's a threat. When she's not a threat, Obama is a bitch for not helping her more. Seems legit.

Well, duh...don't you know better yet? The right had already created its Obama is bad talking points regardless of the result. I commend Susan Rice for her classy statement and ability to put country before politics. This was faux outrage from the beginning and always will be... nothing will ever become of it... because nothing was ever there to begin with.

But it was a distraction nonetheless... and now that the GOP has one less faux distraction to play up, maybe they can focus on something constructive... oh, wait... silly me... nevermind...

I hear he also eats dog and loves aborting white babies

[Jack Springer]

He loves aborting all babies.

He made Rice go on all the talk shows spreading a false cause for the attack on Benghazi. The blame of Rice rests on Obama -- but it is appreciated that he pointed out the lack of ability of Ambassador Rice.

Rice is scorched. However, no doubt she'll show up somewhere in the Obama Administration. She worth more than $40 million -- she's Obama's kind of people.

What does that comment even mean.

Veiled racist remarks make me more angry than blatant ones because if you're going to be a little racist toad at least have balls about it.

His preferred quote is "Don't call me a Racist!" Yet he always comes up with something like this.

Anyway back to the thread. I believe it was Rice that stepped down from being appointed.

Here we go again -- calling someone a racist.

I beg the CEP moderators to ban the word racist, the phase "being racist" or anything similar. If "... ball ..." can be banned why not racist.

Are you talking about the comment "she's Obama kind of people" --- WTF man. Rice is an extremely wealthy person -- Obama surrounds himself with the rich -- from hollywood, the media, business, and entertainment.

Obsession with race is something about liberals that I do not understand. Accept a person as person and don't look at the color of their skin.

Get beyond judging people by the color of their skin.

Um, no, racist is not an insult, it's a description. And the word isn't a problem, it's the attitude. Which IS forbidden here.

people don't like to be called a racist - for good reason

obama lovers here who throw it around as easily as they stick a cock in their mouth do themselves and the cause a disservice

yes back to the thread

susan rice with beans did her job - the fall guy for a failed series of decisions by this administration

she became the "issue" by lying her ass off

in consideration for deflecting blame from el presidente and ms. hillary

she gets ......... NOT the SOS gig

something else i imagine

the obama admin is like the sopranos

and yes she stepped down from being appointed WE - all on her own
