    Susan Rice lied to 5 different network show about a YouTube video. That isn't even up for debate, yet here she is as the new UN ambassador.

    I kind of admire Obama's ability to claim stupidity to every scandal around him, and seem oblivious to them all when moving FORWARD. It's also hilarious for Axelrod and others to claim that the government is just too big for Barry to know what everyone is doing.

    Has there been a more out of touch president? I have a feeling his handlers just stick him in a room with ESPN, Reggie Love, and some beer, and just shuttle him off to places to read off of his teleprompter.

    The guy has coasted for 5 years on 7+% unemployment, and nobody seems to care, because he has so many people dependent on the government, and so many low-info voters that vote for him.

    Just curious if you also blame the CIA for giving her bad intelligence?

    I'm just curious as to how much slack you cut President Bush when he (supposedly) was given bad intel on WMD's in Iraq.

    Why sit around and cry over who the man picks to be on his team? He won the election, so he's earned the right. It's his legacy he's building with his failures.

    As an aside, she's the 2nd black woman named Rice to hold the post in the past 2 administrations.

    I think Susan Rice is the new top National Security Advisor to President Obama. I believe that Samantha Power is the new UN Ambassador.

    I know it's Fox, but this is an interesting opinion piece:





    I highlighted the money quote above.


    Naming the complicit or incompetent (your choice) Rice to the National Security Advisor post allows her to avoid testifying under oath about Benghazi, or anything else.​

    I don't think they can invoke executive privilege for events that happened before she took the job.

    That didn't happen. The CIA never mentioned the video in their analysis. Not once.

    Perhaps you should educate yourself.

    When Rice went on the Sunday shows with that spiel, I looked up the video. I came to the conclusion in just a few minutes that it was BS. The video didn't cause any of this crap.
    But she held her mouth right and said it with conviction. I don't think Barry gives a damn what I think, Susan is there to make sure I don't forget it either.

    Perhaps more of you will get this feeling as time goes by.
