United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice will meet with senators on Capitol Hill Tuesday to answer questions about the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi, Libya. CBS News has learned her appearance will include a morning meeting with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has been among her biggest critics since her initial remarks on the attack. Rice has come under fire from Republicans for her initial account of the attack five days after it took place, when she suggested that there was no evidence the incident was an act of terrorism. On CBS News´ "Face the Nation,"

Here it comes. After their meeting that dirty traitor McCain will rush to the nearest TV cameras to proclaim that all is forgiven and that Rice would be the greatest Secretary of State since Jefferson. If you´re gonna puke don´t watch.

McCain cannot win by meeting with her in private. Make sure everything is well witnessed and recorded.

Even then media will still support her version of what occurs.

Better yet, don´t meet with her. She can testify in the proper open forum.

Careful, McCain. She´s black and you´re an angry white old man. Guess who the LSM will listen to afterwards?

In a futile attempt to shake the charge of being a racist and a sexist, John McCain will be overly solicitous to Rice. He´ll ask 2 or 3 questions and then praise Rice for all the marvelous work she does as UN Ambassador. McCain would be unable to actually name any meaningful accomplishments of Rice, since there aren´t any. But John will get all gooey anyway.

To show her utter contempt for McCain, Rice will repeat the lie that she was simply providing "preliminary details" on Benghazi that were given to her by intelligence people. She will not identify who these people were. She will say that she never thought of questioning the nonsensical video claim. When pressed, she will say that the entire matter is under investigation, and that she hopes to see the report before Obama´s 2nd term expires. Meeting will conclude with photo op smiles and handshakes.

This is a serious mistake - she should appear before the full committee only. McCain gets weaker and weaker - I predict he will be snookered by her.

It time for McCain to leave the stage. He is becoming to be but a shadow of his former self.

They have calculated (correctly) that McCain is the key to her (and Obama´s) path out of the Benghazi bungle. If there´s one thing that McCain craves more than life itself it´s to be seen as the bold and unpredictable conciliator between two seemingly irreconcilable positions. The problem though is that it is totally predictable, and he always flips to the other side´s irreconcilable position.

Guaranteed. He´ll back her. Many cool (liberal) party invitations to come.

He will back off if she withdraws the racist charge. This is why it´s used. Look for him to flip like he did when he suspended his campaign and then voted for all that wealth destroying stimulus. Time for this guy to give it up, " my friends."

Yep, you´ve all already summed it up:

Rice charms (or threatens) and McCave caves. And if he does, so will Ms. Lindsey.

Kelly Ayotte, however, may not. Rice can´t pull the ´´po´ black girl´´ schtick on Sen. Ayotte.

I predict the men will turn to A-#1 big fans of Ms. Rice, and push Ayotte out there for ´´balance.´´

At least, I can hope ONE OF THEM sees through the crapburger.

A gentleman always offers every assistance to a lady in distress. Just ask Sarah Palin.

Our courtly McPain will get to publicly preen his gentlemanly feathers today. Their meeting will go something like this:

"Benghazi? Raped and murdered ambassador? Tsk, tsk. My dear Ms Rice, life in politics is such an unpleasant thing sometimes. I was once a prisoner of war myself, you know. Oh yes. Perhaps our four dead Americans in Benghazi needed to hone their survival skills just a tad. Why yes, I would be charmed to attend your cocktail reception in January. How delightful! Oh, now would you look at that! Won´t you kindly permit me to escort you to the TV cameras awaiting our arrival outside?"

Barry himself said "she had absolutely nothing to do with Benghazi", so why did he send her to the 5 Sunday talk shows? Precisely because she is black and a woman. Therefore any criticism can instantly be blamed on the racist, misogynist, evil Republicans! (I have noticed she walks just like Rachel Maddow, so she might be a member of a third minority class also).

I am hoping the senators don´t let up on her, but my gut tells me otherwise. I am not letting myself get to personally caught up in this stuff so much anymore...still depressed, I guess.

Why is this meeting happening? We all know the answer to the burning question. Who told the CIA and military to stand down? Obama, of course. Susan Rice going out there and lying for the Preezy is par for the course. Does he think he can get her to admit that? Really?????

Are John McCain and other Republicans more concerned with what Obama thinks than they are about what their voters think?

They need to be inundated somehow and made to toe the line.

Does Obama have something on McCain like he did on Petraeus? I still don´t have the answer on WHY Petraeus didn´t come out with the truth before the election -

What we need is the NAME of the person who told her what to say... and she isn´t going to give it... which makes her guilty of being an accomplice in a crime.

But who is going to prosecute these crmimals?

Fox News host Jon Scott thinks the big three network evening news programs are already starting to tire of President Obama‘s “trifecta” of scandals. Scott outlined exactly how long ABC, CBS and NBC spent discussing development in the Benghazi, IRS and AP stories Thursday night, before asking his guests, “Is there scandal fatigue?” Judith Miller began by taking a swipe at the “mainstream media,” saying, “when issues get complicated and the press have to do a lot of filling in of facts that perhaps they haven’t bothered to report before, yes, things do get complicated

Senior Obama administration officials where notified almost a year ago that an inspector general was looking into the IRS’s treatment of conservative groups, a watchdog said on Friday. Russell George, Treasury’s inspector general (IG) for tax administration, testified that he told the department’s general counsel and Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin about the probe around June of 2012 — months after media reports started detailing Tea Party complaints about the IRS. George stressed that he told the officials merely that a probe was underway. After the hearing, aides at the inspector general’s office later said it’s standard practice

At least eight others were also shot overnight on the South and West Sides. The first fatal shooting happened at 7:24 p.m. on the 7800 block of South Langley Avenue, said Chicago police news affairs officer Daniel O´Brien. The victim was shot in the chest and pronounced dead at the scene, O´Brien said. The Cook County medical examiner´s office said the victim was in his late teens. No one was in custody

CHICAGO — The Angus burger is going away, and it may not be the only McDonald´s dish on the chopping block. The world´s largest restaurant chain has also considered axing Caesar salads, the McSkillet Burrito, the Southern Style Biscuit and steak bagels, according to a franchisee email obtained by Bloomberg News. While the Angus burger contains as many as 820 calories and costs $4, the culling isn´t simply about offering healthier fare and cheaper items. It´s an effort by McDonald´s Corp. to streamline a menu that has expanded by 70 percent to about 145 items since 2007 — straining

You may have heard that there are a variety of scandals unfolding in Washington D.C. at the moment. Scandals swirling around the White House this week include revelations that the Internal Revenue Service singled out conservative groups for intimidation, that the Department of Justice may have expressed their frustration with the Associated Press by obtaining an absurdly wide swath of phone records, and the ever-unfolding scandal surrounding Benghazi and the administration’s response to that attack. With all these overwhelming controversies enveloping the executive branch, one question dominates in the media: When will Republicans overstep in their effort to criticize

In an interview with Bloomberg TV, former Obama chief of staff-turned-Treasury Secretary Jack Lew offered two conflicting yet carefully worded answers as to when he first learned that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had targeted Tea Party and conservative groups: he learned last week--and possibly before the 2012 election. Bloomberg´s Al Hunt asked Lew, whose Treasury Department oversees the IRS: “When were you first notified that IRS agents were targeting conservative groups like the Tea Party?” Instead of answering Hunt’s question directly, however, Lew instead chose to answer when he first learned about the IG report, a tactic

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1.

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.
