It looks to me like there´s long knives within the dem party trying to sink Rice,the question is who are they coming from.To me it´s actually pretty crazy for Obama to stick with her as old wounds will be reopened during hearings. There´s plenty of fodder to smack her with besides the Benghazi whitewash.That doesn´t even include her abrasive personality.

My guess is people in the state dept. want someone in the mold of Hilary so their boat doesn´t get rocked.Kerry is someone like that.

It was always going to be jon carry.

Am beginning to suspect that McCain was part of the scam.

Obama never intended Susan Rice to be nominated. She´s a diversion, a red herring. He knows that opposition to her would be so bad he could nominate someone worse and get away with it.

#3 I think you are right. He did it to irritate, and to inflame, so when he throws someone like Kerry out there, people will actually breathe a sigh of relief. Wwll, some will. Old tactcic.

He displayed evidence of this yesterday when he stated he dis not have to pick Rice, and again later when he said his mind wasn´t made up.

Basically, he used her for Benghazi, and she has outlived her usefulness. The right is not incensed enough to make going through it worth it. That is what he feeds off of, the rage.

Egregious Republican attacks?

So at the very end of the article the author cites her "several significant achievements". Only one "achievement" was mentioned, if one thinks Libya´s outcome supposedly fits that category. Ridiculous.

Why is the nyslims even considered here at Lucianne?

Nothing they have to say -- interests me....

LZK

will she open up if she does not get sos job? there is nothing like a women scortned.

Forget all the rationalizing about who opposes her and what her personality problems are. This will all come down to one thing: what can she do for Fauxbama? Oh yes, and one other thing, what is Moochelle telling him to do?

0 is so devious that no one will ever really understand his motives for anything. We do know that he loves to make conservatives out to be racist.

Typical NYT article full of liberal opinion thinly disguised as ´facts´. But never mind them. Rice is described as ´blunt´ by the liberals and ´arrogant and obnoxious´ by the conservatives which actually makes her a perfect fit for the WH circle. It will boil down to how well she gets along with Valerie Jarrett. Can´t have two harpies competing for Obama´s attention now can we.

when you have more than 90% of blacks voting for barry, that is taking racism to the highest degree.

If you buy this article, you are being played. This reflects pro-Hillary thinking and notice, Benghazi is buried in the second half (talk about burying the lede) and Rice´s perfidy is minimized in favor of her not being diplomatic enough. Don´t let´s reject Rice as SoS in favor of Kerry/Hillary.

Bob Bork was "blunt" but it wasn´t considered a desirable trait back in those days, was it.

Since when is Obama known for his loyalty? This is what is perplexes me. She´s a weakened candidate, but he still backs her. Intense dislike for the rich white guy, or could it be, she knows something?

It´ll be Cary because he likes to have a lot of meetings. That´s right up his alley, that´s his way of looking busy and important.

No doubt that Rice should go....

If she perceives herself as a woman scorned, will Rice just go away quietly?

I live in North Georgia, have no connections, and average awareness of world events. I knew as soon as it hit the news that this was a planned attack. This rice woman lied to the public because Hillary knew this farce would not fly, so she is to be rewarded for telling a bald face lie?

There´s more than ample evidence that the woman lacks the very personal skills required by the job... like being diplomatic, for starters.
