| Tampa, Florida--On Sept. 2, Ambassador Susan E. Rice delivered a eulogy for a man she called “a true friend to me.” Before thousands of mourners and more than 20 African heads of state in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Ms. Rice, the United States’ representative to the United Nations, lauded the country’s late prime minister, Meles Zenawi. She called him “brilliant” — “a son of Ethiopia and a father to its rebirth.” (Snip)During her career, she has shown a surprising and unsettling sympathy for Africa’s despots.

Comments:
If you want to be really unsettled, read the rest. She only differed with Meles "on questions like democracy and human rights."

This woman is a thug sympathizer of all stripes. She´s a equal opportunity thug enhancer.
It´s hard to imagine a worse species of humans than African dictators,until you look at our own WH who has inauguration tickets up for sale to the highest bidders.
How big a joke is Obama´s inauguration anyway,when he swears to uphold the Constitution?
Rice is unfit to serve this country in any capacity but she´s such a hardcore loyalist and crony to Obama,he´ll find her some job,just so she can rip the taxpayers for more money.

When even the NYT outs you as a despot lover, it´s time to find a nice paying job in the private sector. Of some other country.

Obama no longer has any reason to care about the opinions of the NYT or any other media outlet. It will be interesting to see if he actually shoves her down America´s throat or decides to move on to some other destruction.

Obama surrounds himself with like minded individuals and Susan Rice is no exception. I don´t believe he is close to any decent America loving people. Look at his inner circle. They are all radicals in one form or another and none of these people should be given positions of power. These are the kind of people who give rise to tyrants.

And we think we have problems with the Middle-east?
Africa´s a pot waiting to boil over on the acquistion of high tech weaponry.
Calling it a pot would suggest there is some sort of unity there. They´re severely tribal, and hate each other as much as our ´friends´ in the Middle-east do.

Forget skin color, it´s all in the innocent looking faces. Susan, Holder, Geitner, these people do not look evil like Bilary, Schumer, Reid, Sharpton, Boehnermost and too many fattened politicians. No, they look youngish and innocent, incapable of actually being the communist driven thieves they actually are. Obama smiles like the local TV weatherman, but gives it all away when questioned openly, screws up his face with arrogant disdain, really looks badly frightening. And that´s the facial appearance comments section for the day.
They all openly support despots anywhere and crime in any form, and the 24/7 attack on the Constitution. At the inaugural, as many citizens as can make it need to be there booing loudly when the bamster blurts out his broken and smashed Oath......again.

President Obama has visited sub-Saharan Africa just once in his first term — a brief stop in Ghana. One signal that he plans to focus more on Africa — and on human rights and democracy, not only economic development and geopolitics — in his next term would be to nominate someone other than Susan Rice as America’s top diplomat.
WHEN His High Holy Giver Of All Things To The Lazy appoints someone worse than despot lover Rice, look for Salem Solomon to laud them as a supporter of democracy. Why do I know that will be the case?

Enniskillen, Northern Ireland—President Barack Obama and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin clashed openly over Syria as world leaders began a summit here Monday, sharply underscoring deepening differences over the civil war. (Snip)But the two dug in over their differences, with Russia backing the regime of President Bashar al-Assad with heavy weaponry as the Obama administration has ordered the Central Intelligence Agency to begin arming Mr. Assad´s opponents. The central disagreement is over the fate of Mr. Assad, Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, told reporters Monday night.

I’ve been in this economics business for a while. In fact, I’ve been in it so long I still remember what people considered normal in those long-ago days before the financial crisis. Normal, back then, meant an economy adding a million or more jobs each year, enough to keep up with the growth in the working-age population. Normal meant an unemployment rate not much above 5 percent, except for brief recessions. And while there was always some unemployment, normal meant very few people out of work for extended periods.

Last month the Congressional Budget Office released its much-anticipated projections for debt and deficits, and there were cries of lamentation from the deficit scolds who have had so much influence on our policy discourse. (Snip)The answer is that the long-term upward trend in health care costs — a trend that has affected private insurance as well as Medicare — seems to have flattened out significantly over the past few years. Nobody is quite sure why, but there are indications that some of the cost-reducing measures contained in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, are actually starting to “bend the

Houtson--As a partner and chief diversity officer at Thompson & Knight, Pauline Higgins was not afraid to press the issue of hiring minorities at the 126-year-old Texas law firm. But when she left in 2008, she was replaced by an associate with less influence. Now, current and former partners say, the diversity committee meets less often, and the firm has fewer black lawyers than before. It is a trajectory familiar in many elite realms of American professional life. Even as racial barriers continue to fall, progress for African-Americans over all has remained slow

Windsor NC--Loggers here are clear-cutting a wetland forest with decades-old trees. Behind the move: an environmental push. The push isn´t in North Carolina but in Europe, where governments are trying to reduce fossil-fuel use and carbon-dioxide emissions. Under pressure, some of the Continent´s coal-burning power plants are switching to wood. But Europe doesn´t have enough forests to chop for fuel, and in those it does have, many restrictions apply. So Europe´s power plants are devouring wood from the U.S., where forests are bigger and restrictions fewer.

Shanghai--The Chinese government is planning for private businesses and market forces to play a larger role in its economy, in a major policy shift intended to improve living conditions for the middle class and to make China an even stronger competitor on the global stage. (Snip)On Friday, the Chinese government issued a set of policy proposals that seemed to show that Mr. Li and other leaders were serious about reducing government intervention in the marketplace and giving competition among private businesses a bigger role in investment decisions and setting prices.

Some of the nation´s largest banks, including Wells Fargo [WFC +1.58%] & Co., suspended foreclosure sales in a number of states following guidance issued last month by federal banking regulators. While some foreclosures have since resumed, the halt marks the latest dustup over how foreclosures are handled. Banks said their actions were triggered by a four-page bulletin issued last month by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve. The bulletin outlined basic operating standards for foreclosure sales. Many of the nation´s largest banks were already operating under consent orders with the OCC or the Fed

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
