Susan Rice´s miserable
record at the UN

Fox News, by Richard Grenell

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/15/2012 1:10:57 PM

Most reporters haven’t been following Ambassador Susan Rice’s performance at the United Nations since her appointment in January 2009. To many journalists, Rice’s misleading interviews on the five Sunday Shows the weekend after the 9/11/12 terrorist attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were one of the first times they had heard from her. To veteran foreign policy observers, Rice’s shameful performance that Sunday was one of many blunders over the last four years. Rice’s refusal to answer questions about why she blamed the Benghazi violence on a YouTube video was

Comments:
I knew she was an incompetent radical leftists but didn´t know the extent of her miserable record. What else would you expect from the regime. They´re all alike and are certainly not for the best interests of America.

She is a woman of color, isn´t that enough?

To ask anymore from this il-informed leftist is racist. Just ask Trayvon Martin´s wanna be father. Or, Vogue´s Anna Wintour, who featured Rice in a lavish essay just after Vogue featured the wife of Syria´s murderous dictator, Assad. Rice may have a miserable record, but she´s cool.

Rice is just another Affirmative-Action left wing political hack. No wonder Zippy´s defending her...

Richard Grenell is a racist.
By that I mean that he looks beyond the color of her skin. He considers her actions. This is racist. To a true believer in affirmative action, the color of one´s skin is all that matters.
Any requirement for performance is not allowed.
Richard Grenell must lose his position at Fox, and be permanently censored.
How dare he look at the record? She is a good troop, and does exactly what she is told. Her previous UN actions were done on orders from the WH. She was not appointed to be an advocate of the US. She was appointed to make Islam look good.
Trust me on this.
Any other conclusion is not allowed.
By the way, Graham and McCain are also racist.
So there.

Rice claims with a straight face that her goal has been accomplished,

Obama never learned that by telling one lie in the beginning, you have to keep telling even bigger, more unintelligent lies, to cover up the first one. Defending Rice was an attempt to take the responsibility off his plate. In other words, he really is the guilty one and totally responsible for the entire mess, but refuses to admit it to himself. He is only trying to protect himself and divert responsibility.


Reply 19 - Posted by: Eheu Fugaces, 11/16/2012 9:20:46 AM     (No. 9018053)

Perhaps Obama is using Rice as a "bait and switch". With everyone in an uproar over the possible nomination of this Foreign Policy Barbie Doll as Sec. of State, Obama will then step forward with his real nomination, the ever-malignant America-hater Samantha Power, who is definitely a real "Power" in his foreign policy apparatus.

Or somebody even worse, although that is hard to imagine.

One of her "accomplishments (and Obama and Hillary and Huma) was to get the US to join the Organization of Islamic States (per Frank Gaffney on local talk radio this morning). So the US has offially aligned itself with muslim countries who see one of their primary goals is the imposition of Sharia.

Rice is an affirmative action appointee and dumb as a box of rocks. Obama knows this and doesn´t want her interrogated by any Republican controlled committee. Obama lied to the people and therefore should either resign or be impeached. He should not escape the stain of impeachment, even if it is only by the House.

Jacob Reces, former head of Princeton’s College Republicans, asked Jackson during a talk on Tuesday if she regretted using the alternate email account, according to the New Jersey Star-Ledger. Using two email accounts for work isn’t a new practice, and was also done under President Bush, Jackson said.

FBI Conducting 32 Gun Purchase
Background Checks Per Minute

During Barack Obama´s presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute. Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama´s presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI. Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days. That equates to 36,480 hours, or 2,188,800 minutes. Divide the 70,291,049 background checks by 2,188,800 minutes and you get approximately 32 checks for gun purchases every minute!

As he rolls out his fiscal 2014 budget on Wednesday, a new survey finds that Americans haven’t felt this confident about President Obama’s handling of the economy since his first year in office. The Gallup poll, which sampled more than 1,000 Americans, found that 57 percent say they have a “great deal or a fair amount of confidence” in Mr. Obama to do the right thing on the economy. That’s up from just 50 percent last year and hasn’t been this high since it hit 71 percent in 2008. Trust in congressional Republicans, on the other hand, remains low.

The media is all abuzz with Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy these days: she fat? Should she really be wearing leather pants while pregnant? What is that cape-like thing she wore the other week? Is she lying about her delivery date? Is she lying about her pregnancy? Why did she wear that dress that made people compare her to an orca whale? All of these are very valid questions, but bring to light another issue: Isn’t there some one else who’s also pregnant right now? Some one who is substantially more important than Kim Kardashian?

An assistant professor of art and graphic design at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas is under investigation for allegedly forcing graphic design students to create anti-gun artwork for her own personal crusade against firearms. Campus Reform broke the story and confirmed that officials at the public, taxpayer-supported school launched an investigation after receiving a student’s official complaint last week. According to the complaint, the professor, Jennifer Yucus, required students to produce posters in opposition to certain gun-friendly legislation currently making its way through the Texas state legislature.

Manchin and Toomey held a press conference Wednesday morning announcing a bipartisan bill that would expand background checks for all commercial firearm sales, including gun shows and Internet sales. The bill is the latest effort by the Senate to introduce background check legislation, after negotiations between Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.) and Democrats broke down earlier this year.

MSNBC host Touré founded a student newspaper dedicated to black liberation theology while he was a college student attending Emory University from 1989 to 1992. Touré’s flagship publication, The Fire This Time, lavished praise on famous anti-Semites, black supremacists, and conspiracy theorists whom Touré helped bring to campus. Before he became an intense-but-sardonic TV personality, Touré also decried “the suffocating white community” and defended a nationally famous fake hate crime. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Touré described the newspaper as “an important black voice on campus” and “a form of community building.”

The most ominous trend in America´s employment data is not the number of people who have left the labor force, but the number who are now working either for the government or in the as-yet-still-private sector of the health care industry. Health care has boomed under Obama, according to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. When Obama was inaugurated in January 2009, there were 13,436,700 jobs in the private health care industry; by this March, there were 14,516,600. Over the past four years, America has created 1,079,900 new jobs in the private-sector health care industry.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

Decrying the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as way too complex, he warned the acting Medicare director that Obamacare is "so complicated and if it isn´t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse."

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
