| Susan Rice, the United States ambassador to the United Nations and President Obama’s most visible candidate to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, is being subjected to an immutable law of the Washington power grid: in the rough and tumble of political combat, personality trumps policy. Government policy, especially foreign policy, is rife with nuance and complication. But personality is easier to grasp and harder to shed. Recent critiques of Rice’s influence on U.S. diplomacy in Rwanda, Sudan, and Eritrea over the past two decades are endlessly debatable among think-tank elites.

Lloyd Grove should stick with lightweight gossip. She has not had a "brilliant career". It has been full of serious mistakes and yet pal Obie has pulled her along. Of course.
Having a nasty personality, being known for having a foul mouth, do not seem like qualities that would work for someone in the #1 diplomatic position in the United States. That´s the personality part.
Having made serious errors in judgement in the past is the business part. She is not intellectually equipped to be secretary of state. Or maybe she too just doesn´t like the United States?

Frankly I can hardly stomach hearing more about Susan Rice and her " brilliant career" or her gazillions of dollars. These thugs running our lives are laughing their a-- off that Americans are so stupid as to give them 4 more years to rape and pillage our country!

"Temperament" is not just Beltway jargon. Rice seems to be an overbearing prig, to use an old phrase. While she has strong academic credentials and is praised by a high school mentor, she come across as a know-it-all and full of herself.
Her atrocious handling of whatever she touched as Asst SoS in the Clinton era disqualifies her, particularly not pushing Clinton to address Rwanda genocide, which he says was the one area where he said he failed.
Even Kerry would be better, and that´s saying a lot.

Considering we have become the nation of We the Minorities, of and for Minorities, you hae to be amazed that Jay Carney has his job.
Susan Rice demonstrates an academic who knows nothing about the real world. She´s the female version of Obama.
But she´s ´of color´ so qualifications don´t really matter as much as the appearance that she should have the job, ´just ´cuz´.
2043..... right around the epochal corner.

Please! Any personality disorder is a resume enhancer if your a screaming liberal. By definition, liberalism is a personality disorder.
And if your looking for a nasty piece of work, just consider who Obama is considering for the Court of St James.

I see good Old Lloyd is still trying to sell the "she was only reporting on the best intelligence available at that time" meme. Aside from her personality, which is condescending and nasty, she is a pathplogical liar. There is no way any semi-coherent person could buy the idea that she did not know she was lying when she became the face of the Obama administration for all things Benghazi.

#13, To Leftists, lying in the service of higher Leftist objectives is not only permissible to them, it is about mandatory. Zippy and his fictional WOT success narrative had to be protected, and most certainly protected in the run up to the election. To him, she is a fine loyal soldier who is taking one for the team in terms of the harm to her career path. To us, she appears to be a lying lackey, deserving of only our disdain.

When you have liberals take over this is the best and the brightest, bird or no bird. Look at the recent dis-appointments. Kagan and her zero judicial experience, one Senator that did sicko sex skits on SNL, another Senator thinks he fought in the jungles of Vietnam, another Senator-elect that poses as an American Indian that even the Indians denounce, and a Senator that hires an illegal sex offender but gets away with it because the FBI delays the arrest from the public. And each Democrat gets a pass by the media we no longer watch. The advertisers for these media circuses must know that no one is watching their 30 second multi-million dollar ad buys.

1. I can´t agree with any who say, "let Obama appoint whomever he wants and take the consequences."
The consequences fall on us, and worse, on our kids. I think we owe them very breath of opposition to Obama we can draw. In a great stain on our history, Obama will likely escape anything and everything remotely resembling a just consequence.
2. A "prig" does not "g[i]ve the finger to her colleague Richard Holbrooke during a... high-level meeting.
"Prig" a. A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner. b. a person who displays or demands of others pointlessly precise conformity, fussiness about trivialities, or exaggerated propriety, especially in a self-righteous or irritating manner. c. Synonyms: prude, puritan, bluenose.
Emphasis added.
No, not a "prig."

One of the lame networks just broke into a program with "breaking news" that she has voluntarily withdrawn her consideration for Secretary of State. I wouldn´t be so sure it was all her decision alone. Letting her announce her own withdrawal might be a soft way of letting Bamster off the hook and avoids outright, overt rejection of the candidate. Wink wink Bamster.
Well sometimes just like the old video game "Phoenix" if one fires away long enough the house is going to explode. We won on this one.

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

Mr. Samson has found what he says are perfect replicas of the French general´s gray overcoat, he has studied Napoleon´s native Corsican tongue and he has had himself crowned emperor of France, in a cathedral yet. In 2015, he wants to lead thousands of military enthusiasts into the ultimate re-enactment: the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium. But an American rival stands in his way.

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

Illegal apprehensions are at 40-year lows,” Napolitano told reporters this week in Houston. But figures released Thursday by Customs and Border Protection to Fox News tell a different story.

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” (Snip) “Texas has a long tradition of looking outside the government for support — and often finding it. That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

Obama, Kerry and Hagel thought that they had a plan for putting North Korea back in the box. North Korea had conducted a nuclear test in February, violating once again the various understandings that had been worked out. But agreements and understandings, written or oral, had never meant much to the repressive regime which had suspended the Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War numerous times—including last month. So Obama decided to wave a stick. The playbook for North Korea would feature flights by B-2 and B-52 bombers and F-22 fighter jets to remind

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.” Source and text corrected by Staff.
