| Is Suasn Rice for SOS a smoke screen or an uninformed President? (Posted on 11/30/12 at 9:41 pm)
ETA. Did not mean to submit without the below text.
I ask this because as the UN Ambassador she is on the Hill with Repub's asking forgiveness while the UN is taking up giving Palestine a voice. Then our allies in the UN abstain from voting leaving us somewhat high and dry. If she is such a great UN ambassador why didn't our allies stand behind us? Or was this a planned thing because we really want to get away from our close allingment with Israel? To me if the UN Ambas cant keep our allies in line with our policies how do you expect that person to keep them in line with our polices as SOS. To me this vote puts the nail in the coffin of her nomination.

IDK but McCain and Lindsey Graham slamming her was pretty funny after the lies they spread back in 2002

To me, I think you're being led by the nose to the circus surrounding her nomination and away from the critical issues of the Libyan incident.
They want you to focus on her because then, the argument will be about a "bunch of mean ole Republicans attacking the black woman," which will eventually fail in any case because she was just saying what she was told to say.
The fact of the matter is that there is NO WAY the president didn't know immediately what the situation in Libya was and still, he lied to the public to protect his "I defeated AQ" narrative. They have refocused the argument to be about Rice, which it really isn't and shouldn't be, and you're falling for it.

Blue,
I'm not even getting into the Libyan incident. It has it's own discussion apart from this one. My thoughts are if as UN Ambas she can't get our "friends" to support our stance against Palestine; how in the hell can she make things happen as SOS?

Both.
I don't think she was too serious a candidate until all this Benghazi mess came out. I think the President threw her name out as a strong candidate for people to focus on instead of focusing on Benghazi itself (focusing on her instead of the event).
I also think he believes himself to be so politically anointed that he is ignorant enough to try to force her through regardless of what comes out. He has a fairly complicit media, so he may not be so ignorant after all.

Is there anyone in this administration who is informed on anything other than the political agenda of the radical left wing.
This is the most incompetent administration in American history in terms of leading the nation.
This administration is competent in only one thing - running a campaign to smear their opponent and pander to the stupid.
To semi-quote Michelle Obama = "for the first time in my life, I am not proud to be an American."

This and there is something else all of you are missing:
When she inevitably fricks up big, they can just play the race card to drop any potential coverage of future scandals.
This is actually a brilliant move.

Because other countries aren't Israel's lapdog like the US? We supposedly have a 'stance against' Israel building illegal settlements ,but the US does nothing.
Because they aren'tt Isreal's lapdog those countries can make fair judgements.
