Her discussion of the video following a terrorist attack certainly makes her extraordinarily qualified for National Security Advisor.... It looks like this administration's arrogance doesn't even allow them to seriously consider the country.
"Insiders with ties to the Obama administration tell The Cable that U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has become the heir apparent to National Security Advisor Tom Donilon -- a post at the epicenter of foreign-policy decision making and arguably more influential than secretary of state, a job for which she withdrew her candidacy last fall amid severe political pressure."
More influential, great. Just what the NSA needs, a lying partisan hack. But I suspect she knows too much, and the last thing this administration wants is Rice being offered a lot of money for a tell-all, so they'll try to tuck her away someplace safe for the next three years.
She's just as President Obama said, a magnificent public servant. She's supremely qualified, a brilliant woman, and far superior to anyone you would suggest to take such a position.
I've officially grown tired of this non-sense that's going on with our government. I'm not saying Susan isn't a good candidate, but I think it's a little fishy. I've read further into the Verizon-NSA aka the Journalist scandal and the NSA was ordering the records of all Verizon customers, which includes myself. I understand through the PATRIOT Act this was technically "legal" but this is getting out of hand and some of us, including myself, are simply allowing it to happen because we lack the will to do any more than complain on the web about it.
Good, let's drop the pretense since that's all it ever was, lip service nothing more.
Now we're going to see the real Obama and after the start of next year I'm thinking the less rabid kool aide drinking Obama supporters will be so disgusted they'll wonder what the hell they did to themselves.
Yeah, I don't think it's going to play out that way. LOL
She's just as President Obama said, a magnificent public servant. She's supremely qualified, a brilliant woman, and far superior to anyone you would suggest to take such a position.
Absurd, your view.
She just might make a good national security advisor, who knows? One thing is for certain, since being outed as a blatant liar for Obama's disinformation campaign about Benghazi, she'll certainly be grateful for being kept in the power loop. You know that saying about keeping your friends close but your enemies closer? You don't want to turn your friends into enemies either, especially after they've been publicly humiliated. She'll be a useful tool for Obama.
Susan Rice went on national TV to tell everyone that the Benghazi attacks were cause by people watching a video they didn't like.
She got it so wrong, in so many ways, so many times, about what was going on in this foreign country, that people have been wondering if she was a flagrant liar or merely boundlessly stupid.
And this is who the President of the United States has selected to advise him on the most sensitive matters going on in foreign countries.
Yes, really.
What's next? Choosing as Treasury Secretary, a man who can't even fill out his own taxes correctly, and then turns around and blames a Turbo Tax program?

Susan Rice to replace Donilon as national security adviser
Published June 05, 2013
FoxNews.com

Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador who drew criticism for her initial account of the Benghazi terror attack, has been named as national security adviser, a senior White House official confirmed to Fox News.
Rice will replace Tom Donilon, who is resigning from the post. Rice, the current U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, does not need Senate confirmation for the job.
The ambassador had earlier been considered in the running for the secretary of State post, which does require confirmation, but withdrew from consideration amid the continuing fallout over her role following the Benghazi attack.
Rice went on five Sunday shows after the attack and claimed it was triggered by protests over an anti-Islam film, an explanation many lawmakers said at the time was inaccurate. The administration later acknowledged there were no protests on the ground in Benghazi, though they have not officially ruled out that protests elsewhere may have played a role.
The administration, under pressure from the media and Republicans, last month released the so-called "talking points" which showed officials drafting and re-drafting their storyline in advance of Rice's appearance. The intelligence community did cite demonstrations -- however, references to militant and Islamic extremist groups, and to prior security warnings and incidents, were ultimately stripped out after objections from various administration officials.
Well, at least she will probably do a better job in her new role than the POTUS. But I agree, this current administration is an absolute joke. A pretty bad joke at that, as most of us are not laughing. Unfortunately, their failure, and the libs failure at the voting booth, will continue to drag this nation down.
LOL, & you're not politically partisan along w/the rest of your little conservative friends? You've all got a witch hunt against Rice w/absolutely no proof. It's your own heresay. Conservatives shoot themselves in the foot over & over again.
It's a good thing they shoot themselves in the foot, too. We know them by their limp.
The national Security Advisor is always a partisan. They are almost always old close advisors who have been with the President of the moment for a long time.
Here are a few of the better known ones from the past:
Condoleezza Rice
Henry Kissinger
Colin Powell
Zbigniew Brzezinski
The one thing they all share is high intelligence. Most have come from academia and/or the Pentagon, and most have been both influential and controversial. As advisors, the job needs no congressional approval, and they are always targets for the party that's out of power.

Another ridiculous view from the Right
