Obama to McCain: You can’t stop Susan Rice from being Secretary of State
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/14/2012 | Joel Gehrke

Posted on 11/14/2012 12:57:25 PM PST by mojito

President Obama, irritated by Republican pledges to prevent Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice from receiving a promotion, said that Rice’s critics “have a problem with me.”

“When they go after the UN ambassador apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me,” Obama told reporters today. “And should I choose — if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity of the State Department [head] then I will nominate her, but that’s not a determination I’ve made yet.”

Obama was responding to a press conference held by three GOP senators this morning. “We will do whatever’s necessary to block the nomination that’s within our power as far as Susan Rice is concerned,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told reporters today during a press conference on Capitol Hill. McCain faulted Rice for saying that the Benghazi terrorist attack grew out of a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam Youtube video.

To Obama the US Constitution is but a technicality—sans a serious challenge from a Tea Party congressman in a leadership position...

...fuggitaboutit.

Two of the lamest Republican members of the Senate. They will give mere lip service and then cave as always and she will be a slam dunk.

Again, this is what the elites, who own both factions of this corrupt"Two-Party Cartel" expect from these so-called conservatives. It is their job to talk a story & side with the commies. Shame elections have consequences.

They must all be in it together. How anyone can be in the same room with Obama and not hurl themselves at his head- is beyond understanding. I have no faith in John McCain to do anything. None of them are going to do anything. They are all along for a ride on the gravy train.It is us against them

This has to be it. Count me in also.

McPain IS a RINO but I REALLY would not want to PISS him off, he COULD get ugly.

You have reason to fear him; you're a Conservative. Other NWO type like 0 don't have reason to fear him.

What gets me is how the Democrat Party and the MSM are blindly enabling the ever growing fascist tyranny of Obama...

Don't they know that they too will be riding with us who opposed Obama in the Gulag bound cattle cars, we for our patriotic dissent and they for being contemptible useful idiots unworthy of inclusion...but then “I told you so” is a superfluous sentiment in Hell.

It was McCain who harassed Bush into letting Rumsfeld go and dictated who should replace him. McCain likes being a pain, feeling important. It will be interesting to see what he does with this challenge from Obama.

Fight’s on then, Barry.

You needs 2/3rds in the Senate and you are drawing such a stark ideoloogical line (who’d a thunk it?) that even the RINOs will fear to cross it for fear of losing their cushy jobs.

So go right ahead, Barry...push it til it breaks.

Fight on! Never Falter, Never Waver

These people never know until way too late. It was like the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. They went around carrying out random violence and assassinations of anybody deemed “conservative” by the Communist parties, and then when the Communists took over...guess what, the anarchists were the first to go. They were not “politically mature” and were a force that the Communists weren’t sure they could control once they had served their useful purpose.

I, like you, like to think McShame would stand up to the majority in the senate. I’d love to see him and others filibuster this witch until it becomes obvious Barry needs to nominate someone else. He’s talking tough, let’s see f he walks the walk.

Exactly. You are more correct than you might know. That is exactly the way to fight a narcistic liberal fascist.

Actually, if there is no Obama, there can be no Obama nomination. therefore, the arrogant statement was erroneous

Obama talks and acts with more passion against the GOP than he does against the terrorists that threaten us, what does that tell you?

Let me try to make sense of Obama’s nonsensical statement:

“When you say she’s a poor choice, you’re criticizing me for choosing her, but I haven’t decided whether to choose her or not, so nanner nanner nanner.”

And THAT is the President of the United States of America and the leader of the free world speaking.

Sheesh.
