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.

Triple-cat.
Republicans ought to just needle this a-hole until he launches into a profanity laced tirade and bursts into tears.
I'm breaking out the popcorn and beer ...
“When they go after the UN ambassador apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me,”
Our ghetto gangsta president- even more the funny because it’s an act. He was raised a rich kid of privilege, and sent to expensive private schools, in Hawaii. Thats far far from Compton.
Is this what they promised Rice when she was sent out to lie for the regime? The SoS slot?
I don’t know how he can be stopped. He has control of the Senate.
That idiot obama truly has no idea what is and is not Constitutional... but pissing on republican Senators with egos as big as his... he will lose... DOW down over 100 points today... they hate obama too!
LLS
2/3 senate approval required for an appointee. It’ll take the demholes ten, or maybe as long as 15 minutes to find a dozen republican fools anxious to reach across the aisle and approve any loser Obama appoints.
“...then they’ve got a problem with me,” Obama told reporters today.”
Mr. Obama, there are a LOT of us who have a problem with you...
Yeah, we got a problem with you, a$$wipe.
Proving that Obama is as stupid as I always thought he was. Susan is going down Fur Shur.
Takes 60 votes to stop a Filibuster. The POS Dems ONLY have 55. McPain IS a RINO but I REALLY would not want to PISS him off, he COULD get ugly.

Could be. She was willing to pimp out her black status to make her immune from criticism by the right. I’m sure her deal was to get a good title in return.
He’s pretty tough when standing behind a podium or his wife...get him away from that protection and he’s the mom jeans, limp wristed, bike helmet wearing, whiny wannabe we see every other day.
I hope he enjoys it now...the common action after the mention of his name will be spitting on the ground. History will not be kind and God not impressed.
Even if he didn't have control of the Senate Obama still can't be stopped. He'll just by-pass it. What would the Republicans do?
Answer: About the same as they're doing now about the 2012 Voter Fraud.
EO: Immigration... oh such a long list and pile of paperwork on John Boehner's desk.
Shut your mouth and get me some coffee, boy. That's all you're qualified to do.
This proposal makes Jimmy Carter look like the very model of gravitas.
Play the black card all you want what’s the worse they can do now?
Hand me that towel and brush off my shoulders. Now!
King Obama telling McCain, once again, that He Won! I’m not encouraged that McCain will follow through. He’s probably just angling for some gift from ‘nice guy’ Barry Obama.
Sometimes I wonder if this is Kabuki opera and they’ve already decided at the Washington bars to let Susan get rejected as a kind of quid pro quo between the Republicans and Democrats.
Wow. Zero sure is full of himself, especially since he knows he has media backing, who will cover him on everything.
I'm with you.
Sabotage - with or without our help - seems to be the best strategy.
Now that's funny!
Ron White: "I think because of the unrest in the Middle East, we're all becoming more aware of the globe. I found out the other day there really is a place called Bumfuk, Egypt. And the only way to get there is to go up Shit Creek."
I don’t think you’d want to be near this guy with a razor in his hand
Gangsta Government
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.
It's completely appropriate. The Worst President Ever should have the Worst Cabinet Ever. Let's go for it ... appoint the clinically insane to high office. Let's see what the demonicRat Party is really all about. If we're gonna crash and burn, let's do it up right.
Care for a beer?
When they go after the UN ambassador apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me,” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hell , half the country has a problem with Obama and has for years. Yet Obama thinks having a problem with “Him” is anything new? LOL.
Eff this son of a hoover
Fascist alarms are going off all across the country.
In other words, the Senate and House no longer matter.
As predicted. He was re-elected, and empowered. Now, no one can stop him or his minions with completing his destruction of the US.
Susan Rice would be much better off fleeing town.
When it comes to organizing a Gang Of something to muck up the works of the Senate, McCain is your guy.
Well, they haven't given lip service so far on Ben Ghazi.
In fact, they have been as or more outspoken than anyone.
Your tagline is a perfect description of the Barry 0dinga regime.
It will never happen now to save face for 0 she will decline!
That line in the sand was false.
All that Backbone will be lost and forgotten.
Let’s go for it ... appoint the clinically insane to high office. Let’s see what the demonicRat Party is really all about. If we’re gonna crash and burn, let’s do it up right.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Bring back that a$$hat Van Jones.Make him Ambassador to the United Nations.
I would advise people to stand back a way from Obama -
His head is getting so big it’s ready to explode.
America used to neutralize traitors like Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen; now we glorify traitors like Rice and Osama. If this nation had any sense left, we would be howling for the blood of these Islamofascist double agents.
Except for the nuclear option, they truly can block Susan Rice’s appointment.
I’d prefer he nominate Colin Powell, and I’m sure since his Pal Powell needs a chance to redeem himself from those nasty wmds that Barack will give Powell the break he needs to cleanse his historic record. /sarc
Al Sharpton for Attorney General. Barney Frank for Secretary of HHS. Al Gore for Secretary of Energy.
Seriously ... Barry S0et0r0 is going to screw things up royally; let him, and his toadies, and his handlers own the whole mess.
Popcorn.
Beer.
It's what's for dinner.
“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.
Well yes. Along with 50 plus million American voters, 95 percent of the military, almost every business owner in America and unborn babies......
Time to put Susan Rice on the stand. Ask her under oath if she was told to say ‘protest over a video’. Then ask her if she was promised a promotion in exchange for lying for her boss. She KNEW what she said wasn’t true.
Might as well get under his skin until he acts stupidly.
That’s what Romney failed to do, because it wasn’t in his nature. But now the GOP has nothing to lose. Game on.
The States are the last line of defense.
