As the president expressed outrage over the atrocity of members of Congress holding administration officials accountable, he said, "I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador? Who had nothing to do with Benghazi?"
Feast on those words for a second: The U.N. Ambassador had "nothing to do with Benghazi." At this point, the White House press corps should have flown into a frenzy, demanding to know why a person who had nothing to do with Benghazi was put on five Sunday talk shows as...the face of Benghazi!
This was an issue that had people scratching their heads the day of the Rice interviews, and plenty of questions were asked as to where Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was, and why Rice was put out instead. The administration at the time acted as though there was nothing remarkable about it, even though there clearly was.
But now we know -- straight from the lips of the president of the United States -- that they sent out a person who knew "nothing" about Benghazi to explain an atrocious attack against the United States that killed a U.S. ambassador and three other Americans serving their country abroad.
No temper tantrum from the White House on the insult of being questioned about a terror attack against the U.S. abroad would be complete without their perennial favorite: the straw man.
The conceit of Obama's argument is that people are picking on a helpless girl -- a lowly U.N. ambassador -- because they are afraid of the big bad president.
Oh, please.

The MSM have been exposed as being prostitute-PRflacks.
Every single one of them is dumber than a box of rocks,
and without shame among them.
He was doing his “Andrew Shepard” imitation from the movie American President.
Actually, by putting a marginal executive out to give the statements...never backing the statements up with facts later....says a lot about the lack of leadership. They knew that Rice would draw the negativity. She will fall by the side of the road as they dump her from consideration for Secretary of State in three weeks. The Senate will be shocked to find only 45 votes for her...not enough to approve.
It’s good to see obama knows how to vigorously defend one his ambassadors. Too bad he couldn’t have done the same on 9/11/12.
Heck, Obama should have gone on the talk shows to since he did not know anything about Benghazi. He went to bed and headed for Vegas the next morning.
This from someone who is hardly right wing! Quite the opposite!
Similar to “a bridge too far”, this may up being one lie too many. Unfortunately it happens long after the election and the affect on this POS will be zero, just like him.
I detest this person.
She’s just a poor little colored girl who doesn’t know any better. Leave her alone!
The party of strong women who don’t need the sexist men of the patriarchy to make their way in a cold, cruel world where women are oppressed finds itself saying that women are indeed helpless, fragile creatures who need big, strong, sexist men to help them in a cold, cruel world.
My. He’s a petulant little islamist.
Don’t tell Kirsten’s leftist admirers. They’ll be shocked.
Kirsten has be straying WAY off the reservation. Wait for her fellow leftists to try to destroy her. Come on over Kirsten, you would be a great addition to the Conservative Beautiful Women’s Club.
I meant “BEEN”
