Fox News self-described liberal political analyst Kirsten Powers tore into President Barack Obamas full-throated defense of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice over her response to the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Unlike the conservative critics who take issue with Obamas defense for obvious reason, Powers was offended by it because of what she believes was a sexist tone.
In her Fox News column, Powers described the presidents performance as bizarrely casting Rice as some delicate flower the boys should stop picking on for her post-Benghazi comments. There is no damsel in distress and Obamas paternalistic bravado in defense of a top administration official is going to come back to haunt him, Powers wrote.
The Democratic analyst took particular exception with Obama characterizing Rice as an easy target, writing that its absurd and chauvinistic for Obama to talk about the woman he thinks should be Secretary of State of the United States as if she needs the big strong man to come to her defense because a couple of Senators are criticizing her.
She continued: The conceit of Obamas 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.
If she is so weak and helpless that she cant handle the critisism coming her way over this then there is no doubt she is not strong enough to be a Sec. of State. !!
I wonder what happened to the 1970’s battle cry “we are wimmins, hear us roar.” Theres no roaring coming from Rice. She needs big, bad bammer to protect her.
...self-described liberal political analyst Kirsten Powers tore into President Barack Obama's full-throated defense of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice...
Commie bimbo calls it right. Once.
Same track record as the occasionally sane Juan Williams.
Whoop-ti-doo.
Never count on kirsten powers.
Good for Kirsten. She’s a liberal, but she tries to be fair-minded.
There was a great shot on Bret Baier’s panel the other day: Laura Ingraham and Kirsten Powers sitting right next to each other.
When things got hot, Hillary disappeared. When things got hotter, Rice had to be defended by a MAN! So people, would you want EITHER of these scardy cat girls as your President? Well, three scardy cat girls if you count Obama.
I don’t like KP at all, and turn her off whenever she comes on!
Maybe Powers remembers that when TSHTF, Condoleeza Rice stood there and took the arrows. She didn’t need the help of any MAN! The liberal Democrat females react differently. When things go wrong, they can hide behind a liberal media or a strong MAN! Yeah, they want equality, top jobs and equal pay. But when it gets rough, they break like little girls. (Thanks Bob Dylan)
She has improved while Juan Williams (who was never good) is loud spoken and confident ever since Obama won. I have to mute the imbecile. He spoils everything he is on.

Williams isn’t even occasionally right anymore. He is 100% back on the plantation.
Yeah, but when you consider that she dated Anthony Weiner... in just kills any sexual thoughts--
Is that a fact...She dated Weiner? Noooooo....
