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.

Republicans ought to just needle this a-hole until he launches into a profanity laced tirade and bursts into tears.

Go for it! Let Bam-Bam appoint the stupidest, most incompetent, most leftist ideologically driven freaks to every office in his regime. No sense trying to enforce sanity on the aggressively insane ... let them run completely amok, and crash spectacularly.

I'm breaking out the popcorn and beer ...

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?

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...

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.

Nominees have to be voted out of committee to receive a floor vote... it is simple... we block obama like they blocked Bush.

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.

This proposal makes Jimmy Carter look like the very model of gravitas.
