Benghazi Index
yeah, like who cares if susan rice is a hermaphrodite martian, she just fed us unadulterated bull shiite. sorry she ain’t the one, barack. try again and thanks for playing.
These SENATORs are telling us that Susan Rice isn’t even answering their questions behind closed doors ...

Talk is cheap. I will believe when she is sent home without a new job.
None of this really matters, does it? If the Fuhrer wants Rice to be SOS, it will be done.
The only answer that comes to mind is that Hillary is involved and deeply and she has gone to ground to protect herself and her putative future (Wow, look at those critical missions to Peru and Australia that are more important than testifying before Congress). Susan Rice was the only dependable liar available to give the Obama reelection team cover.
It worked, didn't it?
Probably make her National Security Advisor, an position that doesn’t require senate confirmation,...Donilon would have to be moved somewhere else.
It’s not about State
It’s about 2016
Beating Hillary
In Racial Rochambeau, Black beats Woman. At least it did in 2012. However, in 2016, Woman beats Black, because we already did the Black thing.
In order to beat Woman in 2016, you need Black-Woman.
But when the Obamabots start casting about for a black woman of stature in an elected position in the Democratic Party, they come up with a pretty thin bench. So, if they are going to have a Black-Woman contender in 2016, they will have to manufacture one.
That is why Susan Rice was plucked from obscurity and thrust on the national stage. That is why Obama wants her as Secretary of State. He needs a Black-Woman with the credentials to go up against Hillary in 2016, and Susan Rice was his best shot.
Obie must be pleased Rice is the issue instead if his malfeasance surrounding Amb Stevens murder. What is he covering up? His failed Arab Spring policy. Gun running in the ME Evidence of same in the embassy that took the FBI 3 weeks to investigate. Bottom line seems to be that slaughter of our people in Benghazi (while we watched) was the price that had to be paid to keep his tottering campaign afloat.
Craven depravity doesn’t adequately describe this episode. Lets get to the underlying motivations of Rice’s actions.
‘Bammy needs Rice there in place of Hillary. If/ when somebody decides he AND Biden need impeachin’ or worse, the SOS is the next in line. Ms Hillary is a little too presidential looking and a little too hungry to keep around for much longer.
Beginning to think Rice is a cut-out, but far more fascinated why Bobo is so resistant to Lurch at State.
I don’t see how John Kerry is an improvement over Susan Rice, or Hillary Clinton, for that matter. We’re stuck with an anti-military, anti-American-power ideologue, in all cases. If we fight Kerry, we’ll probably get Dennis Kucinich.
Fighting these appointments is useless. Give the dude a blank check on the appointments and fight the policies.
I’m guessing the Senators want to help Kerry get the job.
Sounds like the talking points she was given this time didn’t work any better than the first set. Here is a woman that can really think on her feet...the whole damned administrations uses a TelePrompTer!
What I wonder is will her obvious disrespect shown the RINO senators effect their obviously desperate desire to get along with the Obama regime in its second term.
Can you say “recess appointment?”
Constitutionally, though, the “end-around” type recess appointment does not satisfy constitutional muster. A real recess appointment has to do with a crisis loss of a critical member of the administration during a constitutional recess.
Some day, someone will challenge this “recess appointment” trash interpretation that has been abused by both parties for generations.
If she fails confirmation, then Zero will give her a job and send here everywhere as if she was SOS while leaving the position officially open, playing it up in the media that those RACIST Republicans are just playing politics. The public has no idea that Benghazi was about gun running. This is an “up yours” in your face assertion of power and that the President MAY not be held accountable for anything.
My reading of her career indicates that Rice is just another bad-tempered affirmative action dullard promoted way beyond her competence by guilty white Liberals. Her snarky closed-door sessions with senators proves it. How DARE they challenge her or The One! A close look at her student and employment records would, I believe, be an eye-opener.
