Rhodes’ path to foreign affairs stardom came while working for an MFA (at NYU), at which time he had little knowledge of foreign policy or even an interest in it. According to the Times, he had an epiphany after the 9/11 attacks and through his well-connected family (his mother was close friends with the publisher of Foreign Policy magazine) ended up as a staffer for former Congressman Lee Hamilton, a notorious critic of Israel, a topic about which he and Obama also appear simpatico. Rhodes’ older brother David currently is president of CBS News, though is it fair to assume that in that case, the younger brother’s connections to the White House greased the skids of the elder’s rise.

Everything that's wrong with DC, all in one guy.

I can not understand why everyone does not understand how dangerous obummer is to our country and to our lives as individuals.

Here we have a man who is a fake, a serial, if not pathological, liar who surrounds himself with people like Rhodes....and a congress that takes the position that there is nothing they can do about it and it is not all that important anyway.

When there are a few billion Muslims who would kill all of us at the first opportunity, Putin and the Chinese on the move, and we and the congress get our “facts” from the likes of obummer.

We will go the way of the Roman Empire if we do not wake up and do something about it.

The enemies are not at the gates, they are in our gates.
