Watching while the grown ups work.
I'd swear if you look at this picture you'd have no idea he's the prez.
He looks like the intern who carries the general's bag.

"Where is Hillary?"
That was the question then-U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice's mother asked when she told her she would be appearing on all five Sunday morning political shows on Sept. 16, 2012 — just five days after the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The plan was to appear in place of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at the White House’s request.
"I smell a rat,” her mother said. “This is not a good idea. Can't you get out of it?"
The exchange was detailed in Rice's new book, “Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For," as she recalled what led to and what fueled the biggest political controversy of her government career — those appearances on "Fox News Sunday," ABC's "This Week," CBS' "Face the Nation," NBC's "Meet the Press," and CNN's "State of the Union.” Her flawed characterization of the attacks as resulting from a spontaneous protest later made her the target of GOP criticism that ultimately led to her withdrawing from consideration to succeed Clinton as secretary of state.
Looking back, Rice insisted in her book that she does not believe Clinton set her up – Rice's mother feels differently – but recognizes that Clinton and National Security Adviser Tom Donilon likely knew what was coming.
"I do believe that Hillary Clinton and Tom Donilon appreciated what I did not," Rice said. "The first person to tell the public about a highly political tragedy was likely to pay a price."

Where was “President” Obama during the 13 hours?
She utterly ass-clowned herself by promoting the “YouTube video did it” propaganda
Tough love? She was born, raised, educated and worked in a lefty hothouse.
She’s had it easy - never more so than when lying her fool head off. Which has been often.
Rice is an inveterate liar.
Her son is not a stupid as she is, being a republican, although I’m sure that he is the beneficiary of her black privilege.
I think we all did.
Well, if you lay down with dogs...
REMEMBER BENGHAZI!
Ty, you are NOT forgotten.
THat pig Clinton, AND that scum Obama lied
to the face of Ty Woods father, while his son lay
in a flag-covered coffin 10 feet away.
Why does that? Democraps!
Remember Benghazi!
Waterboard Obama and Clinton (on this matter alone)
No.....when the first person to tell a lie about the tragedy....that's the one to pay the price.
Susan isn't as smart as she would like us to think if she didn't know this was a setup.
How about "The first person to LIE to the public about a highly political tragedy was likely to pay a price."
Should be prison as the price.

Unless you’re going to reveal the whereabouts and actions of Ebony and Ivory during the attack, then you’ve exhausted my interest in your memoir.
Reggie’s arms?...................
Good post. I also recommend anyone reading this to watch “13 Hours”, the movie, to see a pretty accurate movie on Benghazi.
She knew she was lying.
They kept up the “video did it” lie when they knew all along it wasn’t true.
“”The first person to tell the public about a highly political tragedy was likely to pay a price.””
Yeah. That is terrible. Almost as bad as being dragged to a hospital in the streets of Benghazi. (sarcasm)
I still think that he was photoshopped into that picture. No way his ego would allow him to be crammed into the corner, like an afterthought, while Hillary and Slow Joe get seats at the table like they are more important.
He was still on the golf course when they took that photo and they just added him into an open space in the photo later to cover for him.
It was less than 60 days until the election!
It’s too bad about Susan Rice. She was so young and had so much to live for. I was shocked to hear about her suicide next week.
