Susan Rice is a quitter

[Byng]

I agree - after reading her letter she appears a little foolish.

This has got to be the post of the year, regardless of the fact there are 3 weeks left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sushilover]

Susie Rice has always struck me as being lazy and incompetent, similar to Barry Obama.

[soulflower]

I read Rice's resignation letter. In it she says that the position should not be politicized, talked about a time when the confirmation process was non-partisan, etc.

She has a short memory. Condoleezza Rice had to endure a nasty process as well. Susan Rice should have firmed up her spine.

I don't think there was ever a sense that Condoleeza might not get confirmed. She was confirmed 87-13.

In this case, with even the most moderate republican senators opposing Susan Rice's nomination, and a nasty political fight brewing over the Fiscal Cliff, there's a real chance that Obama didn't have the votes to get her confirmed.

I'm not sure if the decision to withdraw was Obama's or Rice's but it certainly was political...

Are you comparing the concerns re Rice to the concerns re this Rice? Wow.

NSA during 9/11. The mouthpiece who trumpeting we didn't want the "smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" and bolstered the false allegiations of nuclear weapons in Iraq?

Presented the talking points re Benghazi on Sunday morning talk shows she had been given by the intelligence community?

Yeah that's the same.

LOL. Before she became another reason to screech about Obama, you wouldn't have been able to pick Susan Rice out of a lineup.

[The Shadow]

Her Obama White House handlers didn't want her in a confirmation hearing that would have brought focus, detailed attention, and forced media coverage to the Benghazi-Gate Scandal, that the MSM has largely and purposely ignored to protect Obama. So she "voluntarily" removed her name from consideration.

Social skills is also a qualification a Sec. of State should posses. Susan Rice is well known at being abrasive which she has admitted in interviews, and she can be very defensive. Not the qualities you when representing the president.

James Baker was one of our better Secretary's of State, and Baker did not mix words with anybody!

Should never be partisan . . . according to S. Rice.

There is a huge difference between being a straight shooter and being abrasive and defensive.

[zenwalk]

For those keeping count that's two able bodied competent public servants lost to Republican blundering: Petraeus and Rice. This is just one more more example of their ongoing struggle to bring the government to its knees.

[rla20cpa]

A press conference .... really? Don't you have to be "nominated" before you withdraw?

Baker wasn't abrasive???? LOL

[SalisburySage]

This is what happens when you sacrifice yourself on Obama's altar. Let this be a lesson to those who fall for Obama's crock of excrement. He just used her and then threw her under the bus.

Nope. Just those incompetent bureaucrats involved in the Benghazi cover-up.

Hillary Clinton is next.

She probably believed the whole world was sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for her waiting to see what she would do. Now everyone can sit back in their seats and sigh in collective disappointment.

I don't really know. Ask Byng.

Do you have a link to this resignation letter?? I though she simply withdrew her name from consideration to replace Hilary as the next Secretary of State..

As far as I know, she will still be a UN ambassador...Did she resign from her post?

[Byng]

Nope. Just those incompetent bureaucrats involved in the Benghazi cover-up.

There has to be a crime before there can be a cover-up!
