Not that surprised, I have a feeling that there are too many "issues" swirling around Rice, Samantha Power, and others in that dark area of this regime that they can't risk any light being shined in by the Senate confirmation process. Lurch will sail through with his colleagues overwhelming approval. I need to find out more about Hagel, barely know anything about him beyond his name. Considering that the Senate voted 100-0 to confirm a crypto-Communist to the post the last time, I suspect he gets an easy pass.

Betrayed by The One. Simple as that.

It must be because she is a black woman and McCain and Graham are old white men.

Isn't that what they said the problem was??

It was her throwing the CIA under the bus that cost her the SoS job. Scuttlebutt is the CIA was shovelling loads of stuff on her to the Senator's aides.

Rice would have made a terrible Sec. of State. So will Hagel or Kerry, whichever is chosen. Obama will not seek anyone that will not play his deceitful games of corruption.

I don't trust anyone that Obama chooses. He does not run with a crowd of honest and principled people.

Birds of a feather flock together.

I seem to remember headlines like this back when Clinton was President and they came to nothing. Liberal women, for all their bravado, are doormats for the men (and they lie down just as easily)

Andrea Mitchell: Women In Admin. "Very Angry" With Obama Over Susan Rice

Andrea interviewing MadCow. Suzie wasn't responsible for Benghazi and Obama should have fought for her. Obama probably figured, "Why bother? Underlings like her are a dime a dozen."

Kerry is a disgrace to Vietnam veterans. Those medals he threw over the White House fence he did not deserve. Kerry is all pompous anti America, pro European. Nothing exceptional about America with him. Quite the contrary. America should not lead but move in a group only by consensus.

John Kerry as secretary of state is a joke. He's nothing but a paid gigolo..wait..I doubt he could even fulfill that role now.

Tonight I watched her intervidew on NBC Brian Williams followed by Andrea Mitchell commentary. They didn't hold her feet to the fire at all. Rice continued the lie that she was working from the CIA talking points when we all know from David Petraeus' testimony that the CIA talking points said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about any Muslim protest in Benghazi and were modified within the White House.

So the fabrication continues to this day and Rice cannot right herself or stop the charade.

It reminds me of when Dan Rather lost all sense about the Bush TANG story. To this day Rather insanely maintains that story was essentially true even though he had no evidence to back up its claims. And still has none.

A fine journalistic faux pas by Rather. A case of covering up the truth by Rice, Williams and Mitchell.
