Susan Rice's Resume
Moonbats shouldn't feel too upset about the grownups who have been invited to take part in the Obamination Administration. If the wacky Samantha Power isn't enough to reassure them, there's also Susan Rice, his pick for UN ambassador. Jeane Kirkpatrick or John Bolton she ain't.
As President Slick Willie's Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Rice was instrumental in blowing the opportunity to grab bin Laden in Sudan, pre-9/11.
Other highlights from Rice's career, via NRO:
• Taken to task by fellow Obama team member Power for asking in 2004, regarding genocide in Rwanda, "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?"
• Apparently lied about contact between Obama advisor Austan Goolsbee and the Canadian government.
• Said of both Obama and his Secretary of State, "they're both not ready to have that 3 am phone call."
• Lied about Obama having pledged to meet unconditionally with Iran's terrorist mullahcracy.
• Denounced W's undeniably successful counterterrorism strategies as "stupid."
• Pretended that Obama's pledge to retreat from Iraq in 16 months didn't constitute a deadline.
• Identified John McCain as the "aggressive" and "belligerent" villain when Russia invaded democratic Georgia.
But she's a woman of color, that's the important thing. Plus she praised The One by declaring that he "bows to nobody in his understanding of this world." No wonder Obama plans to elevate her job to a cabinet-level position.

Susan Rice is insane.
Looks like Gillerman will be the last sane person in that nut house. Turn out the lights when you leave, Dan.

No sanity or rules in this administration!!
Hillary to head State: Is it constitutional?
Founding Fathers included clause that prevents Clinton appointment
Barack Obama, it has been reported, intends to announce Sen. Hillary Clinton as his choice for secretary of state, an appointment America's Founding Fathers forbade in the U.S. Constitution.
The constitutional quandary arises from a clause that forbids members of the Senate from being appointed to civil office, such as the secretary of state, if the "emoluments," or salary and benefits, of the office were increased during the senator's term.
The second clause of Article 1, Section 6, of the Constitution reads, "No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office." http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=82374
One thing for sure - ole Barry has proven he won't let a silly thing like the Constitution get in his way before, Now this.

Another Moonbat terrorist appeaser -- a "perfect fit" indeed as U.N. Ambassador for the Obamanation. Look for ever increasing terrorist attacks (not in the USA, at first, but later . . .? Who knows), sympathy for the jihadis killed (murdered?) by the forces of evil (we call them law-enforcement), and dismissal of all the civilian casualties (just a number; might be a BIG number, but still just a number -- Beslan, anyone?).
Oh, wait a minute! It's already started (Mumbai, anyone?). By the way, I haven't heard any real condemnation from the "Office of the President-Elect" (what a joke!) of the recent slaughter (not that I really expected one). Surprise me, Barry, and state flat-out: "Kill even one American, on our soil or abroad, and we will be merciless in exterminating you and everyone around you." Yeah, I know -- Dream on!
Of course, in about 31 days, it's YOUR War On Terrorism, Barry, whether you want it or not!
