Between ISIS attacks, Russian aggression in Syria and Ukraine, and Brexit, it can feel a lot like the world has been falling apart these past few years.
So it’s surprising — and perhaps a little disconcerting — to learn that Susan Rice, President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, is actually optimistic about the state of the world right now.
"This is a much more hopeful and positive period in history than we have seen certainly in our lifetimes," she told me in early August when I sat down with her in the White House to talk about the Obama administration’s foreign policy. "I tell my kids this: that they couldn’t be luckier to be living in this world at this time."

“Everything’s just fine! Now be sure to vote for Hillary, you idiots!”
I disagree about Brexit. That is a good thing for greater freedom and prosperity.
If she'd ever be honest, it's not now.
Outgoing administrations keep repeating everything is great because it's their last chance to influence the public.
The problem with the ‘rope-a-dope’ management of our foreign pollicy is that we have enabled massive unrest in the middle east, allowed Iran to get the Bomb, ignored Islamic expansion in South America, imported potentially thousands of terrorists into the country by weak immigration control and now Russia and China are making aggressive moves and troop movements near our borders. -All of which includes a down sizing of our military preparedness.
This is a recipe for a large future war.
Dude, what you said about Brexit.
It’s a no braimer.
She has to be one of the stupidest people ever to hold such a high position.
This is the woman who went on every Sunday show to peddle the lie about the video.
It was a deliberate lie.
They knew it was a jihad attack.

“Everything is AWESOME.” Happy talk.
Our own Bagdad Bob, the seriously deluded Susan Rice.
