Some bio:

Rice attended Stanford University, where she received a Truman Scholarship, and graduated with a BA in history in 1986. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.[9][10]
Awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, Rice attended New College, Oxford, where she earned a MPhil in 1988 and DPhil in 1990. The Chatham House-British International Studies Association honored her dissertation entitled, “Commonwealth Initiative in Zimbabwe, 1979-1980: Implication for International Peacekeeping” as the UK’s most distinguished in international relations.[5][11]
Marriage, family, and early career[edit]

Rice married Canadian-born ABC News producer Ian Officer Cameron[12] in 1992 at the St. Albans School chapel.[13] They met as students at Stanford.[14] They have two children.[8][9][15]

Rice was a foreign policy aide to Michael Dukakis during the 1988 presidential election. She was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, a global management consulting firm, from mid-1990 when she received her degree from Oxford to early 1992 when she worked for the Clinton campaign.[16] Rice worked in McKinsey’s Toronto office for a time.[17]

United States Ambassador to United Nations – Susan Rice

Even though she served on the National Security Council under President Clinton, Rice seems to have slept through the last two decades. She is fanatically pro-UN and wants the United States to work closely with the United Nations in order UN+Ambassador+Susan+Rice+Testifies+House+Committee+ujZYem6 I2el Obama Surrounds Himself with the Most Extreme Appointees in American Historyto carry out all kinds of humanitarian and military actions, seeming unaware that the UN has never been supportive of US interests. They don’t stop wars; they don’t sanction terrorist regimes, and their internal corruption is so pervasive they can’t even carry out humanitarian missions. But rather than hold the UN responsible for its obvious failings over the years, Rice blamed Bush for being “unilateral” and for “stiff-arming our partners.” She even sits on the board of the UN Fund for UNICEF, an agency which has been repeatedly caught giving aid to terrorists, and during the Cold War, assisting communist insurgents.

More seriously, she is overly cautious in regard to fighting terrorism. The former Ambassador to Sudan implicated Rice as the person who bungled the opportunity to take out Osama bin Laden when Sudanese officials offered him to the USA on a silver platter during the Clinton years.

She rejected their offer. There’s a good chance 9/11 could have been avoided if Rice had accepted the Sudanese offer. Apparently, even though she worked for the NSC, she didn’t regard Al-Qaeda as a threat. No wonder we were hit on 9/11. And now she’s our UN Ambassador? I wonder whose interests she will serve…probably the UNs.

They have a few insiders and they keep moving them about thus the messiah of theirs will never be held accountable and others take the fall.

And while Obama may enjoy moving Rice up as a thumb in the eye of his opponents, he risks even more political damage if more whistleblowers come forward at State — or more e-mails are forced into the open — that starts eroding Rice’s I-just-did-what-I-was-told defense. This administration is already facing a credibility crisis, and this won’t help at all.

“She gets promoted”

Actually, the regime is playing marxical chairs. The way this is played is, the players commit acts of treason, then the "music" starts consisting of rising choruses from conservative media. When it grows too loud, the players find new chairs to commit treason, the music lowers to a temporary din, and the game continues. Seems to me that no chairs are removed in this version...

This is the proptyical political move that defines Obama, because it exemplifies exactly who he is when you get beyond the veneer.

He is a man so overwhelmed with spite that all he truly lives for is to agitate and incite anger. He lives to stand there and twist his opponents noses and he loves, I would say he LIVES for, their response of anger.

He relishes making others angry.

At his core this IS all he is, a spite controlled bitter man who only seeks to agitate and anger people.

Its like an addiction for him.

Who told her to blame the video? The same people who say that the riots in Turkey are about a shopping center.

I would say that no matter who is giving NS advice to this president doesn’t matter, because he can’t comprehend it.

Once she starts that position she will fall under his umbrella of EP. He will try everything necessary to keep her from testifying before congress ... What does she know?

Donalon will leave the country and be unavailable soon! Convenient!

You gotta hand it to democrats. They never give in. they never stop fighting. They never compromise. They just plow ahead with their agenda and talking points. Republicans could learn something, but they won’t. They fight their own. They fire people, apologize, and cry and reach across the aisle and answer the absurd DNC talking point question setups from the media instead of keeping on message. It is just remarkable.
