Susan Rice bolts from podium, unable to answer reporters' questions at White House press briefing

The National Security Advisor of the United States did something astonishing yesterday. In the middle of a reporter’s questioning, she bolted from the podium of the White House pressroom, saying, “Nice to see you,” fleeing a situation she evidently was unable to cope with.

The question that caused Ms. Rice to flee was a fairly simple one: whether or not the president has authorized the bombing of targets in Syria. Rice responded multiple times that the timing of strikes would not be released, but that was not the question at hand, and reporters pressed her on whether her boss had authorized strikes.

Astounding? Not really. If the prepared notes don't have an answer, you turn tail and run. How many of these so called expert appointees have ever had an original thought? Can they think on the fly? Just more proof of the incompetence of this admin and the flunkies that make it up. Face palm. Are there any adults at all running this train wreck? Uh, don't look like it.

If that would have been Condi Rice, it would have been major news.

Susan Rice is a bad joke, as is anyone that would appoint her to run anything.

cruz walks off after realizing there was no reason to stay.. It’s front page above the fold news.

this looser runs off and it’s hardly news..

It became a bad movie a couple of years ago. Now it’s a comedy.

If that had been Condi Rice she could have told you what the ID numbers on the bombs were. LOL!!! But sadly we are currently surrounded by the unknowing led by the uncaring. That is why Putey’s war planes are entering our airspace at will and China now thinks it can send its ships and subs our way.

The entire Obama administration, beginning with Obama himself, is a living testimony to the Peter Principle. They have all been promoted far above their ability to achieve success. This presidency is sinking, and Susan Rice isn’t able to find an escape hatch.

A comedy that could get us all killed.

[Common Sense 101]

Now it’s a comedy.

I see it as a tragedy... a nightmare that we can ot get up from. Not sure why the enemedia is surprised - an affirmative action ass clown administration filled with affirmative action underlings who couldn't get a job anywhere but the gubmint. Susan Rice, National Security Advisor - absolutely unbelievable.

SuzyQ probably had to go to the bathroom real bad.

[Iron Munro]

It’s not Slippery Susan’s fault that her programmers didn’t have the answer programmed on the teleprompter.

How was she supposed to know what to say if she hadn’t been properly briefed and coached?

Not all of us, but...see my tag line. I believe it now more than ever.

[yldstrk]

she is so bad

[CMailBag]

This ENTIRE administration is like a SNL skit, particularly the Barbies at the State Dept.

[rktman]

Weird huh. I kinda thought that she’d get briefed by her underlings/henchmen and then answer the “journalists” questions with firm answers. Guess not. This has long been NOT funny anymore.

[Chode]

lets face it, the cow didn't get the job for it's ability to think on it's feet...

[rktman]

Stop insulting cows dang it. They have some value. The rice cake, not so much.
