Embattled U.N. envoy Susan Rice is dropping out of the running to be the next secretary of state after months of criticism over her Benghazi comments, she told NBC News on Thursday.

Her record in the Clinton administration is much more disqualifying...and that could get a lot of attention if she had to face confirmation hearings.
Chuck Hagel could knock on the door of 99.9% of folks in the country and they’d have no idea who he was.
Most of the country doesn’t see him as anything.
Other than another almost 70 yr old white guy DC insider.
I’m not saying Hagel will really hurt him, but I don’t see Obama getting any huge boost politically. I mean a name I had seen mentioned was this Michelle Flournoy. Now, if Obama had named the first woman SecDef that would have been an event and may have helped him. Hagel won’t really make any waves or anything.
As far as what Hagel would mean for the military I’m not an expert on him(he seems to me like he’ll pretty much be a continuation of Gates and Panetta at the Pentagon) but in the end as long as Obama is in the WH the SecDef is really irrelevant. Obama pulls all the strings.
what a UN liar ... hell bound liar who just deceived the American people on multiple liar shows... liars all make it to hell unless ... but liberals hate and reject God and Christ... so good riddance forever
You mean now the post will have to be filled by someone other than the child of an international banker?
Children of international bankers in the administration:
- Barack Obama. Mom and grandma were bankers.
- TC Geithner. Obama’s mom and his dad were at the Ford Foundation running international banking.
- Susan Rice. Father was Emmett J Rice. Former governor of the Federal Reserve System.
Lots of bankers and bankers kids in this administration.
So you make my point for me. True nobody may know him but the media will tell us R so Obama is bi partisan.
Hadn’t seen that since you called it to my attention. Very interesting indeed.
Interesting - dropping out without ever being nominated?
You know, I’m glad to see Susan Rice out of the running . . . now I’m sad to see John Kerry in the running for the spot.
She is just afraid of what dirt will be found when we start digging into her background...
