Secretary Clinton had originally been asked by networks to go on. She declined to do it.
-- Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, talking to NBC News.
The Obama Democrats are today furious at the opposition of Republicans that ended the bid of presidential favorite U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to replace outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Rice, a stalwart retainer of the House of Obama, knows that Clinton, the matriarch of the rival Democratic clan, let the ambitious ambassador take the fall.

But this would be sort of like being upset at the bear that trashed your campsite in search of your food. The bear was just being a bear, like Lindsey Graham and John McCain were just being themselves. Bears like peanut butter and Republican senators like to bedevil controversial Democratic appointees.
The real question is who forgot to seal up the cooler and hang the rest of the chow from a tree branch. Who enticed the bears into camp?
Rice, a friend and confidante of President Obama, gave the answer on Thursday night in an interview with NBCs Brian Williams. It was Clinton herself that set in motion what would become the shambles of Rices once-inevitable march into the top cabinet slot for the second Obama term.
It was a round of Sunday show interviews in the wake of the Sept. 11 raid by Islamist militiamen in Libya that ultimately doomed Rices chance to have the top job. Rice, no doubt looking for the chance to burnish her profile on big issues, sallied forth the following Sunday to lay out the administration talking points that the deadly attack was a spontaneous result of riots over a YouTube video offensive to Muslims.

I agree that will be the tactic. It will be about as real as Obama’s tear jerker...

This is funny. These two Marxist beeyotches are fighting like musical chairs to keep the other under Obama's bus...
I kind of enjoyed watching Hillary tie the admin into knots and then send in the "dog hate my homework" excuse...

LOUDER, please..
Grab that B by the nap of her neck, and drag her ass down to Congress so she can plead the fifth fifty times, and get this over with.

Which as we all know can be the reason for short term memory loss!

Hillary, just like the voting offical in Florida, gets sick. Then everything goes away and is never mentioned again. The Libs are masters at “running out the clock”.

He knows the civil lawsuits from the victim’s families are coming forthwith, therefore her reluctance to testify before Congress.

Watching these to clowns talk about God and scripture, is about as enlightening as watching Charles Manson talk about consideration for your fellow man.
I’m surprised Hillary and Barack don’t stand back to back when they’re at the same event, covering each others ass being core to their existence.
If she does indeed hate him, it’s undoubtedly because she sees far too much of herself in him.

Looks like there have been a lot of concussions in DC over the years. In fact, apparently Hillary and Kerry have suffered a few. Just check out their positions early last year when the Syrian Rebellion was beginning and compare it to their positions today.

And some people still wonder why no one wants to trust a progressive.

Well I would not rebut that statement. :)

Who witnessed the fall? What hospital was she admitted to? Where is the proof?
This crap takes the place of the ‘I don’t recall’ tactic.
Well played, Hill, well played.

Hillary, just keep repeating...
I don’t remember.
I don’t recall.

Vinny the chin tried a stunt like this and didn’t get away with it, but thunder thighs will.

She should not be allowed to get away with this trick.She will not only get away with it, she will prosper from it. No rat will ever be held accountable for anything, past, present, or future, not now, not ever. I wish I could be more positive than that, but I can't.

Hillary is an amoral person and a lousy Sec. of State, but when it comes to political maneuvering and positioning, she is smarter than that super computer that beats chess masters and wins Jeopardy. She made sure the admin’s Benghazi lie stuck to Ms Rice, not her and she will keep having excuses for not answering the House on Benghazi all the way to 11/2016.

You’re right, the FREE REPUBLIC exists only in concept and is nowhere to be found in reality. Maybe it should be changed to “OCCUPIED AMERICA”.
