U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice will be honored Tuesday night with the 2013 Louis E. Martin Great American Award.
The annual award, presented by The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, is given to “an exemplar of change, progress and coalition-building across racial lines,” according to a press release.
Specifically, the organization is honoring Rice for ”her work in advancing U.S. interests, strengthening the worlds common security and prosperity, and promoting respect for human rights,” another press release states.
The evening gala and awards ceremony at which Vice President Joe Biden will speak comes a day before high-ranking state department officials testify at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the terrorist attack that took place at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi last year. The witnesses, who Oversight chair Darrell Issa (R-Calf.) is calling “whistleblowers,” are expected to contradict parts of the Obama administration’s narrative about the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks.
Specifically, some of the remarks Rice made on the Sunday morning news shows a few days after the incident will be called into question. During her interview with FOX News Sunday, Rice stated the attacks were a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in Cairo as a consequence of the video” a statement that was quickly proven false.
While Rice admittedly was the Obama administration’s fall guy on Benghazi a situation that ultimately cost her a bid for Secretary of State the award still seems ill-considered. But then again, according to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, the Benghazi attacks “happened a long time ago.” Perhaps The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies has forgotten about Rice’s role in skewing the narrative.
The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies had not responded to a request for comment at the time this article was published.
Maybe Benedict Arnold will be given a posthumous award by Leftists.
The brazen arrogance is simply breathtaking.
Another sham from this admin.
C’mon. When you post stuff like this, you really must label it “Satire”.
These people sure do spend a lot of time and effort giving each other award
I may have coined a new word for it: BADMINISTRATION!
Susan Rice and those who have supported, abetted, and mentored her and her unbelievable crass statements and positions, are doing just that.
They made up a story about Benghazi...took the basic points given to them by the people who were experts, and then wrested and warped and changed them so fundamentally as to say the oppositie of the truth they were given...and then they willfully ran with it and lied to Congress, the people of this nation, and everyone they could. They were wholly and willfully supported in this by the MSM, and others.
But, ultimately their lies will not only be revealed (because in truth they have been being revealed almost since day one), the consequences of their lies will catch up to them and bring them down.
I look forward to that day and hope that it is starting now, this week.
At the very least, a number of people need to be impeached and removed from office and then face prosecution for these lies.
At the best, they should be found guilty and then have several of them executed for their crimes.
Did these organizations honor CONDI Rice? SHE deserved it. not this obama-a$$kisser.
Rehab and reward ping
BTW: Speaking of rehab and reward /sarc, Did you know that there is one Benghazi survivor still in the hospital, 8 months later?
This is so typical of the liberals method of operation. They reward one of their own after that person has taken a bullet for the cause. Just like Dan Rather. They are just so noble and we need a opportunity to celebrate their courage.

Didn’t they give Dan Rather an award just as memo-gate was blowing up in his face?
