Susan Rice to be honored with “Great American Award” for “strengthening the world’s common security”

Susan Rice to be honored with “Great American Award” for “strengthening the world’s common security”

Kelsey Osterman

Susan-Rice 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 world’s 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.

This is so they can refer to her as "award winning" during tomorrow's hearings.

Basically just another academy awards. Patting each other on the back to try and raise their worth in the eyes of the commoner.

The Joint Center appears to be a "community" organization.

I’d be willing to bet that Eric Holder will be in attendance. Not to mention Sheila Jackson-Lee! LOL!

democraps ploy when they get caught lying or one of their own is in serious trouble; they double down but for this administration and the Clintons, the cards never seem to get shown.

Quite the gala. /sarc

That's depressing just reading about it, I don't want to even think about attending something like that.

What a group, they deserve each other and I'd bet Plugs will open with one of his comedy routines.

I noticed at your link that J.C. Watts is a Board Member. That’s disappointing.

A bit like the Nobel Peace price for Obama and Yasser Arafat. Accolades for doing nothing.
