President Obama, irritated by Republican pledges to prevent Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice from receiving a promotion, said that Rice’s critics “have a problem with me.”
“When they go after the UN ambassador apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me,” Obama told reporters today. “And should I choose — if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity of the State Department [head] then I will nominate her, but that’s not a determination I’ve made yet.”
Obama was responding to a press conference held by three GOP senators this morning. “We will do whatever’s necessary to block the nomination that’s within our power as far as Susan Rice is concerned,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told reporters today during a press conference on Capitol Hill. McCain faulted Rice for saying that the Benghazi terrorist attack grew out of a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam Youtube video.

Triple-cat.
Republicans ought to just needle this a-hole until he launches into a profanity laced tirade and bursts into tears.
I'm breaking out the popcorn and beer ...
“When they go after the UN ambassador apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me,”
Our ghetto gangsta president- even more the funny because it’s an act. He was raised a rich kid of privilege, and sent to expensive private schools, in Hawaii. Thats far far from Compton.
Is this what they promised Rice when she was sent out to lie for the regime? The SoS slot?
I don’t know how he can be stopped. He has control of the Senate.
That idiot obama truly has no idea what is and is not Constitutional... but pissing on republican Senators with egos as big as his... he will lose... DOW down over 100 points today... they hate obama too!

2/3 senate approval required for an appointee. It’ll take the demholes ten, or maybe as long as 15 minutes to find a dozen republican fools anxious to reach across the aisle and approve any loser Obama appoints.
“...then they’ve got a problem with me,” Obama told reporters today.”
Mr. Obama, there are a LOT of us who have a problem with you...
Yeah, we got a problem with you, a$$wipe.
Proving that Obama is as stupid as I always thought he was. Susan is going down Fur Shur.
Takes 60 votes to stop a Filibuster. The POS Dems ONLY have 55. McPain IS a RINO but I REALLY would not want to PISS him off, he COULD get ugly.

Could be. She was willing to pimp out her black status to make her immune from criticism by the right. I’m sure her deal was to get a good title in return.
He’s pretty tough when standing behind a podium or his wife...get him away from that protection and he’s the mom jeans, limp wristed, bike helmet wearing, whiny wannabe we see every other day.
I hope he enjoys it now...the common action after the mention of his name will be spitting on the ground. History will not be kind and God not impressed.
Even if he didn't have control of the Senate Obama still can't be stopped. He'll just by-pass it. What would the Republicans do?
Answer: About the same as they're doing now about the 2012 Voter Fraud.
EO: Immigration... oh such a long list and pile of paperwork on John Boehner's desk.
Shut your mouth and get me some coffee, boy. That's all you're qualified to do.
This proposal makes Jimmy Carter look like the very model of gravitas.
