Andrea Mitchell: Women In Admin. "Very Angry" With Obama Over Susan Rice

Real Clear Politics ^ | December 13, 2012 | Andrea Mitchell

[Seizethecarp]

ANDREA MITCHELL: A lot of Democrats are saying that the president did not show enough loyalty. A lot of women in the administration are very angry tonight, and I'm saying this at a very high level. Angry because they feel that she was not treated with respect, she was not given the support she needed and she was left to twist in the wind.

RACHEL MADDOW: They're angry, with whom though?

MITCHELL: Angry with the White House. And with the boss, with the president, for not be willing to fight this out. That he's backed down in the face of a challenge from the Republican minority, after having won a reelection victory. And most people in the foreign policy community understand that as qualified as John Kerry is, and he's superbly qualified, he was trained -- he lived for this post -- a son of a diplomat, and clearly wanted this job and will get this job.

But the anger is that she was not responsible for Benghazi. And that what was said on those Sunday talk shows -- if you were to deny a promotion to everyone who misspeaks or gets something wrong on Sunday television, including all of us, there would be no one left in Washington.

I didn't think this would go over well with Barry's female enablers and apologists. It is almost as though he is back where he was after the 1st debate getting pummeled for being spineless.

Andrea, shut up and make me a sammich.

[Mr. Jeeves]

SoS is now a girl job - they’re just mad that a boy is going to take it back. :)

Man these people are absolutely pathetic and have ZERO shame.

i just read this again.
This IS satire right?

[DakotaGator]

A lot of women in the administration are very angry tonight...

Why? Is it because Susan Rice was treated like any other fallguy?! Looks like equality to me.

[Seizethecarp]

Rice's WaPo post was a “protests too much” regarding how honest she was and wouldn't dream of misleading the public.

This has got to be thin-skinned Barry and Valerie making excuses for themselves through Rice...and also throwing Rice under the bus to protect Hillary as well who seconded Rice's lies just the other day.

[tumblindice]

“The boss”
Ol’ hatchet-face sounds like Nikita Kruschev in the movie “Enemy At The Gates”.

[Drill Thrawl]

Why is this news? Progressive women are always angry.

[fso301]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the same women fully supported Bill Clinton then and now.

[shibumi]

"... including all of us, there would be no one left in Washington."

Now that would be real progress.

“A lot of women in the administration are very angry tonight, and I’m saying this at a very high level.”

Did Andrea get a call from Susan Rice herself???

[GeronL]

That he's backed down in the face of a

demand for the truth!

[Seizethecarp]

Ping to Barry throwing Rice and her Benghazi narrative under the bus to protect Hillary (and himself) unraveling...

[MestaMachine]

hillary didn’t want her. End of story.

[MestaMachine]

Peripheral ping.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. Once hillary publicly dissed rice, it was all over.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Susan Rice is a political whore who lied to the American public about Benghazi on behalf of the Ubanga reelection effort. She thereby demonstrated that she (along with the rest of the Ubanga regime, of course) cannot be trusted. And so, “buh-bye.”

Good riddance to bad garbage.

(By the way, I wonder how much work Kerry did behind the scenes to make Susan Rice go away, lol.)
