Obama vents over attacks on his UN envoy
2012-11-16
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] An outraged President Barack Obama
I inhaled. That was the point...
Tuesday accused Republicans, including John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution...
, of besmirching UN envoy Susan Rice, re-igniting a fierce row over the slaying of the US ambassador to Libya.

Obama threw the weight of his replenished political capital behind Rice, the favorite to be his next secretary of state, as Republicans, lined her up as a top administration scalp over the attack in Benghazi on September 11.

McCain and his ally Republican Senator Lindsey Graham
... the endangered South Carolina RINO...
 had earlier demanded "Watergate-style" hearings about what happened in Libya on September 11, and vowed to thwart any attempt to make her America's top diplomat.

"If Senator McCain and Senator Graham, and others want to go after somebody they should go after me," Obama declared, his eyes flashing real anger as he held his first presser since being re-elected last week.

"But 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 said.
This is how you know Susan Rice will be a great Secretary of State -- Champ has to defend her...
"To besmirch her reputation is outrageous," Obama said, adding that if he decided that Rice was the best candidate to succeed Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry Kissinger ...
 at the State Department, he would go ahead and pick her.
