I just believe that the President is too smart and much smarter then the GOP to be distracted from [View all]
his economic agenda because of the Susan Rice issue. Everyone with a brain, and that includes the GOP, knows that Susan Rice was not to blame for the misleading info about Benghazi. Ms Rice has a brilliant mind and character as demonstrated by her academic and political accomplishments and she need not prove herself to anyone. This entire charade is designed to embarrass the President, if not an attempt to blame him for what happened in Benghazi. It is painfully obvious that little blame is being cast at the Secretary of State who actually has direct responsibility over our consulates everywhere. Not that they (GOP) like MS. Clinton any better but they know that a direct attack on Susan Rice is closer to blaming the President. The GOP desperately wants a WIN over this President and they willing to throw any shit up against the wall to have something stick.
So, my advice to the President, (if he asked for it) would be to go through the investigation by Congress, largely ignoring them, name someone else as the nominee to SOS (Kerry or even a moderate GOP or Independent) and let the GOP BELIEVE they forced you to not name Ms. Rice as a choice. Them swiftly move on. Ms. Rice will not suffer politically or career wise. Her headaches will be over as she carries on numerous media interviews and speaking engagements when her service to the government is over. They just made her an instant millionaire and untouchable by further ignorant GOP and RW ravings.
